Emergency Birth Control Now Available to 17 year-olds

U.S. District Judge Edward Korman ruled last month in a lawsuit filed in New York by the Center for Reproductive Rights that President George W. Bush's appointees let politics, not science, drive their decision to restrict over-the-counter access to Plan B (emergency birth control).  As a result, the FDA issued a decision to make Plan B available over-the-counter to 17 year-olds.

This is a huge victory in our work to reduce unintended pregnancy by making vital reproductive healthcare more accessible to 17 year-olds.

Three cheers to the FDA and this long awaited change.
