<snark> It's not that they want minors to have abortions. It's that they want minors to suffer for daring to have sex before an arbitrary natal day. If they could keep them in cages--well, except for the ones that the boychildren need for their wild oats to be sown--they would. </snark>
I suspect that there wouldn't be an issue for an adult male to buy any given medicine. After all, you could be buying it for a female friend or partner. (I'd love to go three rounds with a pharmacist on that one if I was refused.) The sold from "behind the counter" thing, though, leads me to suspect that there will more problems with "mysterious" shortages from righteous pharamacists. Not that this doesn't happen already but, if one is trying to get something over-the-counter, one has potentially less leverage than if one has a prescription. Still, it's a step. It wasn't all that long ago when condoms were only sold from behind the counter.
