18. Nice attitude.
"This is no different than birth control pills."

Yeah, actually it is. If you knew about how drugs actually work, you wouldn’t say that.

"Women are smart. We know how to take medications. We know our bodies. We know about reproduction. We know about our finances and our personal situation.”

All of which has exactly zero to do with the safety of the drug and its potential ramifications.

No, it should not be available without a prescription. Besides the many unresolved safety questions about the drug itself, non-prescription availability would lead to a reduction in the reporting of rape cases because the victims wouldn’t need a hospital exam to get the pill.
