Last week, the head of FDA's Office for Women's issues resigned in protest over the agency's failure to listen to staff scientists on Plan B, commonly known as the " morning after pill. " As you know, the FDA is also not listening to its staff scientists about the health risks of silicone implants. This pattern of ignoring science in favor of political and business pressure at the FDA is a threat to our health and safety and must stop.Please click on the Take Action link and send a letter to the editor of your LOCAL newspaper.
