Bogus analogy. The dosage isn't that much higher. Plan B is not an "abortion drug". It works in exactly the same way as any other contraceptive, that is: "primarily by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation). It may prevent the union of sperm and egg (fertilization). If fertilization does occur, Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb (implantation)." http://www.fda.gov/CDER/DRUG/infopage/planB/planBQandA.htm

That is, unless you think the government is lying to you, too. (BTW: yes, that is precisely the description of function that applies to all hormonal oral contraceptives.)

So, again, I ask: is the real goal of all you anti-Plan B types to prevent access to all oral contraceptives?

We really have to get away from the "if government is telling lies" element in our debates.

It's an irrelevant point. In fact, it's got quite a bit in common with those "your mamma...." challenges.

Can you see how Plan B is not *exactly* the same?
