Kitty Beaver's Blurty

Seems that it's a bad day for Pluto and the Neo-Prolifers....
I haven't done a god damn thing all day...I sat around watched my brother....and the news.
And it turns out Earth has decided to blow off Pluto. I really wonder who decides these things....
It reminds me of the board of education.....I wonder if the Sailor Scouts are going to kick out Sailor Pluto.... I mean obviously she has been faking it the entire time.....
Also....Plan B has been aproved for over the counter use!

Plan B: One small step

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL BOARD

In approving pharmacists' sales of emergency contraception, non-prescription, the FDA has finally taken a big step to prevent pregnancies, protect health and reduce abortions.

The new policy will allow sale of the Plan B morning-after pill to women 18 and older without a prescription. The agency had to be dragged into science and good public policy.

President Bush's political advisers and a succession of ranking Food and Drug Administration officials repeatedly blocked, sidelined or delayed proposals that had received thorough scientific review. U.S. Sens. Patty Murray of Washington and Hillary Clinton played key roles in forcing action, by holding approval of an FDA commissioner nominee.

Even the new decision included a compromise based on ideology. Girls 17 and younger will need a doctor's approval for emergency contraception. Elaine Rose, executive director of Planned Parenthood's affiliates in Washington state, said, "Once again, there is no scientific basis, just as there has been no scientific basis for the foot-dragging" over more than three years.

Because of state law, minors here should remain able to receive emergency contraception from pharmacists. But it is important to keep the state Pharmacy Board from allowing pharmacists to arbitrarily refuse emergency contraception, birth control prescriptions or other doctor-prescribed medicine.

At the state and national levels, ideology has inserted itself into the discussions. Science, the facts and the need to reduce the high U.S. teen birth rate ought to guide the decisions.

so, um.... on that note....in your face catholic church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
