CWA PRESIDENT: ACTING FDA COMMISSIONER PUTTING WOMEN'S HEALTH AT RISK FOR PERSONAL ADVANCEMENT

Why is Acting FDA Commissioner Andrew Von Eschenbach allowing the emergency contraceptive commonly referred to as the "morning after pill" to be sold without a prescription? Even the average person with little or no medical background or training has the common sense to recognize that the morning after pill is an extremely dangerous drug that acts as an abortifacient and also has the potential to seriously harm and kill mothers.

Even the uneducated realize that if a sexual predator desires to obtain the "emergency" contraceptive for his underage victim this is his free license to continue abusing her. There is nothing preventing minors from obtaining this life-threatening drug -- ask any minor if he/she has difficulty obtaining alcohol.

CWA President Wendy Wright offers a plausible explanation. Wright believes Von Eschenbach is now supporting easier access to the drug in order to gain the favor of Senate Democrats.

"We've been extremely disturbed that the acting FDA commissioner would put women's health at risk for his own advancement in order to gain a permanent seat at the FDA," Wright offers.

"There is a reason why the low dose requires medical oversight, because it can have serious complications to women. So it makes no sense that a high dose could be easily attainable," Wright said.

Concerned Women for America is asking the White House to withdraw his nomination to head the FDA permanently. We all need to make this request by contacting the comment line at the White House and emailing VP Dick Cheney.
