Quick update: @charles_gaba has completed uploading the archives of the full FDA site! Enjoy the easy of navigation. Next up, we're converting the CDC archive to this more convenient drop-down menu format. And after that, more archiving from more agencies. acasignups.net/fda-website

If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.
