You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at savage.love.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.

Hey everybody, Nancy is away this week. I'm away this week, but we have got a full show ready for you.

Going to be a short intro, though. Three things I wanted to quickly mention before you get to your questions.

Thing number one, last week, Louisiana became the first date to criminalize the possession

of Mithopristone and Misoprostol, the abortion medications I can barely pronounce.

Now anyone in Louisiana caught with M&Ms without a prescription faces thousands of dollars

in fines and up to five years in prison.

And pregnant women, of course,

in Louisiana, can't get a prescription because abortion is illegal in that state, in all cases,

including rape and incest. Pregnant women caught with the drug, or pregnant women who took the drug,

are exempt from punishment. They can't be fined or imprisoned because, as the New York Times, grimly notes, most abortion bans and restrictions do not punish pregnant women because

most voters oppose doing so.

So it's really people who took my advice in Louisiana who are at risk.

My advice, of course, was to order these pills. Stock up, keep them on

hand. They have a shelf life of two to five years. They're safe and effective for self-administered

abortions. And if you're one of the very rare women who have complications after taking them,

M&M-induced abortions are indistinguishable from miscarriages. So you do not have to disclose that you took these medications if you should wind up in the ER,

which is extremely unlikely.

Sexually active people who are sexually active with opposite sex partners and the people

who love them should keep these meds handy in the same way.
