FDA OKs nonprescription ‘morning-after’ pill
Decision allows over-the-counter sale of Plan B for those 18 or older

WASHINGTON - Women may buy the morning-after pill without a prescription — but only with proof they’re 18 or older, federal health officials ruled Thursday, capping a contentious three-year effort to ease access to the emergency contraceptive.

I'm more than a little on the Pro-Choice side of things- for those that didn't know. To mis-quote a familiar line- let's have every child be a wanted child. So along those lines, I think this is very good news for American women.

I agree 100%.

IMO, a pregnancy isn't a true and fast pregnancy until there is actual implantation of the fertilized egg.

Anyway, the people who get so vocal and are adament against it haven't done their homework.

I concur. They haven't done their homework, or are at least totally oblivious to the science and deny it. The last there bothers me the most. They're the people you can explain it to- and STILL have them claim it's abortion.

At which point a brick wall to pound your head into looks inviting. ;)

It's one thing to be ignorant, but quite another to blatantly ignore proven information on principle alone.

*sigh* sometimes there just aren't enough brick walls to go around... :)
