The military will start making available the morning-after pill, which prevents the fertilized egg from attaching to the womb, thus killing the embryo:<\/p>\n

The Department of Defense will begin making the morning-after pill Plan B available at all of its hospitals and health clinics around the world, officials announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

The decision came after a recommendation by the Pentagon\u2019s Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, an advisory panel that voted in November to include Plan B and the generic Next Choice on the list of drugs all military facilities should stock. The Pentagon accepted the recommendation Feb. 3, a spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

The decision is the latest the Obama administration has made reversing politically sensitive policies involving women\u2019s health that were implemented during President George W. Bush\u2019s administration. Previously, the Obama administration has announced that it was rescinding a federal regulation that would have expanded the ability of health-care workers to refuse to provide medical care they found morally objectionable, including abortion and Plan B; has lifted federal restrictions on human embryonic stem cell research; and has restored funding to international family-planning groups.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
