 WASHINGTON (AP) - Wider but still restricted access to the morning-after pill may not have the dramatic effect on unintended pregnancy and abortion rates touted by some advocates, reproductive health experts say.
Expanded access should spur increased sales of the pills, called Plan B, but it probably won't have a major public health impact, they said Friday.
"That doesn't mean zero, but it will be hard to measure because it will be so small," said James Trussell, director of the Office of Population Research at Princeton University. "If you look at the number of acts of unprotected intercourse on one hand, and the use of Plan B on the other, it's like a cork on the ocean."
