Planned Parenthood said it will distribute free ?morning after? contraceptives at state clinics Friday to protest Gov. Bill Owens? veto of a bill that would have let pharmacists prescribe the pill.

Owens rejected the measure in April, saying that spreading prescription power beyond doctors and specialized nurses ?strays radically from the accepted norms of medicine.?

?Every woman should have it in their medicine cabinets, in case of birth control failure, or worse, sexual assault,? Vicki Cowart, president of Planned Parenthood of the Rockies, said in a statement.
