Not that this is a surprise. But I'm still outraged nonetheless. And it's not about pro-choice - it's about the fact that unfounded moralistic bullshit takes precedence over scientific fact.
According to this article, "In denying over-the-counter availability, the FDA cited concerns about teens taking Plan B without clinical supervision. Opponents to approval expressed concerns that easier access may result in increased teen promiscuity, and may make teen girls subject to abuse by older men."
Science has been taking a back seat to religious fanatacism on the most fundamental of decisions in this country. It's a problem. And don't even get me started about stem cell research. Kudos to NJ Gov. McGreevey, who now will likely have his confirmation revoked and be banned from the confessional for establishing a state-funded research institute. Take that Bush II -- and take that you Vatican fascists.
