I'm seeing a lot of celebration about the gov't removing its appeal to prohibit Plan B One Step and while the move is a good thing, it is important to remember that the Justice Dept has no plans to remove its appeal of Judge Korman's ruling of Plan B the more affordable two-pill generic version to females under the age of seventeen.
More below the squigly:
I priced Plan B One Step at Walgreen's online and found it for $49.99. How many teens do we think will have that kind of cash lying around? Very few. Given this as their only option, I think they will be forced to play roulette.
We must keep up the pressure to make the more affordable Plan B generic available to those under the age of seventeen. Every day it is not we are placing these girls health at risk.
