DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

FDA weighs putting Plan B morning-after pill on drugstore shelves

Washington Post
The federal government is grappling with the explosive question of whether to let anyone of any age buy the controversial morning-after pill Plan B directly off drugstore and supermarket shelves without a prescription. The Food and Drug Administration has until Wednesday to respond to a request from the drug's manufacturer to make the pill as easy to get as toilet paper and toothpaste, a move pushed by some doctors, health advocates, family-planning activists, members of Congress and others to help women prevent unwanted pregnancies.

FDA revisits safety of newer birth control drugs

Townhall

Birth control drugs that were heavily promoted as having fewer side effects and the ability to clear up acne and other hormonal bothers are under new scrutiny from safety regulators. Research suggesting that newer birth control formulations are more likely to cause blood clots than older drugs has prompted the Food and Drug Administration to consider new safety measures in meetings later this week. The increased risk is slight but significant because blood clots can cause heart attacks, strokes and blockages in lungs or blood vessels, which can be fatal.

Planned Parenthood thinks religious liberty isn't as important as their birth control agenda

Bound4life

Planned Parenthood only wants you to have a choice when it matches its definition of what choice is. The most recent example is in this story where Planned Parenthood has called for a removal of a religious protection clause from a birth control bill in Florida. Not only does Planned Parenthood think that all women should be given free birth control with no co-pays whatsoever, even though 1) Most forms of hormonal birth control are abortifacient and 2) almost everyone even with great health insurance has a co-pay for any normal medical visit or prescription.
