the FDA approved over-the-counter access to the "morning-after" pill

[Horse with no Name]

at 9:20 a.m. today. WE DID IT!
Thanks to the letters, petitions, and support from people like you, the FDA finally overcame the political pressure from the White House, Congress, and anti-choice lobbyists, and approved the morning-after pill for over-the-counter sales.

Medical experts and scientists at the FDA have asserted for years that the morning-after pill - which can prevent an unintended pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after sex - should be available without a prescription. It's safe, it's effective, and it's a commonsense way for women to prevent unintended pregnancy.

Thank you again for helping achieve this victory for women - your action does make a difference.

My best,



Nancy Keenan
President

4. I didn't notice the time on the other posts. At least it is being

discussed and not ignored. I know that this decision was very important to a lot of us around here.
