FDA OKs Plan B for Teens, No Prescription|CBN
Plan B
The Food and Drug Administration said 17-year-olds will no longer need a doctor’s prescription to get the Plan-B birth control pill.
This comes after a federal judge ruled the Bush administration let politics drive their decision to allow over-the-counter access only for women 18 and older.
Pro-life groups say it is the equivalent of an abortion pill.
Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America told CBN News that politics affected the FDA’s decision.”This decision is driven by politics, not what is good for parents or minors. Parents should be furious at the FDA’s complete disregard of parental right and the safety of minors,” she said.
Wright called the decision a “very bad precident.”
