Doctors criticize FDA for delaying plan B approval.


(Back from my three month sabbatical, I lament writing a first post that rehashes bad news. But this item simply must be marked again.)

The Kaiser Daily Reproductive Health Report has assembled published opinion from around the United States on the FDA's scandalous further delay on Plan B's application for over-the-counter status.

Highpoint: A medical doctor and his coauthors write in the staid New England Journal of Medicine:

"The recent actions of the FDA leadership have made a mockery of the
process of evaluating scientific evidence, disillusioned many of the
participating scientists both inside and outside the agency, squandered
public trust and tarnished the agency's image."

They have also kept the abortion and birth rates higher than they need be.
