At his press conference, this morning President Bush indicated he supported the over-the-counter sale of the morning-after pill.

Here’s the transcript:

Last question. Stretch. Who are you working for, Stretch?

Q Washington Examiner.

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, good. Glad you found work. (Laughter.)

Q Thank you very much. Mr. President, some pro-life groups are worried that your choice of FDA Commissioner will approve over the counter sales of Plan B, a pill that, they say, essentially can cause early-term abortions. Do you stand by this choice, and how do you feel about Plan B in general?

THE PRESIDENT: I believe that Plan B ought to be — ought to require a prescription for minors, is what I believe. And I support Andy’s decision.

Thanks for letting me come by the new digs here. They may be a little too fancy for you.

Q We’d be happy to go back.

Q Are we coming back?

THE PRESIDENT: Absolutely, you’re coming back.

Q Can we hold you to that?

"Andy" = FDA Commissioner Dr. Andrew Von Eschenbach
