Subject: Morning-after pill

Dear Sir/Madam,

It has recently come to my attention that the FDA is being urged by a 
consortium of interest groups and the pharmaceutical industry to authorize 
dispensation of the "morning-after pill" without physician prescription.

I am strongly opposed to such dispensation of the "morning-after pill" over 
the counter, and hope that the FDA would not consent to such an 
irresponsible course of action as removing this, or any form of hormonal 
contraception, from the oversight of trained medical personnel.

Thank you very much for your consideration of my e-mail.  I look forward to 
watching the progress of this initiative, and hope that the FDA continues 
to enforce a medically and socially responsible policy in this as in all 
matters of women's reproductive health.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kateryna Cuddeback
Boston, MA
