For the first time, a pharmaceutical company has asked for permission to sell a birth control pill over the counter in the U.S.
Many conservative groups stress they are only interested in curtailing abortion, and state bans often explicitly exclude contraception.
Behind the company’s efforts is a coalition of women’s health researchers and advocates who have worked for nearly two decades to make contraceptives more accessible, especially to groups with less access to health care. Advocates were particularly interested in HRA’s drug because they say it’s likely to raise fewer safety concerns.
For most women, the drugs are overwhelmingly safe. For every 10,000 women taking combination pills annually, three to nine will suffer a blood clot, according to FDA data. That compares with one to five clots among 10,000 women who aren’t taking birth control.
