Victory for Plan B!

Two U.S. senators have stood out in their efforts to help sound science prevail over politics in the campaign for increased access to Plan B: Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Patty Murray (D-WA).

Please thank them for a job well done!

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Thanks for your leadership on Plan B!

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am writing to personally thank you for putting pressure on the FDA to increase access to emergency contraception. Your leadership helped secure the FDA's recent decision to grant over-the-counter status for Plan B, and I join thousands of advocates who also played a part in this campaign in saying, "Well done."

I realize we have more work to do, since the decision only applies to women 18 and over, but this was a hard-won victory. I encourage you to continue your commitment to giving women who may face unintended pregnancies access to a full range of healthy, safe options.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
August 21, 2006
