Here we go again!

After years of tedious debate, last year the Morning After Pill otherwise known as Plan B was finally allowed to be sold over the counter here in the U.S. (It had already been readily available in New Zealand, Australia, and Europe for a long time).

For those of you who don't know, the Morning After Pill if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex can reduce your chance of getting pregnant by 89 percent. The chances are even better if taken within 24 hours.

Since its debut on the market it has been enormously popular.

But now, once again, critics of the drug are trying their best to take it off the market again.
This article goes into the details.

To me, this is just selfish. Their reasoning is that it is making teens more promiscuous- the drug is available to those age 18 or up- as they can have a back-up plan that is simpler than abortion.

These claims have not been substantiated. Granted, nor have claims that it will reduce the abortion rate. But it has only been one year. (By the way, the morning after pill is not a form of abortion, as some people would like you to believe). It works by preventing the pregnancy from happening in the first place.

It's called "Plan B" for a reason. It shouldn't be your primary use of birth control, but it should be there in case of an emergency.

How is it hurting anyone to have that option?
