"Zive, the 45-year-old owner of an independent drugstore in the New York City borough, said he will ask for identification to make sure buyers are at least 18, the minimum set by the Food and Drug Administration for women wishing to buy the white tablets without a doctor's order.

Druggists throughout the U.S. now must decide whether to go along with the less-restricted sales of the drug, the center of a debate between advocates of easier-to-obtain birth control and people who say it promotes teenage promiscuity. The FDA ruling means retailers selling the pills will have to police the sales."
