In the decision, the court wrote that the FDA “acted…in response to political pressure” and that the FDA’s evidence for limiting Plan B access to those under 18 “lacks all credibility.” You can read the rest of the scathing, 52-page decision here.
While reproductive rights activists and FDA reformists are rejoicing, there’s also the predictable condemnation by conservative organizations like the Family Research Council. The FRC says it worries about girls’ well-being, and claims the court’s decision is politically motivated. The decision accepts “all of the claims of a political ideology promoting sexual license for teens.” Personally, I don’t really see how Plan B promotes sexual license. If anything, I would think it promotes sexual responsibility. What’s your take?
