The American Medical Association is urging the FDA to allow women to obtain birth control over the counter and without a prescription as the end of Roe v. Wade nears.
Director of the National Economic Council Brian Deese joins ‘Fox News Sunday’ to discuss record-high inflation and the economy.U.S. doctors at the American Medical Association are pushing the FDA to allow women to obtain birth control pills without a prescription.
The AMA, America's largest association of physicians, made the call during its annual meeting, which ended Friday. The organization says women should be able toover the counter as the Supreme Court appears likely to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. "Providing patients with OTC access to the birth control pill is an easy call from a public health perspective as the health risks of pregnancy vastly outweigh those of oral contraceptive use," AMA Board Member David H. Aizuss, M.D., wrote in a public statement.
"Access is one of the most cited reasons why patients do not use oral contraceptives, use them inconsistently, or discontinue use. Expanding OTC access would make it easier for patients to properly use oral contraceptives, leading to fewer unplanned pregnancies," he continued.The AMA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
