I just can't see someone forking over $30 on a regular basis for it -- most people don't have that kind of cash to throw around constantly. It adds up after awhile.
It's a tough call to make. I'm pro-choice (btw, I don't know anyone who is pro-abortion), and part of me says that this could be very helpful for women who find themselves in a difficult situation. However, I would hate to see it abused by someone who is just too lazy to use regular forms of birth control. But I guess those same people can abuse it now even though it's not over the counter. Like I said, tough call.

I totally agree. i think it would empower women so greatly becasue taking that pill is so much more simple than having an abortion. It would just give women another choice in birth control(not that I'm saying use this pill instead of other forms of birth control.) Also, in anything there are people who will be responsible and use meds as directed and others who will abuse the right.
