    Plenty of information exists to validate the concerns of those opposed to the Plan B pill being readily available without a prescription to women as young as fifteen. The Director of Pro-Life Action League states that allowing Plan B to continue being sold over the counter to young girls encourages promiscuity and does not only invite them, but older men who often prey on them, to engage in sexual behavior (Scheidler A.12). In addition, Scheidler goes on to state that critics argue women, especially teenagers, will substitute Plan B for other types of birth control measures, such as condoms. This in turn will increase the rate of sexually transmitted diseases. Dr. Hanna Klaus, an obstetrician-gynecologist, cited the increased chlamydia and…

The macro level is interested in scientifically stopping pregnancy by providing women with an emergency contraceptive that can stop fertilization from occurring (Haase, 2016, p. 15).

    Donna Harrison, a physician and director of the American Association of Pro – Life Obstetricians, said “unchecked access to birth control could be detrimental to some women and teens”, because not every female reacts to birth control the same way (Breitenbach). According to Harrison, teens should have a doctor that will advocate for them because having that interaction with them is important. Even though giving out birth control may be risking to some patients, Piage Clark thinks differently. She pushes more on the idea that there shouldn’t be any boundaries between the patient and birth control. According to American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Oral Contraceptives Over the Counter Working Group, believe that birth control should be available over the counter just like the emergency pill because they say that it meets the standard of the FDA.…
