ALBANY, N.Y. - State senators approved legislation that allows girls and women to more easily obtain a morning-after pill from pharmacists, midwives and nurses, despite opposition from lawmakers who likened the emergency contraception to abortion. The measure ? which passed Wednesday 34-27 ? would allow girls and women to obtain the medication without a physician's visit or prescription and without parental consent regardless of the patient's age. |
