The morning after pill has been on the market for, what, decades?

Aren't its "health effects" well documented by now?

Exactly.  It has already been approved for over-the-counter use by the real-life FDA, and by most other western governments.

There are essentially no health risks with one-time, or irregular use of emergency contraception.

We are now voting on the following amendment:

Quote from: Sam Spade on October 06, 2007, 01:42:57 PM
I motion for an amendment to add a new section (5) to this bill with the following language:

5.  The Federal Government shall fund $5 million to the Department of Health to study the health effects of the morning-after pill over time on women who have used the morning-after pill more than once during their lifetime.

Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.


Aye.
