keryxI haven't seen anyone on LJ mention this; did I miss something? The FDA's Women's Health Director resigned over their asshattery about Plan B.
Good to protest it, I guess. But how much does it suck that she didn't have enough consultative power to push the rest of the organization in the first place?
What really, really frustrates me - and should frustrate you - is the stupid idea that Plan B, or any kind of contraception, is an abortifacient. That's the argument people use against it - that it amounts to whacking babies. And it's so not.
Ooh, maybe if all the radical Monty Python fans in the house stood out in front of the FDA singing "Every Sperm is Sacred", they'd get the point through our joke! Or they'd just interpret it as more fundamentalists coming to trump science.
Gah.
