A court decision truly worth celebrating! Emergency contraception will be made available over/behind-the-counter to 17 year olds, following a court order that gives the FDA 30 days to change current restrictions that prohibit people younger than 18 from purchasing the medication. [NYT]
While I find some relief in the court's move to overturn the contentious Bush-era regulation, I take issue with the prohibitive cost of the medication ($30-$60/pill)and hope that the ruling will provide space for conversations about issues of accessibility beyond age restrictions.
