One B I forgot to add is Plan "B", also known as emergency contraception.
This has been in the news quite a bit lately and more often than not attached to a lot of misinformation. In reading more on the religious right's attack on contraception and abortion today I came accross this article

Which goes through a lot of what is happening. I can't resist posting this gem of a quote from the article:
The Religious Right's inside man at the FDA, their favorite medical expert, was Dr. David Hager, an OB/GYN who attempted to explain away his wife's accusations of anal rape by saying that he couldn't distinguish her anus from her vagina. Hager's influence is credited with forestalling FDA approval for emergency contraception the last time around, but with Hager's departure, Dr. Eschenbach might have his job cut out for him.

He couldn't distinguish between her anus and vagina? And this is one of our supposedly "Medical experts" running the FDA. I realy wonder sometime if the lambs of this country will ever wake up enough to see the wolves running among them, or more appropriatly, the wolves leading them.
