President Obama told the media May 2 that he backs the Food and Drug AdministrationÂs announcement to allow the sale of the emergency contraception pill, also known as ÂPlan B, to women 15 years and older.

Andrea Costello of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund touched base with Liberation Radio to talk about what's happening.
Iran will be holding its presidential election this coming June. The politicians in Washington would like to see the outgoing government of President Ahmadinejad, which has insisted on Iranian sovereignty and its right to pursue a nuclear program, replaced with one that will bend to U.S. interests.

Earlier in the month, Iran offered concessions during negotiations, but they were rebuffed by the U.S. and others. Mazda Majidi joins Liberation Radio by phone to discuss the context to Western imperialism and Iran.
