Wow! Pro-choice ~and~ bending to conservative pressure… I didn’t think that was possible! 😉

Thanks for the info…

She is absolutely pro-choice. Here, she is just bending to conservative pressure.

Someone on a different blog mentioned that Sibelius was pro-choice… which seems unlikely to me.

Does anyone know?

I just assumed that Sibelius’s move was motivated by religion – do we know if that is the case?

For whatever it's worth, I was just notified of a change.org petition.

Also, daughters are the property of their fathers, dontcha know. If a 16 year old girl can get birth control without a prescription, she can just go around letting other men put their penises in HIS PROPERTY and he won’t even know about it!

They do have a point…I mean…If some guy stuck his penis in your peanut butter without your permission you’d probably hate it and never want anything to do with that peanut butter ever again.
Why would you treat your children with such favoritism?

Greg, you know that the only people that need Plan B are sluts. Sluts need to be punished…with children. Or shrieked at when they get abortions.
Taking responsibility for a mistake/carelessness and doing the right thing must be prevented at all cost.

I’m an employee of the FDA, I keep their computers running.

I remember the Bush & Co. days when the FDA was regularly prevented from making science based decisions, constantly being foiled by political appointees who “corrected” our decisions based on political or religious reasons. FDA has always prided itself as a science based Agency, and for many of us who work here, that is a good reason to work for this particular Agency.

It infuriates me now to see that FDA has once again been foiled based on political considerations that should have NOTHING to do with the matter at hand.

Obviously, this is MY opinion, and has nothing to do with my employment or my employer’s opinions, public or private.
