"Easy access to a morning after pill for contraception does not influence the degree to which women have unprotected sex."

You can read a news story about the study in Yahoo! News.

Opponents to widening availability for the morning after pill allege that we'd have a lot more "sluts" walking among us if women had easier access. More unmarried sex is bad for society you know. This study proved them wrong anyway. Opponents will have to fall back on the "it kills a living being" argument, which has also been proven false. The morning after pill uses the same mechanism of prevention of conception as birth control pills.

I hope this will lead to more intelligent legislative choices on the matter, although with the current population in Washington, I doubt it. I wonder if Drew will mention it tonight on the air.
