The American Public Health Association remains strong in its position that the FDA made a mistake by denying approval of the over-the-counter contraceptive Plan B. National Women’s Health Week is this week and the APHA believes now is the time to criticize the decision of the FDA.
“National Women’s Health Week is a good opportunity to raise the importance of improving access to emergency contraception.” "The science clearly supports increasing access to emergency contraception to protect women’s health and prevent unintended pregnancies and subsequent abortions," said Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, executive director of the American Public Health Association. "The FDA’s decision impedes access to an important public health intervention for women across the country."
