FDA has approved Plan B One-Step, the morning after pill, for girls as young as age 15.
U.S. District Court Edward Korman had previously ordered the drug to be placed over the counter, and sold with no age restrictions whatsoever.
This present FDA decision is related to the prior application of Teva for FDA approval of over the counter sales to girls aged 15 and older, and not to Korman’s decision.
Expect the Judge to prevail (and establish the FDA to be an agency without authority). The leftists will continue to complain that 15 year olds do not carry proof of their age when they go shopping, and that younger girls should be weened from their mother and be made sexually available shortly thereafter, with birth control fully accessible to them along with chewable children’s vitamins.
Realistically, most of the morning after pills placed out on the shelves, as the judge demanded, would be stolen, not purchased, so the worry about a need for proof of age is a moot issue.
