Obama Administration's Plan B Appeal Denied By Federal Judge
Laura Bassett

A federal judge on Friday denied the Obama administration's request to delay his order that the Plan B morning-after pill be made available over the counter without age limits. The judge sharply rebuked the administration for appealing his decision, calling the move politically motivated, “frivolous," and "something out of an alternate reality."

The court battle over the morning-after pill began in December 2011, when Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius overruled the Food and Drug Administration's recommendation that the pill be made available over-the-counter to all ages. Sebelius said that girls under the age of 17 should continue to only have access to the pill with a doctor's prescription.

U.S. District Court Judge Edward Korman decided in April that Sebelius' decision was based on politics, rather than medical evidence. He ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift all age limits on Plan B emergency contraception and sell it on pharmacy shelves next to the condoms.
Instead of complying with the judge's order, the FDA lowered the age limit to 15, and the Obama administration asked Judge Korman to delay the implementation of his decision while they appealed it. Korman denied that request on Tuesday.

2. Maybe

Obama teaches his own daughters "abstinence" ?

4. Maybe

That would be my hope, but I'm realistic.

Sometimes I'd imagine that things go a little further than initially intended during the passions of a moment.
