WASHINGTON The government is moving the morning-after pill over the counter
but only those 15 and older can buy it -- an attempt
to find middle ground just days before a court-imposed deadline to lift
all age restrictions on the emergency contraceptive.Today, Plan B One-Step
is sold behind pharmacy counters, and buyers must prove they're 17 or
older to buy it without a prescription. Tuesday's decision by the Food
and Drug Administration lowers the age limit and will allow the pill
to sit on drugstore shelves next to spermicides or other women's health
products and condoms -- but anyone who wants to buy it must
prove their age at the cash register.Some contraceptive advocates called
the move promising."This decision is a step in the right direction for
increased access to a product that is a safe and effective method
of preventing unintended pregnancies," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. "It's
also a decision that moves us closer to these critical availability decisions
being based on science, not politics."But earlier this month, U.S. District
Judge Edward Korman of New York blasted the Obama administration for imposing
the age-17 limit, saying it had let election-year politics trump science
and was making it hard for women of any age to obtain
the emergency contraception in time. He ordered an end to the age
restrictions by Monday.The women's group that sued over the age limits said
Tuesday's action is not enough, and it will continue

letter "s'' on the word "accounts."President Barack Obama is expected to
sign the bill quickly.Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the senior Republican on
the Senate Commerce Committee, said he met with LaHood on Thursday and
spoke with him again the following day about the legislation. "I think
his expectation is there is enough money and enough flexibility for him
to" keep the towers open and end the furloughs of FAA employees,
the South Dakotan said in a telephone interview."I would expect him to
address that based on the discussions that took place."He added that when
he and Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W. Va., met last week with LaHood
and FAA administration Michael Huerta, "it was understood they would take
care of both of those issues if we gave them the money."
Other officials said LaHood had provided similar assurances, although they
spoke on condition of anonymity because they lacked authority to be quoted
by name.A spokesman for LaHood said the department was reviewing the legislation
and will make a decision about the towers.The impetus for the legislation
was private pressure from the airlines whose business was disrupted by air
traffic furloughs, coupled with public outrage from travelers who were forced
to endure delays.But political calculations also figured into a mini-drama
that resulted in the bill's passage late last week, as Obama and
Republicans continue to blame one another for the inconvenienc
