Al, You continue to miss the point...as believed to work, the odds of fertilization are lowest if you take Plan B immediately...in other words, if you are having sex, and your partner's condom breaks, or a woman is raped, or for whatever other unplanned reason you believe your chances of pregnancy are greatest, the odds of Plan B acting on a fertilized egg INCREASE as time passes. Still doesn't answer any of my other questions. If you want to argue probabilities, let's try this: How many side effects of Plan B are not revealed, especially by the maker's PR literature? What's the chances of those side effects occuring? 0.1%? 0.5%? Is that an acceptable percentage of women experiencing serious side effects, especially in light of making Plan B OTC and widespread? Is that worth reducing the probability of pregnancy through easy access? I will grant you this, though. It seems "emergency prescriptive power" for Plan B only applies to six states, including California. Maybe that's why you didn't believe me at first, because I incorrectly assumed that it's nationwide. Tenchusatsu
