Regarding The Associated Press story "Block of OTC morning-after pill sparks outrage" (Dec. 8 and TribLIVE.com): Better, Mr. President, to let girls under 17 get pregnant than to let them get an over-the-counter pill that the Food and Drug Administration has carefully studied and determined safe? This is the first time in history that an FDA decision on drug approval has been overruled by the Department of Health and Human Services.

It is sold under the brand name Rogaine.
