Easy Morning After

From the BBC:
"US justice department fights 'morning-after' pill case"

The US justice department has filed an appeal against a judge's ruling that requires the "morning-after" pill to be available to all ages. The government says the judge exceeded his authority, and has asked for a suspension while the case is decided. The New York judge said the decision to limit Plan B without a prescription to those 17 and older was "capricious". The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug on Tuesday over the counter for those aged 15 and above. The deadline to comply with the judge's order is this Monday. In 2011, the FDA said it had concluded the "morning after" pill could be safely used by girls of child-bearing age. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was accused of bowing to social conservatives after she took the unprecedented step of over-ruling the agency.

^ This is ridiculous. I am all for girls/women 17 and over to have access to the morning after pill without a prescription, but I think it should stay behind the counter and they should need have their ID scanned the same way you do when you buy the real Sudafed. I do not think it should be so easy for girls 15-16 to get. They should have to have a prescription to get it in this case. According to the FDA it should be given to girls even younger than 15 since a girl can bear a child when she is 11 and up. I don't know how the judge came up with the 15 age range, but it doesn't make sense. ^
