WASHINGTON – President Obama said that he supported the Department of Health and Human Services superseding on Thursday an FDA decision to allow an emergency morning-after contraceptive pill to be sold to girls younger than 17 without a prescription.

I did not get involved in the process," Obama said during a White House news conference but added that "as the father of two daughters," he supported HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' decision, which activists, doctors and scientists have criticized as political.
