The discussion about the pharmacist who refused to give a woman emergency contraception reminded me of this. What do you all think about making emergency contraception available over the counter? I don't know enough about the drug to have an opinion on this, but I'm curious as to what you all think.
 
Unfortunately, I think making it readily available OTC would only increase the already irresponsible attitude of the general populous. Hell...condoms are available and arent used. To some I think "morning after pill" would equal "do whatever I want on Saturday night and Sunday i will be fine".

Agreed. There is a lot of irresponsibility out there, especially among teenagers. This would definitely be a bad idea. The next thing you would hear would be stories of over-use and abuse.
