Making such obviously incorrect statements as this does not further your cause.

Obviously incorrect? Says who, you?

High school girls--and boys--can buy and take all the aspirin they want, without having to get permission from their parents.

. The policy in the high school in my town is no drugs without permission. I know because I signed the permission sheets when my girls were in high school.

I also never claimed that high school girls and boys could not buy or consume aspirin without permission from their parents.

But thanks for the advice on how to "further my cause".

Of course you could have commented on the desirability of making high dose birth control pills available over the counter to young girls and guys but the hubris clouded your vision.

SHould read:

I also never claimed that high school girls and boys could not buy or consume aspirin without permission from their parents outside of the school.

Here is exactly what you said:
From my vantage point, making this available over the counter absent age requirements is as extreme as it gets. High school girls can not take an aspirin without permission from the parents.

You explicitly attempted to compare the lack of age requirements for the morning-after pill with the need for high school girls to get parental permission to take an aspirin. Those are two completely different circumstances. There was nothing in the FDA advisory panel's "extreme" decision that said girls could take the morning-after pill without parental permission while at school.
