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.

Knucklehead - the pill's effectiveness declines over the first 72 hours after intercourse, and young folks have a poor chance of obtaining it if it is not OTC...meantime they get pregnant and continue to abort. Why do you presume to know more than the FDA's own panel of experts who 23-4 recommended that it go OTC ... twice?
