Susan F. Wood, PhD., Food and Drug Administration Assistant Commissioner for Women's Health, has resigned her post after FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford decided to play politics with women's health by further delaying approval of emergency contraception for over-the-counter sale. This despite the deal he struck with Congress to lock his confirmation as Commissioner that the FDA would issue a final decision by today.

Ms. Wood is a true hero who spent 15 years dedicated to improving the health of American women.

I can no longer serve as staff when scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated and recommended for approval by the professional staff here, has been overruled. I therefore have submitted my resignation effective today.

Now that's integrity.
