The FDA said in a memo in December 2011 that "it is well supported, and science-based sufficient and reasonable evidence that Plan B One-Step is safe and effective and should be approved for nonprescription use for all women of childbearing age. "

Korman called the action of the Secretary "clearly political" and wrote several pages of each sentence deconstruction memo Sebelius to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg. He said Sebelius had "failed to provide a coherent justification" for denying sales of emergency contraception against.
