Speaking of dishonest. Have you ever heard of the Clintons? I wonder what she would charge to rent the Lincoln bedroom?

I wonder if the energy industry ever donated money to Bush. Golly gosh.

God, this is so stupid. Particularly stupid because it's REALLY, REALLY great that Plan B is available and subsidized. It reduces rates of abortion and unwanted pregnancy. And this column is a crock of poop to begin with: Plan B is not an abortifacient by most definitions (including medically).

Oh, and this isn't reporting, it's commentary. It's dishonest to label it as news.

[...] Barr Laboratories, maker of the emergency contraceptive pill Plan B, which also functions as an abortifacient.

As far as I have read, there is no conclusive evidence that this actually happens. It's just theorized. And even if those theories are correct, there are many who would argue that an pre-implantation zygote is not a viable human being. Note that if one claims "Plan-B" is an abortifacient, then one must think that all contraceptive pills are abortifacients, since it's the same stuff, just at different dosages.

I am glad the experts in phamacology chimed in. People like the first poster would blame the media for Hillary's behavior even if she (remember Vincent Foster) committed murder. She loves you as much as she loved Socks the cat. Not much. Just as much as Stalin loved Russians.

That is too bad that this post is full of false information.

Plan B is NOT an abortifacient. It is the same hormones as regular birth control pills, and has NO effect if a woman is already pregnant. RU-486 is the abortion pill - not Plan B.

Way to spread lies, dumbass.

This article lost all credibility when it stated that Plan B functions as an abortifacient. Not true! Legally and medically, a pregnancy begins at implantation, after which Plan B is ineffective. I wonder if the author's other assertions are also as devoid of validity? Probably....

Still, this is the first I’ve heard of Planned Parenthood’s sweetheart deal on Plan B distribution.

Sweetheart deal? Sure it's a big markup, but it's not like they're selling them by the hundreds every day. Lets assume that the average office has 2 people on staff, each making $10/hr (probably a low estimate on both number and pay rate). They would have to sell one Plan B pill per hour just to cover payroll. Assuming the doctor spends about 30 minutes per patient, then every other patient at Planned Parenthood would have to be buying Plan B. I don't think this is a cash cow for them.

A pro-life group’s survey of Planned Parenthood clinics found an average retail price of about $25

Which is about what they charge for regular contraceptives, are we sure this pro-life group was pricing Plan B, and not just contraceptives in general? I'm sure they don't have any kind of agenda to justify fudging their data or anything, I'm just saying, it's an odd coincidence.

Wow -- she plays the Washington game just like every other politician.

Can't you come up with anything better then this.

Another non-story. Did Hillary create the deal between Barr and PP?

Considering how eager the media is for me to vote against Hillary, she must be doing something right.
