health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius says that women under the age of 17 run the risk of of using plan b as a regular form of birth control. that usage would drastically increase hormone levels in women, increasing the risk of infertility and cancer. >> okay. so much for the health and human services cabinet of president obama. now we have the food and drug administration, the fda, which is independent, unlike health and human services. the fda rules that plan b should be sold to women under 17 years of age, without a prescription. that ruling of the fda was overruled by the white house in an unprecedented decision. mr. obama said that notwithstanding the food and drug administration, the plan b may not be sold to any woman under the age of unless they have a prescription. question, did the secretary of health and human services, kathleen sebelius, tee up this whole hhs versus fda clash as a -- for mr. obama to vet out of the stadium? in other words, sebelius versed the fda and mr. obama got to make a conservative values statement to connect with parents that want wome

>> i'm not going to try to get into the president or kathleen sebelius's mind. i don't know what motivated the decision and we were surprised as well as everybody else. according to the centers for disease control, half of the people in the nation who have an std are young people under the age of 25. it is not good medical practice for those young people to remove from them medical screening. it's common sense and good public health sense for young people who are sexually active to interface with a medical professional. if a young woman has a sexually transmitted disease and it goes undiagnosed because she has not interacted with a medical professional, she could have lifelong ramifications from that. >> you talked about the barriers in women as politics. you think it is politics and some people say the administration took hits when it said if you're going to be part of the new health care program, those plans have to offer contraception for free. some people see this as the tradeoff trying to reach back out to people in the middle. is that the way the system wo

this was a decision made by kathleen sebelius, the secretary of hhs. i will say this as the father of two daughters. i think it is important for us to make sure that we apply some common sense to various rules when it comes to over-the-counter medicine, and as i understand it, the reason kathleen made this decision was she could not be confident that a 10-year-old or an 11-year-old going to a drugstore should be able alongside bubble gum or batteries, be able to buy a medication that potentially if not used properly could end up having an adverse effect, and i think most parent would probably feel the same way. so you know, the expectation here is i think it's very important to understand that for women, for those over 17, this continues to be something that you can go in and purchase from a drugstore. it has been deemed safe by the fda. nobody's challenging that. when it comes to 12-year-olds or 13-year-olds, the question is, can we have confidence that they would potentially use plan b properly, and her judgment was that there was not enough evidence
