Dear Feminists, Over 1 million of us just Marched for Women’s Lives – now we must act for women’s lives. This is an emergency. The Washington Post just reported the alarming news that the distributors of the emergency contraceptive (EC) Plan B do not think that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will approve over-the-counter status for EC. A spokesperson for Barr Laboratories, the distributors of the Plan B, told the Post that she thinks “an approval is not a likely scenario.” Despite the fact that the FDA’s own expert advisory panels voted 23-4 in December in favor of making Plan B available over the counter, the FDA has delayed its decision until May 21, a move many believe was politically motivated. This delay followed pressure from right-wing groups and anti- reproductive rights members of Congress. Medical research demonstrated the safety, efficacy, and need for emergency contraception over the counter. We cannot allow anti-reproductive rights extremists to take this women’s health and public health breakthrough product away from women seeking to avoid unintended pregnancy. It is imperative that we send thousands of messages to the FDA expressing support for the immediate approval of over-the-counter emergency contraception. We urge you to forward this critical alert to all of your friends and family as soon as possible. Time is running out. Together, we can make a difference. For Women's Lives, Ellie Smeal, President Beth Jordan, M.D., Medical Director
