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.
This coming from the people who crow about parental rights is quite ironic. You know, the same would apply for cigarettes, too.
I would HOPE that parents would have Plan B on hand for their daughters at risk.
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.
Do you have a link? Considering that most people don't even know that Plan B exists (thanks to people like you who fight to suppress info on Plan B to people who could use it), I wonder at the value of such conclusions as you draw.
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.
And to hell with the victim in this case. Better that the girl is made pregnant to satisfy your need for revenge than to protect the girl from greater harm resulting from such a crime, right? What kind of heartless attitude is that?
And why should the girl pay the price for the man's crime? What is gained by that?
Jesus fucking Christ!
Look at the dangerous abortion drug RU 486.
Why? We're talking about Plan B, which is something else entirely. Why do you always try to conflate the two?
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.
You really don't want to go there, or else you'd have to acknowledge that abortion rates are among the highest in Catholic countries where the reproductive laws are a wingnut's dream -- no birth control, no abortion. Brazil is right up there at the top, and their laws would make Dobson glow with pride.
Please spare the women in this country your particular sickness. Forced pregnancy and slavery for fertile women is no solution, no matter how much you want to stick your nose into other people's business.
Amazing where priorities lie for some people.
