Irresponsible behavior is going to happen either way. And people really dont need an excuse, it is a choice.

obviously you don't know how much the usual birth control pill costs per month. 
I know what you meant though. I'm just being a pain.
If you're paying more than $10 you're getting ripped off. And you can always go to Planned Parenthood (provided they're in your area) and get them for free.

I think the offering of this OTC is a good thing, though I disagree with requiring it to be behind the pharmacists counter and having to be sold at pharmacies.

The issue I have is that people should be able to buy this anonymously, not ask a pharmacist for it.

My issue is that minors will not buy it...they will steal it because it is there...and then everything else goes up in price...
you afraid you may need it but don't want to go into somewhere you frequent often...go to another Pharmacy that you would not go to.....
People suck.

Yeah but these kids don't think like that. High school kids wear a social-defensive shield bigger than He-man's, that to this day, I never understood (why I did it myself)
IMO if my imaginary kid were caught with them, I'd give her nothing but praise. In my eyes she's doing the right thing- how old she'd be when she first bought them would make me weary- that is what would truly worry me, really.
Mandating people be a certain age to buy these pills effectively causes the opposite of their purpose in the first place. Young people are still going to have sex, unprotected perhaps, because it is still new to them. Laws will never change that.

The pills were not made 18+ solely for political reasons, but also due to concerns of the hormone's impact on adolescents has not been studied well enough yet.
I think there are other ways to make something hard to steal, having worked in retail. A larger package with alarms would be a start.
