The Massachusetts state legislature has smacked down Governor Mitt Romney's veto of bill to allow emergency contraception to be sold over-the-counter.

"Not only was his veto irresponsible, his argument was based on weak and misguided information," said Senator Pamela P. Resor, an Acton Democrat.

Right on. Massachusetts is now the eighth state to allow pharmacists to dispense EC without a doctor's prescription. As an added bonus, the new law also requires hospitals to offer EC to rape victims.
