Make EC Available Over-the-Counter for ALL Women
A Petition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) *
In America, where 95 percent of the annual 800,000 teenage pregnancies are unintended and quality reproductive services for young women are often limited, activists like you must take action to make emergency contraception more widely available.
Advocates for Youth and Choice USA urge you to Take Action! It has been one year since the FDA’s ruling to make over-the-counter sales of EC available only to women ages 18 and older. We continue to ask for the removal of this age restriction.
Together, we the undersigned:
Demand that the FDA rescind its decision to make over-the-counter sales of EC available only to women ages 18 and older. We urge the FDA to follow the recommendations of the American Medical Association and its own scientific advisors to make EC available without a doctor's prescription for ALL women, including young women under age 18.
* The FDA has a formal process for petition submissions. By signing this petition, I agree to have my name included on a formal petition requesting that the FDA remove the age restriction on over-the-counter EC access.
