Lofty Right-Wing lies
posted by bitchphd
I saw this post over at "The Loft," which is the weblog of "GOPUSA, a company dedicated to promoting the grassroots conservative philosophy." Apparently that includes "promoting lies."
Only, as we know, (1) Plan B is not abortion. (That's the SG link, in case you're squeamish about SG. A less complete description of how Plan B does and doesn't work is on this site here.) (2) "destroying the egg" (the egg?!?) is not what Plan B does; (3) your own damn body destroys eggs every month when you menstruate; (4) Plan B works within 72 hours of sex--when there cannot possibly be any fetus.
Of course their own site doesn't have comments, so I'm correcting them, for the record, here.
“Lower the risk of pregnancy” and “emergency contraception” is the sanitized language used by the mainstream media instead of “destroy the life of the fetus or destroy the egg in order to eliminate pregnancy.”The post then goes on to describe Plan B as abortion twice.
