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.

I totally agree with both points on your (hypothetical) t-shirt. The idiocy of the 18 and over clause makes me want to stand outside the pharmacy and tell teenagers I'll be their source.

I'm surprised Plan B isn't standard after a rape.
