By any reasonable measure, this is truly the golden age for men who prey on underage girls for sex. Instead of referring to abortion as "a woman's right to choose," it would be more accurate to label it "the pedophile's get-out-of-jail-free card."
The first evidence of this was a Life Dynamics undercover investigation into America's growing epidemic of underage girls being sexually exploited by adult men. The results documented that family planning clinics associated with Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation are operating a nationwide pedophile protection ring. (Read the complete report at ChildPredators.com or call 1-800-800-LIFE for a free printed version.)
Since that report was made public, Life Dynamics has also found that the majority of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors in America are refusing to enforce the mandatory reporting laws that are being openly flouted by these Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation facilities.
Amazingly, the Bush administration continues to hand over hundreds of millions in federal dollars to Planned Parenthood every year despite that organization's participation in this pedophile protection racket. In fact, taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood is actually higher under Bush than it was under Clinton.
Meanwhile, congressional pro-aborts are aggressively blocking federal legislation that would prohibit minors from being taken across state lines for abortions. The Life Dynamics undercover investigation proved that in states with parental involvement statutes, men who impregnate minors are taking their victims to states that have no such laws and that Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation clinics are not only willing participants in this scandal, they encourage it. The investigation also proved that judicial bypass provisions in these parental involvement statutes are being routinely promoted by these same organizations as a way to circumvent state mandatory reporting laws.
Now, with the stated support of President Bush, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved over-the-counter non-prescription sales of Plan B, also known as "emergency contraception" or the "morning-after pill." Since March, radical pro-abortion Sens. Hilary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., have been holding up the confirmation of Dr. Andrew Von Eschenbach to head the Food and Drug Administration, and they vowed to continue blocking his appointment until Bush allowed Plan B to be sold without a prescription.
Obviously, the Bush administration would never admit that they caved to this pressure or that a back-room deal was cut. Those of us in the great unwashed masses are expected to believe it's just a coincidence that Clinton and Murray withdrew their hold on the nomination on the same day over-the-counter sales of Plan B were approved.
In an effort to placate those who said that easy access to this abortion-inducing drug would give pedophiles a way to help conceal their crimes, the FDA prohibited non-prescription purchases to girls under 18. But that was meaningless since the FDA also ruled that sales to men would be allowed. In other words, any statutory rapist can now just stroll into the closest drugstore and anonymously buy the chemical abortion he needs to hide the fact that he is raping a child. The odd part of this is that a spokesperson for the drug's manufacturer, Barr Laboratories, said that the company never requested that over-the-counter sales be extended to males since the drug is not taken by men.
Reacting to the concerns of conservative organizations about the potential association between pedophiles and Plan B, an FDA official, Dr. Steven Galson, said that the agency would monitor how Plan B is used and note any "prescription patterns" that emerge. He went on to assure the public that if changes are needed they will be made. Of course, Galson didn't bother to explain how the FDA is going to identify these "prescription patterns" given that there won't be any prescriptions.
In any event, while we wait for that mystery to be unraveled, let's consider the things we already know. For example, we know that among girls 15 and younger who get pregnant at least 60 percent are impregnated by adults. We also know that the highest STD rate in America is among girls 15 to 19 and that most of these girls get their STDs from older men.
So it does not seem like a big stretch to predict that statutory rapists are going to be a prime market for Plan B and that there will be a measurable increase in STDs among underage girls. As for this assurance that the FDA is going to monitor the sales and use of Plan B, if these predictions become reality it would be more rational to believe in the tooth fairy than to believe that either Barr Laboratories or the FDA is going to reveal it to the public or do anything to stop it.
Another interesting aspect of the Plan B approval is how the abortion lobby has reacted to it. For years, these people pushed over-the-counter sales of Plan B as the holy grail for reducing America's staggering teen pregnancy and abortion rates. Of course, this sales pitch ignores the fact that Plan B is itself an abortion, but we'll let that slide for the moment.
Right up to the day non-prescription sales of Plan B were approved, Planned Parenthood was saying that allowing such sales would prevent 1.5 million unplanned pregnancies and 800,000 abortions every year. However, on the day after FDA approval was secured, a Planned Parenthood spokesperson was quoted in an Associated Press article that Plan B "will not reach that potential." She attributed Planned Parenthood's new lower expectations on the fact that girls under 18 were not going to be allowed to obtain the drug without a prescription.
The problem with that explanation is that according to statistics released in June of 2006 by Planned Parenthood's research arm, the Guttmacher Institute, about 19 percent of all abortions are done on teenagers. (This includes 19-year-olds, but we won't quibble over that.)
What this means is that the FDA's age restriction cannot impact Planned Parenthood's original projections by more than 19 percent. Applying that formula, Planned Parenthood should now be crowing that Plan B is going to reduce unplanned pregnancies by 1,215,000 and abortions by 648,000 per year.
Of course, Planned Parenthood is making no such claim. After all, once Plan B was approved for non-prescription sales, its need to deceive the public no longer existed. Now their goal is to lower expectations so it won't be so obvious that they were lying the whole time.
Naturally, other "reproductive health care experts" are following Planned Parenthood's lead. Since the FDA's approval, the most common reaction from this crowd has been that the impact on public health, pregnancy and abortion from non-prescription sales of Plan B will be virtually nothing. James Trussell, director of the Office of Population Research at Princeton University, described it as being like a cork floating in the ocean. He said that the impact "... will be hard to measure because it will be so small."
Even the media is doing their part. In the previously mentioned Associated Press article, the reporter said that the effects of Plan B "could be negligible." He even cited a 2005 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association that found that increased access to emergency contraception had "no significant effect" on pregnancy rates. Not surprisingly, neither the media nor any of these "reproductive health care experts" were saying these sorts of things during the debate over whether to allow non-prescription sales of Plan B. It is now clear that they knew Planned Parenthood was lying, but like good little soldiers they kept quiet. In legal terms, it's called "deception by silence."
It is also interesting that while the "experts" and the media are now saying that the results of selling Plan B over-the-counter will be almost invisible, most seem to agree that its sales volume will be high. Call me cynical, but that certainly sounds like a confession that financial profit was the engine driving this train right from the start.
Some will counter that by claiming that Planned Parenthood has no financial dog in this fight since Plan B is only going to be sold at pharmacies. That is, of course, nonsense. You can bet the family farm that Planned Parenthood has already developed an aggressive political, legal, and marketing strategy for taking over the distribution of Plan B. Getting FDA approval for over-the-counter sales was just a necessary first step. Now that it's out of the way, phase two has begun and we don't need a crystal ball to know what's coming next. All we have to do is review the strategies Planned Parenthood used for the previous abortion pill, RU486.
As for today, Planned Parenthood has once again been caught lying through their blood-stained teeth, and their own actions prove it. They told one story to get Plan B approved for non-prescription sales, and the moment that approval became a reality they came up with a completely different story in an effort to cover their tracks. They also knew they could get away with it since their flunkeys and fellow travelers in the media never hold the abortion lobby answerable for anything they do or any lie they tell.
So as it always does, that job falls to the pro-life movement. The death merchants and pill pushers have now launched Plan C – the cover-up for Plan B – and our responsibility is to expose it.
Saddle up.
This is a real problem.

The editorials on WND are generally okay.
Somewhere along the line I missed Plan A. What is it?
how do you enforce cross-state abortion...check every female at the state line? Theres nothing wrong with the concept, but actually applying it...
I think standard birth control and/or abortion is plan A.
Why. In the hell. Does Planned Parenthood have GOVERNMENT FUNDING?!
How long before the cheerleaders show up?
Teenagers will be popping this like candy.
With the exception of the departments and duties of the federal government that are enumerated in the Constitution, I don't know why most government funding exists.
Everyone keeps his or her legs crossed.
Maybe they could put HIV drugs in it and call it plan B+.
Plan C....Plan D...Plan E...The Final Solution.
Why. In the hell. Does Planned Parenthood have GOVERNMENT FUNDING?!
Raising the question of why gay men care about birth control ...
Or actually having the baby. (Gasp!)
I honestly don't know how the Planned Parenthood staff can live their lives with a straight face.
Whenever there is a national disaster, every American pitches in. Even PP -- they offer "free" or reduced-cost abortions to women in need.
Think that one through. PP wants you to believe that a pregnant woman, willing to have her baby, all of a sudden -- because of the catastrophe -- decides that a baby is a burden. So, an emergency abortion is in order. Just like cancelling the order for the new roof on your New Orleans home, you cancel the delivery of the baby a few months hence.
No woman is that callous. I'd like to know how many women take PP up on their free emergency abortion offer.
They only do it for the publicity, of course.
Nauseating.
The way we are beign out-born by people who hate us, that is the best thing that could happen.
Tell it like it is brother!... : ) <<< me
From the article "In an effort to placate those who said that easy access to this abortion-inducing drug would give pedophiles a way to help conceal their crimes, .."
I think the same can be said of mandatory Hepatitis B vaccines for infants and school age children. Giving the vaccine to a child who is not at risk has been condemned by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Inc. This is part of what they wrote in response to Ohio's mandating the vaccine:
In the United States, hepatitis B is primarily an adult disease, and risk is highly dependent on lifestyle. Risk factors include: multiple sex partners, drug abuse, an occupation involving frequent exposure to blood, or having a hepatitis-B infected mother. The disease is not spread by casual contact. More than 99.7 percent of Ohioans are free of this virus. No Ohio school has ever reported hepatitis B transmission.
According to federal government statistics, serious adverse reactions to the vaccine-including 48 deaths-are reported three times as frequently as cases of hepatitis B in children under the age of 14...

Combined mandatory hepatitis vaccinations for children and easy access to Plan B abortificant truly is a Pedophile Protection Package.
IMO their definition of pedophile seems a little broad. Plan B will be appealing for the 18/19 year old boys and their 14/15/16 year old girl friends. I would hardly call that a pedophile, however, under the law the 18 year old would be a registered sex offender.
What Plan B does is tell junior high and high school kids that now they don't have to worry about pregnancy so long the person buying their booze will buy the pill too. For the truly liberal parents it will be easier than getting that pesky prescription for their promiscuous daughters.

The average age of a guy in a relationship with an underage girl is 24.
18 year-olds are not considered sex offenders. They have to be at least 19 to be prosecuted, and most prosecutors would not go after a teenager anyway. Anything that looks remotely like "puppy love' is going to be a political hot potato. They'd rather catch the guy who offers kid a lollipop to get into his car.
Along this line, I would like to let everybody know that the latest ruse is to claim that the federal rules known as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) overturned state laws on statutory rape and prohibits health providers from notifying parents of their children's sexual activities and health-related problems. That's the diametric opposite of the truth, which can be found at the HIPAA FAQ website. HIPAA specifically made itself subject to all state laws on parental authority, notification, and statutory rape.
