According to The NY Times Obama, as well as Kathleen Sebelius (Obama's secretary), is putting restrictions on the availablity of the morning-after pill formerly known as Plan B. President Obama states,“The reason Kathleen made this decision is that she could not be confident that a 10-year-old or an 11-year-old going to a drugstore should be able — alongside bubble gum or batteries — be able to buy a medication that potentially, if not used properly, could have an adverse effect”. He then adds,“And I think most parents would probably feel the same way”.
I agree with what Obama says because if it weren't for age restrictions teenagers would try to buy PlanB; it would be dangerous for them to use so the restrictions were much needed. Young teens or teens period shouldn't need to use PlanB anyway so maybe they could learn from their actions and the outcomes later on in life.
