We don't need no stinkin science...

Audit Faults FDA on Morning-After Pill :

A congressional audit released Monday cited "unusual" steps in the FDA's initial rejection of over-the-counter emergency contraception, including conflicting accounts of whether top officials made the decision even before scientists finished reviewing the evidence.

Rightwing ideologues in the Food and Drug Administration were rejecting Plan B pills before the scientific data was reviewed???

How terribly shocking.

I wonder if these are the same guys who are still trying to flip off Darwin after all these years.

Or maybe they just flunked high school biology.
