"But it's insane to compare to side effects of Plan B, a hormone that's EIGHT TIMES the dosage of the prescription birth-control pill, with aspirin." Maybe. But Plan B is intended to be used in single doses and not particularly often. So the side effects and patterns are going to be different than something which is used more often.

LOL, and that isn't a social agenda? This isn't bird flu, dude. Social? You said political. I agree that it's a social issue. Yes, there's that aspect too. But it's insane to compare to side effects of Plan B, a hormone that's EIGHT TIMES the dosage of the prescription birth-control pill, with aspirin. The FDA says it's perfectly safe. Their medical panel recommended 23-4 for approval. What do you know that they don't? You can abuse anything....plan b and aspirin. The only reason you're doing that is to distort the issue just to pursue your social and political agenda. Here's a tool with the potential to abate a truly traumatic social issue. There is no other agenda. When you oppose such a measure, you make yourselves look political...you are the ones who distort the issue. Because if you're truly honest with yourself, you'd see a big problem with women all across America taking Plan B as a regular and mundane form of contraception. The FDA's own panel disagrees with you. Why should Plan B take a shortcut? Because you liberals think handing out condoms in schools isn't enough? Because it gives WOMEN (not condomized men) the power to control their own reproductive function. You (falwell, dobson, and all the male dominated christian wingnuts) have NO say about it. Al

RE: "a hormone that's EIGHT TIMES the dosage of the prescription birth-control pill" I have news for you, getting pregnant may have about 10,000 times more dosage of estrogen than birth control has, I believe. This is why the risk for blood clots from estrogen is higher from pregnancy than from birth control. But I understand your point about educating teenagers on responsibility. What I don't understand is why the religious right tends to be against sex education.
