From
Press Conference by the PresidentQ [by Washington Times reporter Bill Sammon]: Thank you very much. Mr. President, some pro-life groups are worried that your choice of FDA Commissioner will approve over the counter sales of Plan B, a pill that, they say, essentially can cause early-term abortions. Do you stand by this choice, and how do you feel about Plan B in general?
THE PRESIDENT: I believe that Plan B ought to be -- ought to require a prescription for minors, is what I believe. And I support Andy's decision.
E-mail or call the White House and tell them what you think about his statement earlier today.
Phone: 202-456-1111

Where did President Bush express opposition to Plan B being over-the-counter for women over the age 18?

Yeah, like Catholics have been really big Bush supporters anyway.If you bothered to read the article, you'd find this line by Fr. Euteneuer. The president must demonstrate a consistent respect for the sanctity of all human life or he risks provoking a great divorce with the conservative Catholics that compromise a large part of his support base. Human beings in the embryonic stage of development deserve equal protection under the law and the presidents position falls far short of that mark.

You are so right about this. I'm surprised my Catholic Church didn't have a vote for Kerry sign on the altar. I hate when people get side tracked about issues like this anyway. It is all about who Bush appoints to the bench. They are the ones making decisions that effect our lives. Carter's appointment of that awful judge that couldn't even write a well written decision puts all our lives in danger. People who won't vote for a Republican because of this decision or sit out and not vote will pay the price when a Hillary appointment makes a outrageous court decision.

Actions speak louder than words. The author here is caring more about what the president does - or doesn't do - than what he says.

Who ever thought Bush was a true "conservative"?
Look at his waffling on the issue of boarder security with Mexico. Look at his rubber stamp on pork belly projects and even the Katrina aftermath. He made massive compromises that out out of character for a true lean government conservative.
The irony with Bush is that he is hated among liberals world wide, but he is himself in reality no real hard line conservative. The man who is deemed as "unilateral" by Chirac/Schroeder and Co. in reality went to the UN for yet another resolution to meet the needs of a Coalition parter GB that requested this action. He didn't need it in the first place. Furthermore the motivation for the political initiative of an additional resolution was to meet multilateral political needs. Did Reagan ask for permission in Panama, Grenada, Libya or even the arming of Afghanis to fight the Soviets? No.
I think Bush is a good President in the bigger picture, but he is not at ALL the hard line conservative which the liberals make him out to be and I wish he were.

Personally I think people ought to use their limited time on earth convincing people not to have abortions, rather than wasting their energy trying to outlaw the procedure. Who cares if abortion is legal if nobody is doing it? |

Plan B is an abortifacient in some cases and allowing it to be distributed by prescription is wrong.
This is the way politicians double talk.
Plan B is promoted as birth control and as one GOP politico who is now the county chairman here in York County, PA put it some years ago. "I'm against abortion but I'm for birth control."
Wrong move for President Bush. He said he supports the plan for women over 18 to be able to get it. Its a microabortion drug. Wrong move Bush, Period.

Bush has had a lot of other actions that were pro-life. For example, appointing Alito and Roberts, pushing for a partial birth abortion ban, blocking fetal stem cell research, etc.
Why do those actions not count?

My source? Right down the street from you in Sacramento, Dan.
