If the FDA grants the request, women would be able to buy the pill from HRA Pharma over the counter, similar to common pain relievers.

ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Cecilia Vega explains how the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe could affect other civil rights issues, like marriage between same-sex couples and in vitro fertilization.

Many conservative groups stress they are only interested in curtailing abortion, and state bans often explicitly exclude contraception. In each case, companies must show that consumers can understand the drug's labeling, evaluate its risks and use it safely and effectively without professional supervision. HRA spent seven years conducting the FDA-required studies, including a trial that followed 1,000 women taking its pill for six months.

Birth control pills are available without a prescription across much of South America, Asia and Africa. Last year, Paris-based HRA won U.K. approval for the first birth control pill available there without a prescription. But estrogen also accounts for most of the blood clot risk associated with oral contraceptives. FDA's labeling warns against their use in certain women already at risk for heart problems, such as those who smoke and are over 35.

The only reason this won't get approved is if insurance companies lobby against it birth control pills may prevent pregnancy- but... they don't stop STDs (a condom is still required) & more importantly- they cause breast & uterine cancer.- SayNoToBirthControlPills
