Excerpt:

No prescription or physician 's examination needed : The nation 's largest group of obstetricians and gynecologists says birth control tablets should be sold over the counter, like condoms. Tuesday's surprise viewpoint from these gatekeepers of contraception could possibly improve long time efforts by females 's supporters to make the pill more accessible. However nobody expects the pill to be sold without a prescription any type of time quickly : A company would have to find government consent initially, and it's not clear if any type of are considering it. Plus there are big questions about what such a step would imply for lots of females 's pocketbooks if it were not covered by insurance. Still, energy may be building.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
