President Obama said Thursday he was comfortable with his administration's
decision to allow over-the-counter purchases of a morning-after pill for
anyone 15 and older.The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday had lowered
the age at which people can buy the Plan B One-Step morning-after
pill without a prescription to 15 - younger than the current limit
of 17. The FDA decided that the pill could be sold on
drugstore shelves near condoms, instead of locked behind pharmacy counters.Obama,
speaking at a news conference while in Mexico, said the FDA's decision
was based on "solid scientific evidence."What's still unclear is whether
the administration will prevail on its appeal of a court order that
would lift all age limits on purchasers of the pill.That decision to
appeal set off a storm of criticism from reproductive rights groups, who
denounced it as politically motivated and a step backward for women's health."We
are profoundly disappointed. This appeal takes away the promise of all women
having timely access to emergency contraception," Susannah Baruch, Interim
President & CEO of the Reproductive Health Technologies Project, said in
a statement late Wednesday."It is especially troubling in light of the Food
and Drug Administration's move yesterday to continue age restrictions and
ID requirements, despite a court order to make emergency contraception accessible
for women of all ages. Both announcements, particularly in tandem, highlight
awmakers are pushing to renew the subsidy.The Forest Service
issue provides one look at the real-world fallout of sequestration, which
began March 1 after Congress and President Barack Obama failed to agree
on a deficit-cutting plan. Forced to find the required savings in the
wobbly aftermath of recession, federal officials are getting creative --
reducing hours at courthouses, furloughing employees and cutting back services.
The full impact of sequestration remains unclear because most of the reductions
have yet to take effect.Ryan Yates of the National Association of Counties
said state and local officials understand that sequestration is the law
of the land and that future cuts to scores of federal programs
are inevitable. But there is widespread concern that the Forest Service's
action means that the sequestration's reach is far greater than they anticipated."This
retroactive move by the administration to squeeze more money from rural
forest communities is not only legally questionable, but insults the longstanding
relationship between counties and the federal government," Yates said.Tidwell's
March letters to the governors incited lawmakers and state officials, who
said the payments came from revenues generated in the 2012 budget year
and were therefore not subject to sequestration.The National Governors'
Association advised governors to consult closely with their legal staffs
before making a decision."No one has ever heard of an age
