WASHINGTON The Obama administration on Wednesday appealed a federal judge's
order to lift all age limits on who can buy morning-after birth
control pills without a prescription.In appealing the ruling, the administration
recommitted itself to a position Obama took during his re-election campaign
that younger teens shouldn't have unabated access to emergency contraceptives,
despite the insistence by physicians groups and much of his Democratic base
that the pill should be readily available.A day earlier, the Food and
Drug Administration lowered the age that people can buy the Plan B
One-Step morning-after pill without a prescription to 15 -- younger than
the current limit of 17 -- and decided that the pill could
be sold on drugstore shelves near the condoms, instead of locked behind
pharmacy counters.That decision appeared to fly in the face of a judge's
decision last month that women of any age should be allowed to
buy both Plan B and its cheaper generic competition as easily as
they can buy aspirin. U.S. District Judge Edward Korman of New York
gave the FDA 30 days to comply, and the Monday deadline was
approaching fast, prompting the administration on Wednesday to ask the court
to put the ruling on hold while it reconsiders.With the appeal, the
Obama administration is making clear that it's willing to ease access to
emergency contraception only a certain amount -- not nearly as broadly as
doctors' groups and contraception advocates h
day. It
estimates 133,000 children under age 5 died, with child death rates approaching
20 percent in some communities.That's 133,000 under-5 deaths out of an estimated
9.3 million people. That compares to 65,000 under-5 deaths in all other
industrial countries in the world, a combined population of 990 million,
according to Chris Hillbruner, a senior food security adviser at FEWS NET,
a famine warning agency.The Associated Press earlier reported Monday on
the overall findings of the report.
