Susan Wood Interview from the Village Voice

The Stalling of Plan B Forces Personal Plan C

Q: Has it been harder to approve new products under the Bush administration?

A: Rulemaking and regulation has slowed—in most cases, but not all cases. I’m trying to avoid—I don’t want to be someone who says it was politicized. I don’t know. I wasn’t consulted. I wasn’t in any discussions. I wasn’t in the room. That’s part of the problem. They wouldn’t consult the director of the Office of Women’s Health for such a decision.
