Emergency Contraception Denied but Still a Threat
Great news came out about the rejection of an abortion drug by the FDA. However, the decision is related to labeling and intended use rather than the threat to the pre-born. Press Release from Pro-Life Wisconsin:
The news that Plan B (so-called "emergency contraception") would not presently receive over-the-counter status is seen by Pro-Life Wisconsin as a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, the door was left wide open by the Food and Drug Administration in their letter of rejection to Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the manufacturer). The FDA informed Barr that with additional data the administration would entertain a revised application for possible over-the-counter status for girls age sixteen and older. Younger girls could still access the "morning after" pill (EC) by prescription.
