Obviously it's a Yay! from me, but I wonder if it will actually make any difference. I admit ignorance on the way your legal system works, but I guess if 9 States had already legalised it, then surely if the others wanted to they would have? I also seem to remember something on TV that suggested while abortion is legal, one State (one of the Dakotas maybe?) now had no Doctors willing to perform the procedure, and in fact the only willing Doctor covered 3 States and was about to retire. This is from memory, but am pretty sure that was the case.
The only other comment I can make is that I don't think statistics bear out the assumption the morning after pill reduces teenage pregnancy. Again, I may be wrong, but my PCT has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the country and as stated before we were running a free of charge OTC service... EHC mops up after responsible people who worry about unsafe sex and whether they are pregnant. [generalisation] That doesn't seem to include most teenage mothers. [/generalisation]
I say get them all fitted with a 3 year implant. I'm only half joking (I have one myself)
