I agree with needlenose, except, Plan B won't eliminate the need for abortion. Just as an example, some women who want a child will need abortions when they find out -- well past the horizon of Plan B's effectiveness -- that the fetus they're carrying has birth defects. Some women will find out -- well past the horizon of Plan B's effectiveness -- that their partner doesn't really want a child or has been cheating on them or just got killed in Iraq.
So I'm hugely happy to have Plan B available and I believe everyone needs to keep a few doses in their medicine cabinet, just as they'd keep aspirin, band aids, hydrogen peroxide, and an ace bandage.
But we still need to fight for abortions.
