Felt very irony while discovery this headline at Reuters; which sound like this " FDA slightly eases access to morning-after pill".
After reading this article, I felt even irony about this issue when there is a paragraph that sounds like this
The FDA on Wednesday said it would allow nonprescription access to 17-year-olds as soon as it received necessary information from the drug's maker, Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc, now part of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
"The government will not appeal this decision," the FDA said in a statement on its website.
Women's health advocates cheered the FDA's decision, with some adding that access should be loosened even more, to allow shelf sales without age restrictions. They along with company officials argue it is critical for women to have quick access to the drug, which aims to prevent pregnancy when used within 24 hours of sexual intercourse.
I felt irony because previously lots of people are against the use of human papilloma virus vaccine injection to pre-teen of the age 11 years old. The main reason for this is their concern of the increase in sexual activity which promotes promiscuity among teen.
Irony, and I will read more about this issue......
