Ted, I finally brought up the subject of making the morning-after pill OTC with my wife. She basically started off by saying, "Are you kidding me? The morning-after pill is a hormone. You just don't make a hormone OTC!" Then she proceeded to list off all the hazards of the morning-after pill (and its lesser equivalent, the birth-control pill). In comparison, aspirin really doesn't change the chemistry of the body as drastically as a hormone.

Plus she was unaware of Al's claim that the FTC voted twice 23-4 to make the morning-after pill OTC. As far as she knows, there is no active effort within the medical community to make the morning-after pill OTC.

There you have it, straight from the expert who is also pro-choice.
