I should clarify. I certainly don't think that anyone else should dictate who needs EC. That would lead to all sorts of abuses (much like the ones mentioned in the article, in which the doctors got to make their own decisions about to whom the pill would be given.) I just think that if people can just pick up EC whenever they need it with no inconvenience, it could be a way to justify irresponsible sex. Obviously, there are loads of people out there that wouldn't act that way. I think I am mostly worried about teens and less responsible young adults. Then again, those types are probably already having unsafe sex without EC.

I only read the salon.com article, so perhaps I misjudged BB's comments about the fetus.
