As an update to the incredibly long struggle of Barr Laboratories, who have been trying to get Plan B emergency contraception over-the-counter access, a new voice of the FDA gives us some optimism.

Check out the article from the Washington Post last week where the nominee to be the next commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration indicated that the drug will soon be approved for sale without a prescription.

Acting commissioner Lester M. Crawford implied the same at his Senate Committee Confirmation hearing last week. "The science part is generally done. We're just now down to what the label will look [like]. This is going to be a very unusual sort of approval."

Whatever that means. All I know is that I refuse to do any celebrating until it's officially approved and everyone has access.
