Women should be angry. Not only is the president appointing Supreme Court Justices who will always vote against a woman's right to choose, but now they are interfering with the FDA's scientific studies to insure the loops you have to go through to receive emergency contraception is maintained. The Plan B pill, or 'morning after pill' is a birth control pill not an abortion pill which seems to confuse some people. To make Plan B available over the counter instead of with a prescription can reduce the amount of abortions- which you would think would be a good thing. But no, the conservative right seems to believe that by preventing the access of birth control, maybe their teenage daughters will never have sex! Except that they will... and may become pregnant... and try to have a secret abortion to keep their parents from finding out. Oh, but then there are those laws in some states that require parental notification. So then the poor girl keeps the pregnancy secret until she finally goes into labor at her prom and gives birth in the high school gym. Then later we hear on the news about another baby found abandoned or worse and people wonder how this could happen. Well its time people realize that when barriers are put up preventing women from using birth control, some will resort to other more unfavorable alternatives.
