The Fight for Women's Rights
On April 5, a federal judge in New York ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to allow a person of any age to purchase the so-called "morning after pill" without a prescription. The move overturns a 2011 decision requiring a prescription for Plan B One-Step contraception for women under age 17. While the future impact of this ruling remains to be seen, there are a number of landmark reproductive rights cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court that have shaped the current state of women's health in the United States. — Britt Middleton
