Statement on FDA Postponement of OTC Birth Control Meeting
Advocates for Youth and the Free the Pill Youth Council are outraged by the FDA’s decision to delay the meeting of its advisory committee to discuss approving an over-the-counter birth control pill.
“It’s hard to understand why the FDA would make this decision when birth control is such an urgent health care need,” said Debra Hauser, President, Advocates for Youth. “It’s so frustrating for the young people working hard to ensure everyone has access to contraception when they need it and without barriers.”
