A federal judge has ordered the FDA to make the so-called "morning-after pill" available over the counter to girls regardless of how old they are. 

The ruling in federal court in Brooklyn changes the order that now requires girls 16 and under to have a prescription.

The purpose of the morning-after pill is for emergency contraception. It prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex.
