i know i was confused about the differences between the morning after pill and RU-486/mifepristone - i thought they were the same thing - so Munchkin, thank you very much for enlightening me!!
On that note - I think the morning after pill should be available over the counter for all of the reasons people have mentioned already. It will only work up to 72 hours after unprotected sex - most girls that are extremely promiscious wouldn't worry about being pregnant until they showed signs of it - which is way longer than 72 hours - and then they would just go get an abortion. Unprotected sex is a way of life. But accidents happen, bad decisions are made, and having this pill available for people is necessary.
