If I understand correctly...

The standard for determining whether contraceptives or any other drug should be available OTC turns “solely on the ability of the consumer to understand how to use the particular drug safely and effectively.”

Lots of drugs are sold OTC that should not be given to children under any circumstances whatsoever. Neither law nor existing regulation provide for anything other than point of sale restrictions. The White House can't arbitrarily step in and say that a drug which clears every other hurdle put up by the FDA is different because they don't like what it's for.

I don't like children using this but it's likely better to have parents control this than the state.

Yep - I’m with you on this up to a point.

So your reasoning is that the Executive Branch setting arbitrary limits shouldn’t be allowed. Would it be okay for Congress to set such arbitrary limits?
