    The show goes on

    Do you remember that thread about the woman who had her morning-after pill denied?

    The show goes on!

    Efforts by antiabortion groups led to the passage last year of a Texas bill that eliminated the drug from a demonstration family-planning program, and to an Arkansas bill that kept emergency contraception off a list of protected contraceptives.

    Jackie Payne of Planned Parenthood accused Plan B opponents in the states of mounting "an active attempt to blur the line and confuse people about emergency contraception -- saying it's abortion when it's not. Our job is to explain how emergency contraception avoids later abortions, and is in fact a win-win for everyone."

    Thank god we have such Christian fundamentalists who are doing their courageous duty to save our civilization from cultural degeneration and eternal damnation.

      AFAIK, Plan B is at times an abortifacient. Indeed, if it weren't so, then it would be of no use. I don't know where the line is being blurred here.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Hey, every sperm is sacred.

        Condom is murder!

        You'll all burn in hell!

        Not for any specific reason, mind you.

          If Plan B is an abortifacient, so is spirals and a some other contraceptive contraptions.

            Indeed. Even the pill can be an abortifacient at times, though that's not the purpose of the pill.

              What can I say? Every place has morons.

              In other news, Arkansas is one of only 5 states in the country that pays for AP tests for high school students. Tell me if any of you guys ever saw THAT in the biased news.
