<\/div>

Edward Korman, a federal judge in New York City, has ordered the U.S. government to allow the sale of Plan B One-Step over the counter to women and girls of any age. Lila Rose, President and founder of Live Action, released the following statement:<\/p>\n

Selling a self-administered home-abortion pill over the counter to young girls, without even basic involvement of a parent or doctor, is the equivalent of selling guns off the shelf to any minor. The decision by a New York City judge ordering Plan B One-Step, an abortifacient with unknown risks and the power to kill, to be available over the counter, to anyone of any age, flouts both medical prudence and plain common sense.<\/p>\n

Even pro-abortion Secretary Sebelius and the present administration recognize that the severity of the risks of Plan B are unknown, especially for young girls. Widespread and unregulated exposure to untested abortifacient drugs puts pre-born children at huge risk as well.<\/p>\n

Forcibly excluding parents and doctors\u00a0from decisions with profound implications for children\u2019s health can only spell disaster for teens and pre-teens in our country. Judge Korman\u2019s decision shows contempt for every established medical safety protocol, and it should therefore be overturned immediately.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the New York Times<\/em>, Korman accused<\/a> the federal government of acting in “bad faith” by requiring a Plan B prescription for girls under seventeen years old. The Justice Department is currently reviewing Korman’s opinion and had no more to say on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
