"They weren't sure women would be able to follow the instructions"
Tell me the panel was made up of exclusively old men without telling me.
Dang, was hoping this was the men's version too. Would be nice.
Should offer them to the migrants…for free.
IF men could get pregnant there would be an abortion pill machine in every sports bar restroom, liquor store, McD's, Walmart, train station, 7-11, gas station, uber back seat, airport or church.
The FDA is as corrupt as the government it works for.
States say they override Federal law, huh? I guess now the States will try to tell stores, both large and small, what items they can offer in their physical and online stores. What then? Will the States try to tell us what foods we can buy and what clothing? Can't wait to see how this will end for the bossy, male-driven, conservative, religious, MAGA Republicans. You are painting yourselves into a corner.
It’s your Hole 🕳 It should be your choice to do what you want with your own HOLE 🕳!!!!!!!!!
The best birth control ever invented was for men to keep it zipped and ladies don't take off your panties. If the former doesn't, and the latter does, more than likely, two will equal one.😅
I’m 42 years old and went to pharmacies when I was in high school to totally get safe birth control (We also went to Bed Bath and Beyond). We got it. Does this worthless FDA not think about what we have all gone through in our lives, or do the just want to manipulate the next generation?
Over the counter isn't covered by insurance, so birth control pill cost ate going to be expensive.
Guess i need to ask my doctor if this is right for me
Abortion is murder
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Am I the only woman who heard, "they were worried that women wouldn't be able to understand the directions without a prescription."? Misogynistic much?
Gotta do something to keep the Black American population under control…
If they’re going to tell women what they can do with their bodies why not give them free healthcare?🤷♂️
Yay! Now you can be a slag with zero accountability!
Well, considering more and more stores that would sell this, such as Walgreens and cvs and Walmart, are shuttering stores by the hundreds especially in democrat-ran states, who is gonna sell this? They gonna make it available in the bathrooms at bars and Disneyland???
They need to vote to get potato head joe out of white house lame resident
A woman can have multiple abortions and tell the child she decides to have to hate their dad because he wanted her to have an abortion without telling that child he could have 3 siblings right now had she not have 3 abortions.
Women are duplicitous and evil creatures. A woman can drop her kid off at a gas station and not have to worry about paying for that child. That same woman will give birth 9 months later tell that kid's father he's a deadbeat.
The first protection is free. It's called keep your legs closed and zipper up…. And no doctors needed for the out of control STD's…
Safety?? It’s 100% lethal for the human being in the pre-birth stage of development.
Yeah and in Texas your friendly local neighbor bounty hunter will go through your trash to see if you've taken that pill and then claim his $10k reward for turning you in.
Should make it available online nationwide ! Name only required for medical safety notification, law forbids politicians from access of info.
Since women can’t get legal abortions, make contraceptives, like the birth control pill easier to get. Oh and btw….women can read. 🙄
They should ban the bible all Americans principal go against everything the bible say dont do
TrialSite News…..woolinski resigns……CDC ……. DailyClout……she knew……..
Gardasil
Sueing Merck…..25 yr old woman …..h p v….shots ….cancer ………
The AMA will do anything to keep their piece of the pie. Most doctors are nothing more than licensed drug dealers.
How is something that is absolutely none of my business to affect suddenly 100% my responsibility to pay for via taxes?
Those pills have side effects like migrane head aches and blood clots, among others.
…whatever happened to keeping your legs closed ?
