To me, however, the reason why the morning-after pill is being pursued as an OTC drug, but the oral contraceptive isn't, is pure politics.

You are wrong...as usual. The real reason is the desire to make Plan B accessible. The potential to reduce abortions is tremendous...Christians see it as the tool to damnation. That's the politics that keeps from being accessible.

Besides, pharmacists already have prescriptive power for emergency cases when a doctor isn't available, and the morning-after pill qualifies as such a case.

For life saving measures...not for plan B...are you sure...ah, never mind.
