Urge the FDA to improve access to the morning-after pill
Target: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Acting Commissioner, Andrew von EschenbachSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
The Bush administration has broken its promise to make a decision on the morning-after pill by September 1.
American women have waited more than two years for the FDA to decide whether women can purchase the morning-after pill over the counter. The delays persist despite The Bush administration's explicit promise to the U.S. Senate that the FDA would stop dragging its feet and issue a decision by September 1.
Now that Lester Crawford has abruptly resigned his post as Commissioner after just three months on the job, we have a real opportunity for progress under new FDA leadership.
Join us in telling the FDA that Americans are fed up with anti-choice politics getting in the way of sound science and women's access to birth control. Sign our petition to the FDA today!

people need to be educated that this is not an abortion pill. it is no different than using birth control on a regular basis. it prevents contraception not kills babies.

We know it's safe, so women over 18 should be able to get it without a prescription.

Politics and religious beliefs should not get in the way of a woman trying to use contraception, and right now they are. Let's make it easier for women to make responsible choices about reproduction by making emergency contraception available to them when it is needed. If that means making available over-the-counter, then so be it.
