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!

Carrying an infant to term, giving birth, raising a child to adulthood is a "big deal." If the government is allowed to make this decision, then it needs to be there at every step for the woman and her child. For example: The government needs to help that woman find a job which will meet her financial needs and allow her to meet the needs of the child when sick, for parent-teacher conferences, etc.
