I don't quite understand your point, but I believe that two years ago either the so-called "morning after" pill wasn't approved, or there wasn't a supply of them available to the general public, or it was only available by prescription. I'm not sure.

Davis has got to go, for more reasons than this, but to me, this is a biggie. One point I forgot to mention above is that this is a government mandate in the health care industry, which will increase the costs of health care for everyone. When health insurance costs rise, people fall off the insurance rolls. For those FReepers who don't think abortion is a serious evil, perhaps a sound business argument will convince you this is a bad decision.

You might be confusing the "morning-after pill" with RU486, which is the two-stage chemical abortion that has to be done under a doctor's supervision. Morning-after pills are just extra-strength birth-control pills and they've been around for at least twenty-five years. You had to get them through a doctor (just like birth-control pills) but they were certainly available. They do work as an abortifacient if conception occurred, but they work by preventing implantation, unlike RU486 which expels an implanted embryo.
