More "Dancing With The Devil"

Sane, sensible people are trying to get the Plan B "Morning After" contraceptive approved by the FDA for over-the-counter availability, and to get it done they've been delaying final approval of Dr. Andrew Von Eschenbach for FDA director.

For my purposes, I want to just highlight this passage:

The morning-after pill is a high dose of the most common ingredient in regular birth control pills. When taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, the two-pill series can lower the risk of pregnancy by up to 89 percent.

Contraceptive advocates and doctors groups say easier access to Plan B could halve the nation's 3 million annual unintended pregnancies. Opponents say wider access to the pill could promote promiscuity.

Unfortunately, the article doesn't quote these opponents directly, although I have a couple of suspects in mind. I'll dig up more clues later.

Suffice it to say, for my purposes, this couldn't be a clearer indication of the Holy Terrors' frame of mind.

They'd RATHER HAVE ONE AND A HALF MILLION WOMEN GET ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT every year than have safe sex.
