The first book to examine the politicization of the FDA approval process for reproductive drugs, this study maps the hard-fought battles over the four major drugs currently on the U.S. market.To make her case, Melissa Haussman scrutinizes the history of the FDA and the statutes that have governed it, as well as interactions between the U.S. government, American pharmaceutical companies, and the medical community. The analysis centers on explaining how three reproductive drugs were kept off the U.S. market well after their efficacy had been proven, while the availability of the fourth, Gardasil, has less to do with helping girls than with preserving the financial wellbeing of Merck. Readers will come away understanding how, when it comes to reproductive drugs, women's health concerns have consistently taken a backseat to political agendas and corporate profits. 410 0$aReproductive rights and policy. 606 $aBirth control$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aBirth control$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aContraceptives$zUnited States 606 $aReproductive rights$zUnited States 606 $aWomen's rights$zUnited States 615 0$aBirth control$xGovernment policy 615 0$aBirth control$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aContraceptives 615 0$aReproductive rights 615 0$aWomen's rights 676 $a363.9/60973 700 $aHaussman$b Melissa$f1959-$01437160 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812264703321 996 $aReproductive rights and the state$94114835 997 $aUNINA
