Since the Supreme Court overturned row, sales of the morning after pill have exploded.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Amazon has had to restrict purchase numbers of the morning after pill, as did CVS and Riteate.

One company saw a 600% increase in purchases of the morning after pill within 24 hours of the Dobbs decision.

72% of those were for multiple units. Morning after pills,

often called by the brand name Plan B, don't need a prescription. They range from $10 to $50 a pop.

Women take it within three days of unprotected sex to deter ovulation, and if not that, to prevent

the fertilized egg from implanting in the womb, which, as the Catholic

Church has pointed out, is an abortion.

It's not the same as what's called medication abortion, that's two different pills, used

up to 11 weeks after a woman's period.

And a commercial for a new show that I can't recommend, a woman hands a friend a bag with

a morning after pill so the friend can sleep with a guy spontaneously.

In other words, that phrase, emergency contraceptive, is most often a misnomer.

Most of the talk of so-called reproductive justice is about sex without restraint.
