This is not the "abortion pill" RU486.   It is currently available by
Rx except a few states have made it OTC.   Now the FDA will allow it
otc  for those women 18 and older.

Yes, now all they need to do is announce when it will be available OTC.

yes, but there are some pharmacists who will not sell it and private drug
stores (in my state) that will not even stock it.  hmmm . . . but i bet
these same pharmacists don't have a moral issue about selling viagra.

and where will this overly-zealous moralizing and judgmentalizing end?--will
specific anti-biotics that treat stds be next as a "moral"
target?--supported by the irrationally misguided thinking--that effort will
stop extra-marital sex.  or aids' drugs?  or maybe uterine cancer drugs,
because that's caused by a virus spread sexually (they've already targeted
the vaccine.)?  probably birth control pills will be the next target,
because two of those will do the same thing as RU486.

grrrr . . .
