The morning after pill is touted as a drug that will help reduce unwanted pregnancies, but it's not going to do that.
A 2005 study co-authored by a Planned Parenthood doctor in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that having Plan B on hand did nothing to reduce pregnancy rates compared to those who obtained the drug from a pharmacy.
Meanwhile, there is no enforcement of the restriction that the drug not be sold to girls under 18. The FDA has no authority or ability to enforce an age restriction.
A parent, older sibling or other relative or older friends could purchase the morning after pill for young teens, avoiding the requirement that they visit a doctor first before using the drug.
Also, selling the morning after pill over the counter will make it easier for men who abuse young women to cover up their crimes.
Any adult male who is having sex with a minor could walk into a pharmacy, buy the drug, and coax the girl into taking the pill.
Look at the dangerous abortion drug RU 486.
Abortion businesses were given certain restrictions by the FDA on the dangerous abortion drug RU 486, but those haven't been followed. That's resulted in the deaths of seven women and more than 900 who reported to the FDA they had been injured by the abortion drug -- with some requiring emergency surgeries for incomplete abortions, blood transfusions and infections nearly causing death.
The morning after pill has also failed to reduce the number of abortions in the way abortion advocates claim it would. The study mentioned above showed it had no affect on abortion rates.
Also, Scotland, which made the morning-after pill nonprescription in 1999. In 2005, Scotland reported its highest number of abortions since abortion was legalized in 1967.
