Medical need? Nope. Fewer side effects than aspirin. Already OTC in many countries. Doctors groups basically admit that the only reason they can give to keep as a prescription is that it is a good idea to have an annual exam and this forces these exams to happen. We say NO to this idea.
Costly? Yes. The exam costs more than the prescription. Just reduce the total cost to women by making them OTC.
Culture wars? At the moment, these become part of the culture wars. Remove that irritant by making these OTC.
Summary: there is no valid reason to keep them prescription and good reasons to make them OTC.
