The side effects clearly were not good but were no worse than the ones cited for almost every other drug on the market.......you've heard the rap on tv..."singular can cause severe muscle cramping, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea and must be taken with the consent of your doctor". How is the morning after pill any different than those other advertised medicines? The one that scares me the most is for Viagra, when they warn about 4+ hour erections...ouch!! Al

Ted, Therefore, your claim that the side effects for the morning after pill are "orders of magnitude" worse [than aspirin] does not jive with the evidence Oh OK, an "order of magnitude" worse. Like 17% vs. 1.7%. Of course, in the end, it really doesn't matter what the side effects are because if a woman chooses to take the AM pill, its her choice, not yours or mine. Fine, then let's just get rid of the whole prescription drug nonsense and just make all drugs OTC. If some loser wants to abuse Valium, it's his choice, not yours or mine. If he dies due to his irresponsibility, it's his fault because he should have known the risks. Tenchusatsu
