Gov. Rod Blagojevich announced last week that he’ll make EC available over-the-counter even if the FDA doesn’t. “Plan B is a safe and tested form of emergency contraception, and women deserve access to it,� he said in a press release.

His opponent in the upcoming election, Republican Judy Baar Topinka, says she supports the sale of EC without a prescription--but only to women of a certain age. Yawn.

You may remember that Gov. Blagojevich has already shown support for EC by requiring pharmacists in his state to fill women’s prescriptions--even if their “conscience� doesn’t want them to. (You know, the kind of conscience that says premarital sex is for whores.)
