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.

Hmmmmmm, so Planned Parenthood can start giving out prescription pills without prescriptions?

Maybe Rush Limbaugh can help them.

I think it has been proven safe enough to not require a prescription.

That very well could be.

But it's still illegal.

How is it illegal? "Planned Parenthood says recipients will undergo a "brief screening" and all charts will be reviewed by a doctor or nurse practitioner.
Colorado allows in some cases for prescriptions without full exams, according to state Department of Regulatory Agencies."

I, for one, don't see why morning after pills should have to be prescribed at all. I believe they should be a product similar to that of Advil in which you can buy off of the shelf at any convenient store. This would let pharmacists keep their precious moral fibers as well as keep the product available for the masses that need them.

I agree

I think it has everything to do with their possible side effects, their relatively un-tested state, and what they're used for.

For instance, you can't just go buy Wellbutrin off the shelf. And the reasons are fairly obvious.

Why would any Christian be against this? It would prevent pregnancy and thus prevent abortion!!

If it is legal and already available....who cares who gives it out? Change the law if you can, but don't get angry at just one source......
