some good news for once...

from NARAL's newsletter:

We did it! At 9:20 a.m. today, the FDA approved over-the-counter access to the "morning-after" pill!
Thanks to the letters, petitions, and support from people like you, the FDA finally overcame the political pressure from the White House, Congress, and anti-choice lobbyists, and approved the morning-after pill for over-the-counter sales.
Medical experts and scientists at the FDA have asserted for years that the morning-after pill - which can prevent an unintended pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after sex - should be available without a prescription. It's safe, it's effective, and it's a commonsense way for women to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Thank you again for helping achieve this victory for women - your action does make a difference.
