WASHINGTON (Nexstar) – Women around the United States should soon have easier access to birth control after the Food and Drug Administration approved the first-ever over-the-counter daily birth control pill.
Advocates say the approval of the over-the-counter birth control pill – Opill — comes at a critical time as states around the country are banning abortion.
They’re hopeful that millions of additional women will now be able to access more reliable birth control.
