Perils are many of 'morning-after' pill

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the sale of the "morning-after" pill without a prescription to people as young as 17. Parents should be very angry that a federal agency is putting their daughters at great health risk. This is a complete disregard of parental rights and the safety of minors. Keep in mind that a girl cannot get an aspirin in high school without parental consent, but she can get the "morning-after" pill without their knowledge. There is no research on what side effects this drug might have on a woman's health, and what if it is used multiple times? Some may rely on this pill as a regular form of birth control because it is easy to obtain. Will this pill encourage more premarital sex?
