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!

It is ludicrous that you can only purchase this pill over the counter in select states in the U.S. Abortion rates and teen pregnancies could be reduced if the availability was there. www.connietalk.com
