I missed the part where the Bush Administration is limiting the access to birth control pills. I think any woman can go to a doctor and get an Rx for BCP. Now this other pill, which contains mega doses of hormones, might have a place but it might also be dangerous to allow it to be sold OTC.
Women can get it with an Rx. If we still have regular, tested and proven, BCP on Rx then why would we make something potentially harmful OTC? What is the long term sequale of these doses and what happens to irresponsible people who take them more frequently than is recommended. Blood clots, stroke, cancer, all associated with high doses of estrogen.
We have a reason for making some drugs prescription, public health is one of them. Maybe we can make oxycontin OTC, no one would abuse it or be harmed by it.
