I'm not sure why Plan B should be available over the counter. It's a serious drug and should be readily available, but why over the counter? I guess I don't think that drugs that alter your natural reproductive cycles are trifling things that anyone could pick up any time. This goes for birth control pills as well. I'm all for women having better access to all this - I think there should be a Planned Parenthood on every corner, where, by the way, BC pills are $14 a pack - but I don't think all drugs should be unmonitored in how they are taken and by whom.
I'd be interested to hear from those of you who know more about the pharmaceutical nature of Plan B as to why it should be over the counter.
