- The FDA lowered the age limit this week (to 15) for emergency contraception and gave Plan B the green light to sit on drugstore shelves (instead of behind the pharmacist’s counter).
- Wednesday was May Day, also known as International Workers Day. Seattle’s The Stranger is attempting to focus a little more on the actual goals of the “family-friendly immigrant and workers’ rights march” vs. how many windows were broken.
