Judge: Group Can Subpoena White House

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal magistrate judge has ruled that a reproductive rights group can seek White House e-mails and other documents as part of its lawsuit promoting broader access to the morning-after pill.

The ruling by Viktor Pohorelsky allows the Center for Reproductive Rights to subpoena more than three years of Plan B-related communications between the White House's domestic policy office and select Food and Drug Administration officials. The documents include e-mails, letters and records of conversations.

The group sued the FDA seeking to lift all age restrictions on nonprescription sales of the Plan B emergency contraceptive pills. It seeks the documents to determine whether the White House interfered with the FDA's handling of a request by manufacturer Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. to allow over-the-counter sales.

The ruling issued Monday but disclosed Wednesday rejected a government effort to block the group from trying to subpoena the records.
