Emergency contraception is safe when taken properly, so the government has no right to place restrictions on it. Those that aren't old enough to consent to sex obviously shouldn't need the pill, but there are unfortunate circumstances in which it may be their only hope. It's ridiculous that a young girl who's been raped should have to have an abortion or worse, carry out a pregnancy when she isn't physically or mentally capable. Placing restrictions on birth control or abortions endangers women. The girl in Indianapolis who had to have an unsafe, illegal abortion is only one example. The pills alter a person's body and the buyer needs to be aware of any possible health risks, but banning the pill for minors isn't fair.
