The article above is about an approved amendment (Plan B) to the licensing bill, that may restrict access to the Emergency Contraception (EC) in the state of Missouri. It gives pharmacies the right to sell (EC) or not to. This is potentially problematic to females because the contraception if taken within 24 hours after sex can be 95% effective to avoid pregnancy. My view on this subject is similar to Mary Still's who told Missourian, "....This is one more weapon of mass distraction that we see at a time where we should be paying attention to the real issues of the state."

I understand that this is an important drug that could mean the difference between a child and freedom. But what a waste of time and money. If there is demand for the drug then it will be available. It will still be possible to obtain within the elapsed time. People that rely on this to prevent pregnancy on a regular basis deserve to get pregnant. These people should worry a little more about their choices and behavior rather than rushing to the pharmacy to get their baby fix.
