FDA approves morning-after pill without prescription for girls 15 and older

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that it approved the availability of the Plan B One-Step emergency contraception pill without a prescription for women 15 and older."

So a 15 year old is not mature enough to get a drivers license, buy a gun, vote, buy cigarettes, or alcohol but is mature enough to make birth control choices without a doctor or a parents consent? I dont think these is a correct decision that the government is doing because is destroying society. Girls now are going to be more free to have relationship with men since a young age and there is where they get many deceases they encounter in the future. Been in Law Enforcement for 20 years, its illegal to have sex at that age. And the parents can be charged with numerous felonies for allowing it or not reporting it. Unfortunately each time the pill is needed, that was unprotected intercourse and a risk for getting an STD. How many of these teens will follow up with a chlamydia check. Untreated it can be present for years and lead to infertility when these kids finally are ready for families. The pill can also fail. How many will assume it worked and it lead to a complication later? How many know their medical histories to know if they have contraindications? And given the price, for the teens this is targeted towards, how many will really buy it? One can buy 1 month of birth control pills for less, so why are a few pills much more expensive? This really sounds like a win for the pharmaceutical industry taking advantage of kids in distress. We really need to think about all this things and if they are affecting us or helping us in a way!
