New research showed that it more than halved the risk of pregnancy compared with the 72-hour pill, levonorgestrel.

This is great since it gives a woman more days to find a pharmacist willing to carry and sell these pills. Some women live in puritanical and misogynist cities where this may be a difficult and time consuming process. One less barrier the anti-choice crowd can throw our way... YAY!
