The “morning after” pill is now available for minor 17-year-olds, to both females and males, without parental notification, right over the counter, says the FDA. That comes after the FDA has decided to accept a federal judge’s order lifting a ban on over-the-counter distribution of such drugs to that age group.

This is a victory or sorts for whoever came up with the recently popular ideology that claims to exalt "science over politics" or "medicine based solely on science." But while currently popular in neo-rationalist age of Obama, it amounts to a false ideology that trumps reality. Still, it is having an impact.

U.S. District Judge Edward Korman decided that President George Bush had let politics, not science, drive the decision to restrict OTC access to the contraceptive/abortifacient, Plan B. And he ordered the FDA to investigate whether all ages shouldn’t have access to Plan B. He can easily be labeled an activist judge.

The Associated Press story “FDA expands access to Plan B for 17-year-olds,” offered Plan B as a contraceptive that would not “interfere with an established pregnancy,” which is partly true because it doesn’t allow a pregnancy to become established in the first place. But by implying “it works by preventing ovulation or fertilization,” they are perpetuating a lie, as that is a half truth at best. And with their next statement they use the meme for their biggest, fattest lie of all: “In medical terms, pregnancy begins when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the uterus.”

Australian researcher Professor Alan MacKay-Sim’s scientific and educated opinion is:

The international consensus of embryologists agrees with scripture in that life begins at fertilisation. It is my personal belief that at the moment of conception the embryo is 100 per cent human with all 46 human chromosomes and a fully functioning unique genetic code. To say that human life does not begin at conception is a bit like saying that a train journey from Cairns to Brisbane begins at Townsville. The alternative is to try to guess when human life begins by a number of inexact measures.

Once you believe that a life is not a life at conception, you are like a lifeboat drifting on an ocean of moral relativity.

And that is the problem. That is why moral relativists and those completely without morals see no harm in handing out a contraceptive/abortifacient to teens. Allowing any debate with real scientific or empirical evidence on the risks, both physical and moral, would be far too damaging to their cause, so they legislate immorality instead.

Nowadays you can get strip-searched in school for allegedly having an aspirin, but you can get a contraceptive/abortifacient OTC any old time you want. Males, who also have access to the product, can easily mask being found out in cases of statutory rape, as they have the evidence evacuated from the body of their victim.

In the present soulless, godless, amoral atmosphere in which we bring up teens, it’s okay to preach on the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, obesity, junk food, fast driving, etc., but we hand them condoms and when they become pregnant or have “unprotected sex,” we give them easy access to products that can kill their conceived babies.

This is truly politics over science, over morality, and over the Commandments of God.
