"We are pleased with Judge Korman's decision ordering FDA to lift its restrictions on access to emergency contraceptives. Restricting over-the-counter access by age has historically been a political decision. We agree with the court that these decisions need to be based on science, not politics.

This results in bad medicine and bad policy. Today's decision tells the Federal Government that science should guide policy, and we applaud that stance."
