Some people of a more puritanical leaning than the average TFPer think that making it more available will lead to more teenagers having sex. They same people didn't want to approve Plan B as an over-the-counter drug at all (since making people get a perscription for a drug that is only effective for 72 hours is a great idea), so the age limit was a compromise to get it passed the FDA approval process.
