They named it after an abortion drug?
Strange hill to die on
- blowski 2y agoI have said and read “Plan B” many times in my life, almost never in connection with an abortion drug. Searching on Google, “Plan B” is more connected with the musician and politicans’ speeches.
- breakfastduck 2y agoThe morning after pill, taken by people to prevent pregnancy after having sex without birth control, is very often referred to as 'Plan B' in the USA.
- boredtofears 2y ago"Plan B morning after-pill" is the first page of hits on Google for me, and definitely is the first thing that popped into my head. Perhaps its a region-specific thing, though.
- DougBTX 2y agoYeah, US-centric, I wouldn’t have thought of that. My search results page for Plan B has a musician, a film, climate change advocacy... but the ads are all for pills.
- plan_b_today 2y agoPlan B founder here, I am not from US and had no idea this name was linked to an abortion drug. As they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity!
