URGENT ACTION NEEDED: No to Plan B!

Related to our earlier Plan B post:

IFI ALERT

Recommended Action: Call the White House comment line immediately at 1-202-456-1111 to say "No Plan B!"

Or e-mail: comments@whitehouse.gov.

Background

The following message is from Paul Caprio, President of Family PAC, regarding the imminent decision by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on whether to allow over-the-counter sales of the abortifacient "Plan B" ("morning after") pill:

Urgent Message

The FDA on Monday sent a letter to Barr Laboratories asking them to submit a plan to distribute PLAN B over the counter.

1) Plan B is a dangerous abortifacient which has a double dose of progesterone which is used in routine contraceptives which are required to be prescribed by physicians.

2) Over the counter sale of Plan B will increase purchase by men attempting to coerce women into unprotected sex. Even sexual pedophiles would be able to purchase the drug.

3) Over the counter sales of Plan B have led to epidemic level increases in sexually transmitted diseases in Great Britain.

4) Medical experts tell us that it would be impossible to properly label the drug because there are so many conditions under which women should not take it.

To stop this healthcare train wreck from happening it is imperative that the White House receive many calls from you and your members saying, "No Plan B over the counter!"
