What do you think about allowing 17 year old's to buy a morning-after pill without a prescription?

Asked by avalmez (1614points) April 23rd, 2009

A Federal judge recently ruled that 17 year old girls can buy a morning-after pill without a prescription.

I have several daughters and I’m not certain what to make of this. This is not a question about abortion or abstinence, but rather a question about whether parents who are otherwise responsible for a 17 year old can be taken out of the loop as in this case.

Apparently the judge’s ruling states that if a 17 year old can have sex then she should be able to buy the pill. Does that really make sense to you?
