A distraction from the waiting...I give you an excellant piece from Fox

I'm serious...it's a great op ed from foxnews on abortion. I know - but just read it. It will help with the Plame waiting...

The study found that “the average woman who seeks an abortion is 24 years old, unwed, earns a yearly income of about $25,000 and already is a mother…She has religious beliefs and is a Christian…the typical abortion is performed around the eighth week — well within the first trimester.”

There are two remarkable findings buried in this study. Again quoting, “The social conservatives’ focus on so-called 'partial-birth abortion' affects, at most, eight of every 10,000 abortions performed. The social liberals’ traditional defense of abortion on the grounds of rape and incest or the life of the mother is irrelevant in approximately 98 of every 100 abortions.”

That’s why the resignation of Assistant FDA Commissioner Susan Wood (search) is so significant.

Wood said she was leaving her position with the FDA because of FDA Commissioner Lester M. Crawford’s recent announcement that he would delay approval of the emergency contraceptive Plan B (search), which is also known as the morning-after pill.

Plan B has been available as a prescription-only drug since 1999. Its distributor applied to the FDA for permission to sell the drug over the counter, and an FDA expert advisory panel voted 23 to 4 in favor of their application. It was Crawford’s action delaying approval of this application that prompted Wood’s resignation after working for the FDA for five years.

Plan B prevents pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of sexual activity. Some religious conservatives have opposed it, even though in most cases it prevents fertilization of an egg and there is no abortion. This is the crowd that must believe that conception occurs when they take Cialis (search).

We're they advertising on the FOX website?

They may advertise with FOX, but the reason is because Target hires pharmacists who refuse to fill PRESCRIPTIONS for the "day after" birth control pills. Planned Parenthood has asked that we email Target (see Planned Parenthood's website) and boycott them for their policy.

will support the religious beliefs of its pharmacist's over and above the health of those who visit a Target pharmacy for the emergency contraceptive pill. Problem is Target claims that its pharmacist's are required to find a suppplier of the pill in a "timely" manner. Yeah right.

Since neither Target or any other pharmacy has made an announcement of this new policy in print, as a sign in a store or posted it on their web site....

I say they are discriminating against women.

Target claims that Planned Parenthood is spreading rumors that Target will not supply the pill but that is erroneous. Planned Parenthood has alerted women to the fact that Target cannot be relied on to dispense emergency contraception on demand.
