Plan B is a special case - in that it has to be determined whether it 
requires a prescription or not. If it requires a prescription, then the 
delay in getting the prescription when Plan B is needed can far exceed the 
time to order it in. If a prescription is not required, as originally 
proposed by the review board at FDA, then it is an over-the-counter med on 
the shelf with aspirin. In that case, I can imagine that a private drug 
store might opt to not carry it, but it would be a popular item to obtain 
in advance of need and where it is available would become known.
