Barack Obama with daughters Malia Ann and Natasha

Talk to U.S. law giving the right to purchase non-prescription medicines for the so-called emergency contraception, is coming to an end. In all likelihood, the sale will be legalized - and for people of any age. U.S. President Barack Obama, is actively opposing the bill, however, did not give up. Not so long ago, the administration of President supported the decision of the Ministry of Justice to appeal the court order authorizing the freely without consulting a doctor and without a prescription, sell the drug to women of all ages, including - and girls under 15 years old.

For several years, speaking out against Barack Obama operates in that he is the father of two teenage daughters (Natasha - 15, and Malia Ann - 12), and worried about their health:

I speak as a father of two daughters, when it comes to drugs and their use, it is important to be sure of safety.

Thus the president considers himself to most American parents:

I understand that passing this law, we can not be sure that the pharmacy for the drug, which could seriously harm your health, do not go 10-year-old or 11-year-old child who will buy it together with chewing gum. I think most parents would agree with me.

His conservative thesis "every woman - someone's daughter" are impressed, but not all. Among the dissenters - feminist organizations insist on the right of free choice for women in all spheres of life:

We know that the President sympathizes with strong independent women - heck, he's married to Michelle Obama, is not it? But while the president and first lady did not believe in the wisdom of their own daughters and do not want to give the right to make independent decisions Natasha and Malia, for whom - and all the other American teenage girls.

On this Obama a clear answer:
Father know best.
Indeed, on the one hand, since we are talking about protection from pregnancy at random, unplanned sex, you need to make the drug as accessible as possible. It is effective if it is taken in a short time after intercourse (no wonder drug in the United States called the "pill" the next morning "), especially in such cases, it is difficult to quickly visit a doctor to write a prescription. On the other hand - it is of the potent hormonal agents, calling a woman a failure cycle and premature bleeding. uncontrolled use of the drug can cause serious problems for the female body.

It should be noted that the confrontation is visible prospect of benefit manufacturers of contraceptives, which the availability of the drug on hand women of all ages without restrictions. On the other hand, there are many cases when it passed a full cycle of clinical studies and derived products to the market has to withdraw due identified in the mass application of negative effects.

How will this "fight" - is still unknown, because the tough debate between supporters and opponents of the free sale of the drug did not subside.
