There’s plenty of good Catholic commentary out there in regard to the fiasco that is —Plan B—.

For anyone unfamiliar, Plan B is a high dose contraceptive that basically performs an abortion. In a few cases it prevents the release of an egg —“ acting as a real contraceptive, but in most cases it simply changes a woman’s body chemistry such that an already fertilized egg —“ a human being —“ cannot be implanted in the uterus. The baby is killed —“ thus abortion.

In the realm of commentary, the Young Fogey nails the fact that Plan B —“ taking door number two —“ makes life so much easier for men and continues to objectify women. Hey honey, had a great time last night, but it’s your responsibility.

He also has a link to an article on the fertility gap. Check it out.

Fr. Martin Fox highlights the political angle, noting the Bush administration’s hypocrisy. After all, the Bush administration is focused on its own self-serving ends. If a few dead bodies, babies, etc. are needed to get where we want to be, so be it. Do you think it might be an election season ploy —“ shilling for votes among the self-serving conservative fence sitters?

First Things has some good insights as well, especially as regards the over-the-counter sales of this drug (it shouldn’t be available at all —“ so this just adds personal heath risks to an already immoral situation, compounding the immorality).

Today’s award for shrill screaming goes to the head of Planned Parenthood. In her appearance on Good Morning America she demanded that these high dose drugs be made freely available to —“ children. She demands that eleven year old girls be allowed to head on down to CVS and purchase drugs – nooooo problem. Of course her shrill demands were preceded by the gloating of Hilary Clinton. Hurray for us —“ we can stack up more bodies than Bush and his gang of warmongering clowns.

God have mercy on us.
