WASHINGTON The Obama administration on Wednesday appealed a federal judge's
order to lift all age limits on who can buy morning-after birth
control pills without a prescription.In appealing the ruling, the administration
recommitted itself to a position Obama took during his re-election campaign
that younger teens shouldn't have unabated access to emergency contraceptives,
despite the insistence by physicians groups and much of his Democratic base
that the pill should be readily available.A day earlier, the Food and
Drug Administration lowered the age that people can buy the Plan B
One-Step morning-after pill without a prescription to 15 -- younger than
the current limit of 17 -- and decided that the pill could
be sold on drugstore shelves near the condoms, instead of locked behind
pharmacy counters.That decision appeared to fly in the face of a judge's
decision last month that women of any age should be allowed to
buy both Plan B and its cheaper generic competition as easily as
they can buy aspirin. U.S. District Judge Edward Korman of New York
gave the FDA 30 days to comply, and the Monday deadline was
approaching fast, prompting the administration on Wednesday to ask the court
to put the ruling on hold while it reconsiders.With the appeal, the
Obama administration is making clear that it's willing to ease access to
emergency contraception only a certain amount -- not nearly as broadly as
doctors' groups and contraception advocates h
FRANKFURT, Germany The European Central Bank and its president, Mario Draghi,
have played a key role in fighting the government debt crisis afflicting
the 17 European Union member countries that use the euro.The ECB is
the issuer of the euro currency and serves as the top monetary
authority for the eurozone and its 333 million people.Some of its key
steps have been:LOWER INTEREST RATES: The ECB has cut its key interest
rate four times since Draghi become president. This month the ECB lowered
the so-called main refinancing rate further by a quarter-point to a record
low of 0.5 percent.The refinancing rate is what the bank charges on
the credit it offers to eurozone banks and thereby influences interest rates
on the loans banks provide to each other, businesses and consumers. Theoretically,
a lower rate means cheaper borrowing costs and more incentive to borrow
money and expand a business. In practice, a slack economy has meant
weak demand for loans.UNLIMITED BOND BUYS: In 2012, high borrowing costs
were threatening to push indebted countries such as Italy and Spain into
a financial collapse that could have broken up the euro.Draghi took a
major step toward calming the eurozone crisis by announcing last year that
"within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes
to preserve the euro."The ECB followed through on Sept. 6 by offering
to purchase unlimited amounts of bonds issued by heavily indebted countries,
lowering their bor
