Women Uplift the World
The FDA is studying a new morning-after pill, commonly known as Ella, for approval in the United States. Ella is short for EllaOne, the brand name of the pill in Europe.

Though it is still a new drug and needs further study, I am hoping for rapid approval for prescription use. Why?
