Plan B Contraception



What if rubby-rubby, smooch-smooch leads to hiding the cuke? Hey, no problem, no worries, just go to Plan B.

Women’s health groups gave measured praise to the U.S. government’s proposal to make a branded version of the morning-after pill available over the counter without age restrictions, expressing concern that cheaper generics may still be kept behind the counter.

The U.S. said in a letter filed yesterday in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, that it granted a petition to make Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA)’s Plan B One-Step emergency contraceptive available without age or point-of-sale restrictions.

Not everyone agrees with the decision.
