"The vote," says committee member James Trussell, director of Princeton's office of population research, "provides a very powerful signal to women that this drug is safe." Although the FDA typically follows the recommendations of its advisory panels, some political opposition could yet emerge. A final decision is expected in a matter of weeks...
