Hello to all.

I thought it might be useful to share here a link to what has developed, on the Forums, into a mature and useful discourse among adults and young people on the matter of the emergency contraceptive, known as Plan B, being withheld from over-the-counter status for girls under 17 in the United States.  The decision is controversial because it seems to have been taken unilaterally, and because it has been taken on the advent of an election year, but most importantly, because of what it says about the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' unfortunate approach to both education and options where sexually active youngsters are concerned.
