I think the appeal is in order, to be honest.

I don't think this drug should be administered without a prescription to anyone, let alone a minor. There are too many possibilities for complications.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?

Doubling down on a political mistake... dumb!

Justice Dept. to Appeal Ruling Against Age Limits for Morning-After Pill

The Department of Justice said Wednesday that it would appeal a federal judge¹s order to make the most common morning-after pill available without a prescription for all ages.

In a scathing opinion handed down three weeks ago, Judge Edward R. Korman of the Eastern District of New York said the Obama administration had put politics before science in restricting access to the drug.

The Justice Department’s decision to appeal was likely based not only on the substance of the judge’s ruling, but also the precedent the ruling would set in countermanding an order by a White House cabinet member, Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services.
