a year later, neither side in the contraception
debate was happy with the FDA's surprise twist, which many perceived as
an attempt to find a palatable middle ground between imposing an age
limit of 17 and imposing no limit at all.Any over-the-counter access marks
a long-awaited change, but it's not enough, said Dr. Cora Breuner of
the American Academy of Pediatrics, which supports nonprescription sale
of the morning-after pill for all ages."We still have the major issue,
which is our teen pregnancy rate is still too high," Breuner said.Even
though few young girls likely would use Plan B, which costs about
$50 for a single pill, "we know that it is safe for
those under 15," she said.Most 17- to 19-year-olds are sexually active,
and 30 percent of 15- and 16-year-olds have had sex, according to
a study published last month by the journal Pediatrics. Sex is much
rarer among younger teens. Likewise, older teens have a higher pregnancy
rate, but that study also counted more than 110,000 pregnancies among 15-
and 16-year-olds in 2008 alone.Contraception advocates see a double standard.
No one is carded when buying a condom, but under the FDA's
decision they would have to prove their age when buying a pill
to prevent pregnancy if that condom breaks."This isn't a compromise. This
is wrong," said Cynthia Pearson of the National Women's Health Network.Social
conservatives were outraged by the FDA's move to lower the age limits
for Plan B -- as w

state speech to the Florida legislature in Tallahassee.APTALLAHASSEE, Fla.
Gov. Rick Scott vetoed a bill late Wednesday that would have
ended permanent alimony in Florida.Scott vetoed the measure (SB 718) just
four hours before the midnight deadline to approve or veto it. The
bill automatically would have become law if Scott had done nothing by
then.If it had become law, Florida would have become the fifth state
to abolish permanent alimony.In a letter to Senate President Don Gaetz,
Scott commended bill sponsors Ritch Workman in the House and Kelli Stargel
in the Senate -- both Republicans -- and said there are "several
forward looking elements of this bill."But alimony "represents an important
remedy for our judiciary to use in providing support to families as
they adjust to changes in life circumstances," Scott wrote. "As a husband,
father and grandfather, I understand the vital importance of family."Scott
could not "support this legislation because it applies retroactively and
thus tampers with the settled economic expectations of many Floridians who
have experienced divorce," he wrote. "The retroactive adjustment of alimony
could result in unfair, unanticipated results."Florida law "already provides
for the adjustment of alimony under the proper circumstances," Scott wrote.
"The law also ensures that spouses who have sacrificed their careers to
raise a family do not s
