Morning-after pill sees large popularity since release

The controversial 'morning after' pill intended for emergency birth control has done quite well on the market in the year since its release, selling an estimated $80 million in over-the-counter sales since the non-prescription drug was approved in November 2006.

Still, there are critics on moral and safety grounds who still continue to fight the ruling that made the product available to anyone with cash and local pharmacy. Does the drug have a chance of being taken off the market or being made into a prescription-only drug? In my estimation, not likely. That is, until someone gets ill or dies from side effects.

Do you think the morning-after pill should remain stocked on store shelves? Different moral points of view are sure to invite disagreement on that one even outside safety issues (if there are any).
