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.

"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. "

So if someone would have killed my zygote (fertilized egg), where would I be? Would I still be here? Life begins at conception. "Plan B" or EC is an abortafacient.

Indeed the FDA is there to make medical decisions, but that cant be seperated from medical ethics and respect for life. That is the very purpose of medicine. The president has a 5th Amendment obligation to ensure respect for life from the executive branch of the federal government. He is responsible.
