New Emergency Contraception Label Undermines Corporations' Objections To Health Plans Covering the Pills

As I was saying in my last post, the evidence shows that emergency contraceptive pills work before fertilization, not after (contrary to the claims of corporations like Hobby Lobby).  Now European health authorities are changing the labeling to reflect this information.

The New York Times:  New Birth Control Label Counters Lawsuit Claim, by Pam Belluck:

European health authorities have made two significant changes to the label of an emergency contraception pill that is equivalent to Plan B One-Step. One of the changes could be relevant to two cases that the Supreme Court added to its docket on Tuesday.

The new label of the drug, Norlevo, says it “cannot stop a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb,” contradicting a claim by some abortion opponents that has fueled their objections to the Affordable Care Act.

The new label also warns that Norlevo loses effectiveness in women weighing more than 165 pounds and does not work in women over 176 pounds.

Norlevo is not sold in the United States, but Plan B One-Step and two generic versions are identical to it. . . .
