Anna Glasier neglects to mention that the price of over-the-counter
emergency contraception is an effective barrier to its use, discriminating
in particular against women on lower incomes.
To suggest that the "fuss" over political ideology and religious
belief interfering in rational decisions over the licensing of medications
is of interest to only one or two individuals is extraordinary.
Few people interested in reducing termination of pregnancy rates
would argue against greater investment in the provision of effective and
convenient contraception.
