The morning after pill has been over the counter in Britain for five years now; you'd think we would have heard something if that were the case.

No, we wouldn't. Britain has a "loser pays" system that greatly discourages frivolous/unjust lawsuits. The first few victims of the drug would probably lose their cases (just as anti-tobacco suits failed for decades here in the U.S.) and have to pay court costs for the drugstore.

You don't know that to be the case, you're just positing a "what if".
