Planned Parenthood is so pissed that their president (and major Obama backer) Cecile Richards is demanding a meeting with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

(LifeNews) — The president of the nation’s biggest abortion business is upset that her political ally Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, rejected a company’s bid to see the morning after pill over the counter to underage girls.

Cecile Richards released a letter today to demand a meeting with Sebelius concerning the decision.

“I write to request a meeting to discuss the Department of Health and Human Services’ decision yesterday to overrule the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and deny Teva Women’s Health Inc’s application to make Plan B One-Step emergency contraception available over the counter to women of all reproductive age,” she said.

“All women deserve timely access to emergency contraception and Teva’s proposal to lift the unnecessary and burdensome barriers to EC was both based on sound science and in the interest of public health. HHS’ decision to overrule the FDA hurts all women by imposing arbitrary restrictions on a product that is only effective when taken in a timely manner,” Richards wrote.

The Obama administration was examining the possibility of selling the morning after pill to teenagers and the FDA had until today to respond to a request from the maker of the Plan B drug to sell it on the shelves and not behind the pharmacist’s counter. However, although the FDA initially approved the decision, the HHS department overruled it.
