If the Abortion Pill: Why Not Most Drugs?
The Supreme Court seems likely to allow an abortion pill to be available over-the-counter, instead of requiring a prescription.
I am a committed opponent of the FDA: I hate that patients are not allowed to make our own decisions when it comes to medication (but we are encouraged to do so in all kinds of less-healthy ways, “natural” drugs and behaviors, including promiscuity). And so I wonder… is there a silver lining to be had here? Might the government allowing patients to self-prescribe certain drugs without a doctor’s prescription be extended to allow many more on the same legal basis?
