FDA & Morning after pill--pls. read to take action

I got this information as a member of a pro-choice website. I thought I would bring the information here where it could receive the attention that it deserves. If any that read this are interested in signing the petitions on the actual website--please post to this thread and/or pm me and I will put the web address here so others can visit the site and sign the petitions. One of these issues needs to be responded to prior to January 20th--so let me know!

Below I have cut and pasted snippets of the e-mail that I was sent w/the links.

Snip--

Here we go again. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
until January 20 to decide on another petition to allow
over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill, Plan B.

If it were up to medical experts and scientists, the
morning-after pill - which significantly reduces a woman's
chance of becoming pregnant after sex or sexual assault - would
have been available without a prescription last year. But
science doesn't seem to matter when it comes to making policy on
women's reproductive health in the Bush Administration. In May
2004, President Bush's FDA rejected the recommendations of its
own experts and denied an application to make emergency
contraception available to women over the counter.

Will the FDA do the right thing this time and help women prevent
unintended pregnancy? Or will politics prevail AGAIN? Click here
