FDA Officials and their Faith-based Dirty Tricks
How they sabotaged the Approval of OTC Morning After Pill
*
You can depend on them to follow the leader; the Bushies are ever mindful of the need to keep the conservative Christians--the self-appointed guardians of our morals-- happy. The Washington Post report by Marc Kaufman confirms what was previously mentioned in media...that the FDA, without any reasonable grounds, withheld approval for sale of the morning after pill over the counter. "The Government Accountability Office report said the apparent involvement of McClellan and other top officials was one of four unusual aspects of FDA's handling of the politically sensitive decision. The investigators reported that several key FDA officials told colleagues that the application to allow over-the-counter sales of the emergency contraceptive would be rejected months before the decision was announced." Almost like the decision to go to war long before the drum beat was orchestrated.
