If this is an over-the-counter drug, one would suspect true cases of rape will be under-reported by girls and women who are embarassed or frightened.
What effects would this have on a woman and on a child she is carrying if it is taken after 72 hours? It's entirely possible for a woman to not know she was pregnant prior to the event; it's also possible that someone in panic after that time frame would overdose on those pills, thinking more will work later.
Any woman who is considering terminating a pregnancy needs counseling (before and after) and she needs support. She needs medical analysis to be sure there are no complications.
This is terrible. It's treating getting pregnant like catching a cold...go home, pop some pills, rest a few days. I'm shocked that GWB, religious leaders, medical professionals and counselors aren't all over the FDA on this one.
