access, access!

We may be inching, but we're getting somewhere:
"Two weeks ago, a federal judge ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to allow 17-year-olds to buy the emergency contraceptive pill Plan B without a prescription and to consider allowing such purchases by younger girls as well. Previously, the agency had set 18 as the cutoff age, meaning younger girls had to consult a doctor to get the pill."

Now if only Plan B were more affordable... ::nudge nudge::

[wow, this blog is going in a lot of different directions these days... hmmm]
