Morning After Pill in Canada: Prescription May Not Be Needed

TORONTO, May 18 - The government proposed on Tuesday to allow women to obtain the so-called morning after birth-control pill without a prescription at any pharmacy in Canada.

...

The move comes only weeks after the acting director of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States refused to allow the morning after pill to be sold without a prescription.

The latest divergence in American and Canadian social policy - the two governments have also gone in different directions on drug enforcement and same-sex marriages - is likely to result in many American women crossing the border to obtain the pills.

...

Women in Quebec, Saskatchewan and British Columbia can already buy the pill without a prescription simply by consulting a pharmacist. The proposed amendment to the Canadian Food and Drug Regulations would expand that availability across the country. It would be left to the provinces to decide at which age women could obtain the drug.

1. Bush Strangles American Women

He and Ashcroft, Falwell, and Robertson will define American women reproductive medications. They are God, and will so command. They as Taliban substitutes will dictate women's reproduction. What a bunch of sickos. Bush and the rest of his neocons would not have the guts to stand up and declare the end to women's reproductive rights. They just want to sneak it in. The snakes.
