So if you're on the pill the accidents happen and rape excused don't fly.

I was wondering the same thing...why not just take the pill in the first place? But whatever.

This will not come without a fight -many groups are already looking to fight this.

Of course Planned Parenthood is also fighting - to get unlimited access. I gotta say - are they EVER happy. I'm sorry but as much as I believe in choice I don't think this should be readily available to minors.
It's been available to rape victims for years. I completely agree with everything you've said. We have the choice to prevent pregnancy BEFORE we have sex. Maybe it will help in cases of incest, etc but I doubt it because a girl who gets pregnant by a relative is probably not going to get to the doctor the day after.

Edit: I am totally pro-choice- I just think that women should be more responsible in PREVENTING pregnancy.
