Its true that taken improperly you can hurt your self; however the same can be said of Tylenol. As far as considering the political and emotional ramifications of abortion Plan B decreases the probability of abortion. (cause if your not pregnant you cant have an abortion) . Plan B is not an abortion pill. If you are pregnant plan B can't do anything for you. It decreases the chance of pregnancy if taken within a fairly narrow window. Its not as effective as birth control pills or using a condom. No one would have sex with the intionon of taking Plan B after its for emergencies (hence the name)

I can bet you, Mr. thebob.bob, that you haven't even researched the negative effects of the morning-after pill!!! Plus, I'm betting that you are a man; so, you have no idea the awful repercussions that women who commit an abortion go through! Well guess what; through personal experience, I DO! So before you go passing ignorant judgments, do your homework!
-Despite the claims of the (Plan B) morning-after pill's producers, it has not had long-term research done on it in order to determine whether it is even safe for women to take.
-It can destroy parts of the reproductive system, keeping the woman from ever being able to have a baby.
-As an abortifacient, a woman will experience serious depression after taking the pill, just like those who have had other forms of abortion. Of course, the doctors who give abortions won't tell you this because they want your money.
And by the way, the "religious whackos" are the ones who created our great nation. Once again, you need to do your homework instead of sleeping through history class. It's because of shallow people like you, who have no sense of morals, that the crime rate in America is at the highest its ever been and that the value of personal responsibility and hard work is virtually extinct!

So who is responsible when side effects or over-dosing cause problems due to these medications being available to anyone without a prescription? Does Planned Parenthood agree to indemnify the manufacturers? - Perhpas the Judge will? Right - NOT!

If the right-wing Christian extremist had not imposed their own narrow religious definition of 'morality' on the FDA, this wouldn't even be an issue. A women should control her own reproductive rights. Keep the religious whackos out of government
