Possible ban on over the counter contraceptive pills. What are you thoughts on this

Excerpt from Indian Express:

‘The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) is likely to recommend a ban on the over-the-counter (OTC) sale of all hormonal contraceptive drugs, including oral emergency contraceptive pills (ECP).’

If this actually happens, it’s will be a huge setback. Unplanned pregnancy and abortion rates will probably increase. There are cases where the pills are being popped like candies but instead of banning over the counter sale, awareness about usages and side effects would be much better.
