And Bush, who is head of the executive branch, is responsible for the decisions that come out of it. The career bureaucrats at the FDA are extra-constitutional. They answer to him, not the other way around. His comments supporting this decision at best show a disregard for the facts of what EC is, or at best, his recklessness for not knowing the facts of what his own administration is doing.
Again, the Religious Right will classify this as "abortion" in order to keep their members in camp. It is not abortion. An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, and there is no pregnancy to terminate.
I disagree with the belief that life begins at conception. Medically, there is no evidence of this. A zygote (fertilized egg) is merely the organic chemicals neccessary to develop into an embryo.
And Bush is not responsible for this. The FDA Committee members, while appointed by the President, are there to make the best MEDICAL decision, not the best social decision. I don't want them running to the President to get the "OK" on drug approval.
