The FDA has eased its limits on Plan B, the so-called "morning after pill." Women 18 or older can now buy the pill without a prescription, although the pill will be kept behind the counter at pharmacies.
Plan B is not RU486, the so-called "abortion pill." RU486 terminates an existing pregnancy and has been linked to increased risk for breast and uterine cancer.
Feminists enthusiastically supported this decision, but given the current "fertility gap" between liberals and conservatives, they are the ones who should have been the most concerned.
