Appeals Court Slaps Down Obama on Contraception Restrictions
They sided with the lower court, and ordered the Obama administration to make emergency contraception (AKA Plan B) over the counter:
The Obama administration has in part lost its push to sustain age limits on over-the-counter sale of Plan B One-Step, commonly known as the morning-after pill.This is a very well deserved smackdown.
After a lower court recently slapped down all age limits, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday granted the Justice Department's request for a stay on one-pill variants of emergency contraceptives but denied it for two-pill variants, declaring that the appellants have "failed to meet the requisite standard."
The Obama administration's behavior in this mater has been craven, dishonest, and hypocritical. They have taken what should be a core value, and used it as a political football.
