One Problem, One Solution

So removing Roe was a disaster eh?
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Thursday approved the nation’s first over-the-counter birth control pill in a landmark decision that will soon allow American women and girls to obtain contraceptive medication as easily as they buy aspirin and eyedrops.
The Food and Drug Administration cleared once-a-day Opill to be sold without a prescription, making it the first such medication to be moved out from behind the pharmacy counter. The manufacturer, Ireland-based Perrigo, won’t start shipping the pill until early next year, and there will be no age restrictions on sales.
This has long been true in many other nations; you could buy hormonal birth control over the counter. But not here.
Actions tend to produce necessary reactions. In this case, getting rid of Roe produced this. And wherever you might stand on the abortion issue I find it hard to argue that preventing fertilization, which this pill does, is somehow inferior to an abortion by any means whatsoever, whether medication or otherwise.
