Plan B

Good news for anyone who wants to lower the rate of abortions and ensure proper family planning. As for those who think that putting the morning-after pill on the open market will increase promiscuity, let me remind you that taking the morning-after pill is kind of a horrible experience that involves sickness and nausea. It's not like popping an Altoids. What increases promiscuity is, um, hormones. Nothing more, nothing less. Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it.

I find it interesting that, in scanning the blogospheric response to this, many of the blogs writing about it are MySpace blogs. There most definitely is a political discussion happening on there, and politicians would be wise to get with the program and join it. But then, I'm being redundant.

The Democratic Daily has more on the political fallout of the FDA's decision.
