We ask that you share with us your specific rationale and the scientific data you relied on for the decision to overrule the FDA recommendation [to increase access to Plan B].
Fourteen Democratic Senators • In a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who last week overruled an FDA recommendation that Plan B, the emergency contraception, be available without prescription to minors. In the words of Greg Sargent, who reported the story, “it isn’t every day that 14 Senators aggressively call out their own party’s Health and Human Services Secretary.” Then again, a lot of Senate Democrats are up for re-election next year, lending an element of realpolitik to the letter. source (via • follow)

BAD ASS. I am so tired of hearing this justified as “we don’t want 11 year olds using it on their own.” Right, we have no options here. Either we restrict access for 17yo girls or 11yo girls start poppin it like tylenol (which is more risky). FUCK.
