In response to the Obama Administration making Plan B available over the counter for women of any age, conservative talking head and woman voted most likely to have been a man in a former life - Laura Ingraham - said the following on Fox News Tuesday morning:
"These girls can't get their ears pierced, they can't take an Advil at school without parental permission. Yet, they can go into a pharmacy in this Brave New World of women's equality and - quote - reproductive health and get a morning after pill."
She also said this reversal by the Obama Administration would be "a good deal for pedophiles" as well as "men who want to abuse women."
So, if a pedophile or an abusive man rapes a woman, Ms. Ingraham would prefer that this woman not take the morning-after pill and increase the odds that she has an abortion than to take the morning-after pill and decrease the odds of having an abortion? For a woman that is so anti-abortion, I find this to be perplexing. What, does she feel if a woman is raped and takes the morning-after pill, this will allow the pedophile or abusive man to get away with said rape? Does Ms. Ingraham know that if a woman is raped and goes to the emergency room telling the doctors such, she will be given a series of tests to try and identify the DNA of the rapist and will also be given the morning-after pill?
Even if a younger woman has consensual sex with a guy her age, taking the morning-after pill will sharply decrease the odds of her having an abortion. So, once again, why is it that Ms. Ingraham is so strongly against Plan B, as it's called? An increased use of contraception leads to a decrease in unwanted pregnancies and a decrease in abortions. If Ingraham was truly against abortion, I'd think she'd be all in favor of more access to contraception. That's what common sense and logic would dictate anyway. Unfortunately, it appears as if those two things left her a long time ago.
