    "Birth control medication is already available over-the-counter in Oregon, California and Washington, D.C. More than 20 states have statutes that allow pharmacies to dispense FDA-approved hormonal contraceptives without the need for a prescription, per a statement from the Arizona Department of Health Services.

    At the federal level, the Food and Drug Administration has endorsed the over-the-counter drug Opill, saying the risks of unintended pregnancy far outweighed any risks associated with the drug."

    Apparently it’s already OK’ed by the FDA. I did not know this prior.
