Pro-Life Unity ~ Life & Liberty

§ What is Pro-Life Unity?

To achieve Pro-Life Unity we will establish standards that we all agree upon, and efforts that we all regularly participate in. By working together we can challenge the culture of death and the apathy which is pervasive in our society.

§ Action Code

This is an updated version of my original Plan B cartoon that first appeared in 2006, when a politically browbeaten FDA finally allowed Teva Pharmaceutical’s Plan B abortifacient-contraceptive to be purchased without prescription. Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Korman made it timely once again by ordering the FDA to lower the age restriction for this “emergency contraceptive” or “morning after pill” to seventeen. But that’s not all. Korman took the extra step of ordering the FDA to investigate eliminating all age restrictions.

That’s right. This activist judge considers it reasonable to dispense an abortifacient-contraceptive (containing, by the way, many times the dose of progestin contained in conventional birth control pills) to a child of any age, without a parent’s permission or so much as a physician’s word of advice.

Last Wednesday, the FDA announced it would comply. Responding, Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards said, “Today’s announcement by the FDA is a strong statement to American women that their health comes before politics. The U.S. has the highest rate of teen pregnancy among the most developed countries in the world. Providing birth control, including emergency birth control, to young women helps them make responsible decisions and avoid unintended pregnancy.”

Richards is lying, of course.

Once again, leftwing politics trumps not only health, but life. However, we can’t expect Richards to acknowledge publicly what everyone on both sides of this apocalyptic battle knows: that wider availability of contraceptives increases the number of unintended pregnancies. And because Plan B is a child-molester’s dream, its availability increases the incidence of rape. But it’s not as though Richards minds; after all, Planned Parenthood’s business model is based entirely on irresponsible, abusive behavior. Selling contraception encourages promiscuity that leads to abortion. It’s a win-win situation for America’s biggest abortion vendor and a lose-lose situation for everyone else.

So much for Richards’ claim of helping kids “make responsible decisions and avoid unintended pregnancy.”
