More U.S. women using the "morning-after" pill: report

I may be wrong, but I'm thinking the vast majority of resistance to the morning-after pill is from a "moral" and/or "religious" point of view regarding promiscuity and such things....

Quite likely, certainly in the US. That doesn't change my point that is no good reason to completely ignore the safety factor when pushing to change the situation. Just because something is restricted for bad reasons doesn't automatically mean there are no good reasons to maintain at least some of those restrictions.

There's a ca-gillion dangerous things for sale in the world that don't require a doctor's visit.

Again, I'm not suggesting they be doled out like tic-tacs to any female who enters a store....
 
Since the morning after pill is OTC, but kept behind the counter, a pharmacist can exercise the right to refuse giving it to you. A few pharmacists where I am at see it as against their religion, so they won't sell it to customers.

I don't mind that - as long as it's posted somewhere. Nothing is more annoying than going through the process of getting it filled only then to find out they wont (if they remember to address it up front)

The "controversy" part is some of what I'm referring to, and,
"one version" to me sounds like there are other versions that are only available through prescription.

If that's wrong, and they're all now available over the counter, that's a good thing.

The only other version of EC has not even applied for OTC status

But Ella’s manufacturer, HRA Pharma, didn’t even apply for over-the-counter approval because ulipristal acetate, Ella’s chemical name, is a completely new chemical entity.
