FDA Schedules Vote on Plan B - Make This Time the Last!
Target: Andrew von Eschenbach, FDA CommissionerSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
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!

If this is america, then why should a woman not have control over her own body. It is not a governmental issue to discuss how AMERICA rules what a woman does. IS OUR GOVERNMENT READY TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT FOR A BABY THAT IS NOT AFFORDED? accidents happen, but that does not make it a crime. get over it and get on with it.

I demand that Plan B have easier access for all women. I pray for the day that the laws that govern women's' reproductive health and self determination be fair and equal to that of men. This government is *supposed* to be FOR THE PEOPLE and not for the FDA.

I hope I live to see the day that all women have the right to decide for themselves when the time is right for her to reproduce.

Because only I know my personal situation, and if it is the right time to bring a child into this world. At the risk of being beaten, murdered, abandoned or neglected, women should be able to decide when they are ready to raise a child.

Because they mean more to us than they did to Hitler, Stalin, Hussein, or Chavez, etcetera...I mean, women have more real value to the GOP than THAT, don't they?

Women will be held accountable for babies born or unborn. Let women decide their own best corse of action.
