It's all about the ideology

The National Pro-Life Action Center is angry with Bush over his implied support for Plan B as an over-the-counter drug. But their rationale fails the most basic test of logic.

Stephen G. Peroutka, Esq., NPLAC chairman, stated:

"President Bush’s implied support of OTC status for the abortion-causing drug Plan B is a betrayal of the pro-life principles he claims to support. If this dangerous drug is made available over-the-counter, it will give adult male predators another weapon in their arsenal against young women.

"I agree wholeheartedly with Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics, Inc., when he states: 'Granting Plan B over-the-counter status will usher in a golden age for those who seek to sexually exploit young girls. If sales of Plan B were tracked for the first five years of OTC sales, I guarantee that the #1 purchaser will be adult men. The pro-choice agenda is now becoming a get-out-of-jail-free card for men who prey upon underage children for sex.'"

Essentially what they are saying is that there are legions of men just waiting for Plan B to be made available OTC so that they can then start preying on young girls. Implied in their argument is that Plan B not being available OTC is preventing child rape, which is absurd.
