As for the post, I agree with Gov.P. As for non-prescription sale, I am a bit on the fence. Perhaps an open ended one with a duration of months, a year. Seems to me if you are going to be using an oral contraceptive, you should consult a doctor. There are hazards involved with RU-481, or any other pharmicutical. Hope I spelled that right, I am in to big a hurry to open the dictionary.

Don’t know. I posted a comment on the Friday babe, came back to main, and here we are. Pasword protected was gone.

It said this post was password protected.  Did I mess something up?

I changed the password-protected status, I don’t know why it came up like that…

The ghost in the machine!

The morning-after pill should be available to any woman over the age of 18.

Why 18? Is that the age at which it becomes possible for women to become pregnant?

I concur, ALL ROB’S FAULT!!

That’s on our end Andrew. We’ll make sure Rob gets the memo.

Why 18?

Girls under the age of 18 should still be able to get them, just not without parental permission.  Like 2Hotel9 said, there are risks involved with using the morning after pill so parental consent should be needed.

I agree with Pataki.  I have no problem with the “morning after pill” per se, but minors shouldn’t have access to it without parental permission.

As for making it perscription-only for adults...I guess I’m torn.  I’d have to know more about the sorts of things that could go wrong while taking this drug.  If there is a legitimate danger in having people dispense the pills to themselves I think it needs to stay perscription-only.
