A U.S. District Judge Edward Korman in Brooklyn, NY, ruled the refusal by the FDA to remove age limits for the Plan B One Step morning after contraceptive pill had been "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable,". He ordered that the "morning after" birth control pill be made freely available to girls of all ages without a prescription.
