FDA Schedules Vote on Plan B - Make This Time the Last!
The morning-after pill: Women have been waiting a long time to access it without a prescription. Now, the FDA has re-started its decision-making process around the fate of the morning-after pill, also known as Plan B.
Despite FDA experts' own findings that Plan B is a safe and effective contraceptive method for women AND their recommendation that it be
approved for over-the-counter use, anti-choice politicians have successfully pressured the FDA to refuse to improve access to it for more than 3 years.
Don't let lack of public pressure be the reason the FDA sits on its laurels again.
Sign the petition to make this THE LAST round of decision-making on the morning-after pill!
Call on the FDA to support its own internal recommendations and stand with the hundreds of thousands of women who favor over-the-counter
access to Plan B now!
Dear Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach,
I'm writing in regards to the recent announcement that the FDA will re-start its decision-making process over approving the morning-after pill, or Plan B, for over-the-counter use.
Women have been waiting for over three years for the FDA to make this decision. And as you're well aware, your agency's own senior scientists and experts have found that emergency contraception is a safe and effective method for preventing unintended pregnancy and have recommended its approval for over-the-counter use.
We urge you to listen to the findings of your colleagues and to respect the wishes of hundreds of thousands of women around the country by improving their access to the morning-after pill.
[YOUR COMMENT]
We've all waited long enough.
Thank you.
