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.

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. You are so full of it, your back teeth are floating. The side effects for aspirin that I posted were for 1000 MG per day. That is hardly an overdose. You all are so corrupted you would defend Bush right after he killed a little ole lady with his car. Your words mean little.
