There are few topics as controversial as Plan B, also known as "the morning-after pill" -- at least in the U.S. In fact, it can even be difficult to track the pill down at your local pharmacy. But in the UK, it’s much easier. According to How About We, a new service will let women order Plan B online and then have a messenger service deliver the pills to them.
If you've ever had an, er, emergency, you know how alarming it can be. Which is why How About We thinks the notion of delivering Plan B to your doorstep is genius. "It's scary enough to cope with something like a broken condom without having to deal with insurance issues or problems finding a pharmacy with Plan B in stock," they say.
Plan B is also known as "emergency contraception." According to the drug's website, the sooner you take it, the better it works. When taken as directed -- within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure -- approximately 7 out of 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant.
Plan B uses the same ingredient found in many birth control pills, levonorgestrel, to help prevent pregnancy from happening. It is not an abortion pill, and it won't work if you're already pregnant. So ... should it be "delivered" in the U.S.?

People should go thru the hard steps of getting the pill because than they think twice about being stupid.
.... why do the steps need to be hard? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in regards to birth control.
It should be cheap, efficient, and available to EVERYONE - rich or poor or just plain broke - the easiest way possible - delivered or behind the counter.
After all, it's that or abortion. Pick your poison.
And yes, I work in a pharmacy.
"Should women be allowed to order contraception such as Plan B online?"
OR
"Should plan B be delivered to your door ... by a scantily-clad maiden with long flowing black hair riding a unicorn?"
In those cases, my answer would be a resounding YES!
That's exactly what the above question means. Like I said, English mustn't be your first language if you didn't get that.
1. Belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing (which is me, hermann, a man)
2. Belonging to or associated with any person in general (which includes men, including me, hermann, a man)
So, the question doesn't "exactly" refer to "women" alone.
"Delivered to your door" doesn't exactly mean "order online". Things were delivered to people's doors long before the internet was created.
I got the original intention of the question. My original post was intended to be sarcastic. If you can't imagine how the original question can possibly be interpreted in more than one way, then English must not be your first language.
