MADISON, Wisconsin- Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager has announced that she is seeking the authority to file a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its delays in approving an emergency contraceptive pill known as “Plan B,” as an over-the-counter drug which has been pending at the federal agency since 2003.
“The citizens of Wisconsin who are being harmed by this politically motivated delay deserve answers, and they deserve action,” Lautenschlager said. “The negative effects of withholding approval of this drug over political -- not scientific or other legitimately accepted grounds -- are far reaching, hurting not only victims of rape who might be in need of emergency contraception, but the greater community health, the economy and the fundamental right to justice.”
Insiders' view: Good for you, Peg. Turn up the heat! This was all political from Day 1. The link below will fill you in on back history.
