Earlier this month, two advisory panels to the Food and Drug Administration recommended that a form of emergency contraception be available over-the-counter. The pill marketed as "Plan B" -- and widely known as the "morning after" pill -- is intended to reduce a woman's chance of pregnancy after having unprotected sex. It is currently available by prescription. Dr. Jon Hallberg is medical director of the Primary Care Center at the University of Minnesota. He says making the pills available over-the-counter would increase access to emergency contraception, especially on weekends and holidays when getting in to see a doctor is difficult.
