(Emergency Contraception)available. Now of course it's available but only by prescription and this FDA wants to keep it from going OTC on specious grounds.
This is no small thing. EC can prevent up to half of the unplanned pregnancies in this country, and thus also potentially half of all the abortions.
This kind of activism is noble in my opinion. So while we may have our particular aversions to some things Clinton did (my own is his use of the death penalty in Arkansas), he gave us 8 years of peace and unprecedented prosperity and women's health improved. He also gave us Ruth Bader Ginsburg and let us all say AMEN!
