The markets are deluged with advertisements about i pill an emergency female contraceptive by Cipla which prevents unwanted pregnancy.
Whenever I see the ad I start thinking about –
The untiring NGO’s who work in the red light area making the sex workers aware of the dangers of unprotected sex.The main danger that being of Aids and unwanted pregnancy. With the ipill the major danger of being pregnant being removed the poor sex worker even if she knows about the importance of a condom will not be able to insist about its use as the customer will tell her to take a ipill. Naturally he will never ever reveal his Aids status.The hard work of the NGO’s can be negated.
Also I start thinking about the Teenagers dying to experiment with sex will be able to do so with no restrictions or fear.I know the number of teenage pregnancies will decrease but what about the other dangers of unprotected sex.
On the other hand it is a boon for poor rape victim who has to suffer through no fault of hers.At least she would not have to face the trauma of rape as well as abortion.
So it remains an unanswerable puzzle for me.
