Bioethics, healthcare policy, and related issues.
The Center for Reproductive Rights has a set of statements and briefing papers on the FDA’s religiously-dictated refusal to certify “Plan B” emergency contraception for over-the-counter sale. They also show running clocks counting up the time since the original petition for OTC status was filed, and the number of unplanned pregnances in the US that are estimated to have resulted since (1,580 days as of today, and 13 million unplanned pregnancies, respectively).
Women’s lives, health, and liberty hang in the balance as this shame continues.
