Pharmacies must fill Plan B prescriptions!!

The undereducated throughout Washington state shudder in fear.

After the Board of Pharmacy decided last year that pharmacists could ignore their training and job descriptions and prevent women from receiving the Plan B emergency contraception, rational people around the state rebelled. Loudly. In very large numbers. Using, you know...reason. They of course didn't stick with the decision and Chris Gregoire pushed them down the right road. Today, they voted to require pharmacies to fill lawful prescriptions no matter what individual pharmacists have been told by their pastors.

Plan B in short:

Sold as Plan B, emergency contraception is a high dose of the drug found in many regular birth-control pills. It can lower the risk of pregnancy by up to 89 percent if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

So, as you can see, it prevents unwanted pregnancies, and the resulting abortions, by actually blocking conception. (More on this later)

The "problem":

Some critics consider the pill related to abortion, although it is different from the so-called abortion pill RU-486 and has no effect on women who already are pregnant.

Some critics consider the pill related to abortion. Honestly, I'm so fucking sick of American legislative policy being driven by a group of people who willfully avoid education for themselves and their children, lest science or 'proof' disturb their chosen set of beliefs. I'm speaking, of course, of the goal-driven zealots I've mentioned in the past.

Look, for the GDZ reading this who don't comprehend the issue and just reflexively equate any woman's decision about their body with abortion, here's a primer:

* Abortion works like this: First, one must concieve. A fetus must be present. Then, development of the fetus is terminated. I'm not going into great detail about the procedure, true, but this is the basics.

* Plan B works like this: It prevents conception.

Without conception, there can be no abortion. Hence, Plan B cannot possibly in any rational world be equated to abortion! It's truly difficult to fathom how anyone can be so dense as to not follow this, but the goal-driven zealots running today's American Christianity-like product are making every effort to prevent their followers from gaining any, whatcha callit...knowledge or reasoning skills.

You goddamn GDZ retards are so blinded by your fear that other people are having sex or fucking learning something that you'd rather your kids be exposed to cancer unnecessarily than receive a vaccine that can prevent it (HPV - another post, another day) because NOT getting debilitating STD's might tempt you to fuck strangers wildly, and you're so goddamn blinded by your abortion-quest that you'd block access to something that will reduce the need for abortions because you don't understand the difference between conception and a vagina with some semen in it.

Please - I'm begging you - for the good of all Americans, please put your bible down a couple times a day and read a fucking science book so you can navigate your way through the world we all have to live in without hurting other people.
