One of the reasons Plan B aka the morning after pill gets quite exactly so much flak as it does, is because people confuse it with RU-486.
Perzactly! And there is some follow up with RU-486 because of the nature of the procedure. If the pills (there is a combination with this, too) don't work, they have to do a surgical abortion, so it's not like taking a fucking Flinstone vitamin.
I have hot buttons but I think I should watch the ep before I start unloading criticism.
I can't remember: did they call it the Morning After pill in the show?
No.
No.
But the CW\'s promotional material did. From the Feministing article:
The CW network\'s promotional material said:
Veronica is hired by Bonnie, a promiscuous classmate, to find out who secretly slipped her the morning after pill, causing her to have a miscarriage.
That's what it said on my tv's digital guide.
They were pretty consistent about calling it RU-486 during the episode. I think the problem has to be with the folks who wrote the promotional material not knowing the difference.
...but I thought the CW was hip to women's issues, like what kind of underwear girls should wear and whether Veronica really loves Logan or just like-loves Logan and what's up with Piz, anyway. At least, that's what I used to learn from the ubiquitious airie girls.
Does the disappearance of the airie girls (much as I'd like to think that it could only be a good thing) mean that the CW has lost one of their major sponsors?
the aerie girls were only slated to do their inane babble for the first mystery arc. i have no idea if that means that AE is or isn't still a sponsor.
I can't remember: did they call it the Morning After pill in the show? I know it's in the title -- but lots of people don't know the titles of tv episodes.
Also, the title was "There's Got to Be a Morning After Pill," not "Oh No! Someone Slipped Bonnie the Morning After Pill."
the aerie girls were only slated to do their inane babble for the first mystery arc.
I only remember seeing the aerie girls for the first two episodes of the season. I thought that they dropped that when they realized that it may work for GG, but not for VM. Or did the aerie girls continue to appear for the entire first story arc, and my mind, knowing what's best for me, automatically filter them out?
they were there for the full nine eps.
