Al, I thought you were talking about side effects, and posted links showing that there are no severe adverse side effects...hence the aspirin link. Why don't you defend YOUR position and post a link showing that there are effects, as you intimated...
LOL, you can't even keep a consistent argument. You already posted the side-effects:
Some women experience temporary side effects after taking Plan B. Approximately 23.1 percent of women taking Plan B experience nausea (compared to 50.5 percent with the older Yuzpe regimen of high-dose estrogen-progestin pills), and 5.6 percent vomit (compared to 18.8 percent). Other side effects may include lower abdominal pain (17.6 percent), fatigue (16.9 percent), headache (16.8 percent), dizziness (11.2 percent), breast tenderness (10.7 percent), and menstrual changes, including heavier bleeding (13.8 percent) and lighter bleeding (12.5 percent).
And those side-effects are typical when prescribed in a controlled fashion. (Those aren't all of them, either.) Then you post a link to aspirin's side-effects, but those are more typical of overdosing and/or complications with countless medical conditions, which will obviously pop up when hundreds of millions of people take aspirin for the most mundane things.
With the side-effects of the morning-after pill already orders of magnitude more significant than aspirin, making it OTC is just plain old asking for trouble. Millions of women will start considering it a normal form of birth control instead of what it was always meant to be in the first place: emergency contraception.
