Should it be available to all women of child bearing years......over the counter?

Hmmmm, tough one. Part of me says yes it should be available just like condoms, but part of me thinks it should be dispensed at least through a pharmacist ~ you know, take the card to the counter and get the medication.
No. As with the pill, it can have serious side effects for some people. I do not think it should be OTC. Available to women of all childbearing age? Yes. But not OTC.
Nope. People are dumb enough to make it their preferred form of birth control.
Quoting praisinghim2day:Nope. People are dumb enough to make it their preferred form of birth control.
IMO this isn't a relevant argument. There are condoms and spermicides available OTC. The morning after pill doesn't abort a pregnancy, it prevents one from happening.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. Just because it's available doesn't mean they're going to take the time to use them.

Are you opposed to birth control or just the morning after pill?
My concern is with consistent use. The MAP is a very high dose of hormones. Much like the BC pill, only higher doses. It is not intended to be used on a regular basis. I would suspect that doing so could indeed cause any given woman issues.
If it is OTC I can see young women/girls using it regularly.
I'm sure it would be even more of a pain to regulate who uses it and how often. *sigh*
