Feds May Approve Over-The-Counter Sales of Morning After Pill

I wonder if the President approves of this:
The government is considering allowing over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill, but only to women 18 and older. The surprise move Monday revives efforts to widen access to the emergency contraceptive almost a year after it was thought doomed.

The Food and Drug Administration notified manufacturer Barr Laboratories Inc. early Monday that it wanted to meet within seven days to iron out new steps the company must take in its three-year battle to sell the pill, called Plan B, without a prescription to at least some women.

Given President Bush's veto of the Stem Cell Research bill, I wonder if he'll intervene in the FDA's apparent decision to make abortion pills available over-the-counter?
