Just weeks after the reversal of Roe v. Wade, a French company is asking the FDA to approve an over-the-counter version of the birth control pill. In the Supreme Court’s ruling, they said the right to contraception would not be affected. However, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that it should be. The company, HR Pharma, says it processed the FDA application 7 years ago and the timing with the high court’s ruling is coincidental. Meanwhile, the Biden administration faces increased pressure to take action on reproductive rights issues, including potentially declaring a public health emergency over abortion.

Thank god
Religion has deep fried the brains of so many
Trash Right wing Republicans should be ashamed, but we all know they are not capable of feeling any emotion! Bunch of cold hearted low life piles of human excrement, all of them! I am glad this is a small victory for woman's rights! Get out and vote against these sick individuals who want to rip our country apart, and take away more of our rights!
Completely support otc abortion pills
Good
Most of the rest of the world , is already getting most of the drugs we use as prescribed, over the counter. Th we doctors , and insurance and pharmacy are just using control and a way to keep making huge profits.
Health care should not be for profit..
I’m long done with needing birth control….and actually never thought the day would come while I’m still alive that as a woman a man took away the right to protect against a unwanted pregnancy….and if a woman had anything to do with this decision ,it’s because a man told her to…hmmm….ok don’t send me hate responses…I’m just voicing my opinion…oh wait…I’m a woman so I don’t have an opinion…
This would be a huge win for women and equal rights. I'm all for it.
I can hardly wait to see how & why the commie-red cap wearers start attacking this development!
Once birth control pills and other contraception methods are outlawed, take away women’s rights to vote, drive and sue for divorce. 😜
Yet it takes/costs an arm and a leg to get your hands on Testosterone? Really? Wow this is so messed up and unfair. You can literally order estrogen on eBay/amazon etc but OH BOY CANT HAVE JUICE CUZ MEH FOOT BALL AND SPORTS. YEP DEMZ DBOLS ARE NOT COOLIO. legit sports is the reason you cant get juice. I hate this country.
Imagine if American women were legally allowed to forego motherhood through abortion and adoption, without being legally responsible for child support; yet American men are unable to legally forgo fatherhood without permission from women and are forced to pay pay child support. Double standards and fem@le privilege are fun kids. Hands off their bodies, Hands off our wallets
God laughs at the wicked and so do I
I'm a crazy Transgender and I'll take Ethinyl Estradiol instead of getting a prescription for Estradiol and having to pay a ruthless capitalist doctor a fee.
🐂💩
FDA did such a bang-up job with that clot shot they call a COVID vaccine. What could possibly go wrong?
Why Joe Biden is making this kind of the policy?
Family reportedly accepted $31M from deals in China (Hunter Biden laptop proved);
Fails to demand covid origins investigation;
Fails to call for an end of fentanyl trafficking;
Canceled the China initiative the continued Chinese intellectual property theft;
Considering lifting tariffs on Chinese imports;
Sending China oil from America's strategic reserve, around 5 million barrels where Hunter Biden has your deals;
Pushing Electric Vehicles, solar panels and batteries made in China aggressively in his climate change agenda;
And others things more.
BIG PHARMA …. yeah that's the answer
With the side effects becoming more apparent,
more and more people are beginning to realize that fewer and fewer citizens want to raise children in an ill-minded society…
Why wouldn’t it be over the counter- besides greed
The US govt. is a nanny state, in many countries the birth control pill is completely over the counter besides a lot of other drugs.
Did I hear that right? Clarence Thomas wants to ban birth control pills?
Tricking your body into the cell division phase for a decade without turning off the signal with a second trimester promises cancer. Great you had those kids at 30 and now you have breast cancer and will die before their adults. Bravo move.
Birth control fails. When it fails what ya gonna do? Only a failed pharmaceutical product would still be totted as effective.
Yes! #FreethePill has been trying for years to get FDA approval. Millions of women can't afford or aren't qualified for insurance. But it does need to be affordable no more than $10 just like the cheapest generic prescription price.
Prevention has always been the answer to babies being born to mothers who can't/won't raise them in a safe and healthy manner.
It's been free in my country forever.
Birth control pills shouldn’t have EVER needed a prescription!! Who needs an appointment, miss work, insurance and to discuss it with a male ?
GOOD
GOP Regulate Guns not Wombs!
Lesbians are gonna really get this lol!!!!!
