FDA appeals ruling to require Plan B over the counter
The FDA and Justice Department appealed a 2nd Circuit ruling that ordered the agency to make Plan B emergency contraception available OTC to all ages within 30 days. The government seeks to stay the order as the district court review continues. Critics say the appeal limits women's access to contraception. The FDA had announced a prior shift allowing buyers aged 15 and up to purchase Plan B without a prescription.
