The important news of the day?

Ain't Pluto. Y'all are missing it.

The "morning-after" contraceptive pill can be sold to those 18 and older in the United States without a prescription, the Food and Drug Administration ruled on Thursday, ending a three-year battle over the morality of wider access and use by teenagers.

The FDA ordered Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s Plan B pills must stay behind pharmacy counters to prevent those under 18 from receiving the drug without a prescription.

So.

I don't need a prescription. I don't even have to give a reason. Hmmm.

I'm tempted to go see how many of these things I can go pick up just for the ugly fun of it. Maybe even get a t-shirt made that says "Will Buy Plan B For You." Of course, I'd have to put something snarky on the back like "Complete with Clue By Four," but I'd do it.

These things ought to come with the rape kits for emergency rooms. Honestly.

Side effects? We know it has side effects. I had a condom break once. My hospital employee roommate came back with a pack of birth control pills and told me to take them all at once. It worked, but that had side effects. People can try to be responsible and still need this. With all the doctors and pharmists that aren't willing to do their job, this should come mail order, and everyone should keep one for just in case.
