Conservatives “shocked” they didn’t get their way on Plan B

I’m really enjoying conservatives’ reactions to today’s Plan B news– they’re like spoiled children who aren’t used to hearing “no.” They’re pissed at the FDA, and even more pissed at Bush for saying he supports the agency’s decision. In response, they’re threatening to sue and working hard to get people to confuse emergency contraception with RU-486, the abortion pill.
Perhaps my favorite reaction is from Concerned Women for America, which argues that, because the FDA finally acknowledged that science shows Plan B is safe for over-the-counter sale, the agency has “overstepped its authority.”
In related good news today, the Kaiser Report says bills to allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions were introduced in nearly half of the state legislatures this year. But not a single state has passed the legislation. (I’m going to temporarily ignore the fact that all of that legislation is being reintroduced in the coming year…)
Delightful. Now does anybody know where I get in on some hot teen sex cult action?
