A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel is recommending the agency allow a birth control pill to be available over the counter in the United States. "The panel came to the decision after a two-day public meeting mostly centered on if people could safely and effectively take the birth control drug Opill without professional supervision," per USA Today. "Experts on the panel said they were confident they could, and the benefits of making the pill more widely available far outweigh any risks."
