Our country recently took another step towards
totalitarianism, once again having one person make a decision that is contrary
to what the majority of Americans support.
This latest insult-to-democracy came in the form of Plan B,
which is known as the “emergency contraceptive” that is available to women 17
years and older. This pill has only been kept behind locked glass and required
a clerk to get it, hopefully after checking I.D. Now the age has been reduced
to 15 years, and the drug is being moved to the store shelves, right next to
condoms. The plan is to make buying Plan B as easy as buying Aspirin (meaning
no parental consent is required).
To the President’s credit, he is contesting part of this
controversial ruling. According to the White House there is not yet enough
evidence to decide if the drug is “safe and appropriate for younger girls.”
Unfortunately, the ruling is being contested for the wrong
reason. The question is not whether it is safe for 15-year-old girls, because
we know that it is not safe for the
young girls and boys that might be developing inside the 15-year-old girls.
Which brings me to the real issue, and that is abortion.
Plan B is not a contraceptive; it is an abortion pill. We need to pay close attention
because abortion-supporters have subtly redefined the terms.
Contraceptives are
supposed to prevent conception. Science shows us that life begins at
conception.
But those in favor of abortion refer to pills that allow
conception and then prevent implantation as contraceptives as well. This is
just not true.
Plan B is a pill that is taken when a girl believes that she
might become pregnant because no
contraceptive was used in advance. This means that she is relying on Plan B
to prevent the conception from implanting, which is the earliest form of
abortion.
Plan B was Plan A all along. Abortion has never been about
the health of the mother, and while comments about coat hangers are used to
support their cause, the real objective is to make abortion easily accessible
to anyone who wants it.
As I have stated before, abortion is big business. Planned
Parenthood doesn’t make money by encouraging women to put their baby up for
adoption; they make money by savagely ripping the baby limb from limb. They
don’t make money by performing mammograms, like they always tell us, because
they actually preform no mammograms, but
only give referrals. The more abortions, the more money they make.
In order to increase their business, they fundraise and
donate to politicians that will help increase their business. They give
millions of dollars to totalitarian “public servants” who make unilateral
decisions to make abortion quick and easy, and if taxpayers can pick up the
tab, that is an added bonus.
We need to see this for what it is, and that is money-hungry
people who will literally kill for a few more dollars. Abortion is their Plan
A, and now they are using Plan B to do it.
