Plan B
Plan B, also called the “morning after pill” is an emergency contraceptive. Some pharmacists have refused to stock and fill the prescription, citing ethical reservations, causing the AMA to affirmatively state its support for the contraceptive and urge pharmacists to sell it and for the FDA to allow over-the-counter distribution. A partial victory was achieved in 2006 to allow OTC dispensing without a doctor’s note for those over 18 years of age. However, some pharmacists continued to refuse to fill the prescription, including the owners of Ralph’s Thriftway pharmacy chain in Washington State in 2006, causing some to boycott the chain. Ralph’s was later found by the Washington State Board of Pharmacy to have violated the state pharmacy code in so doing. Ralph’s lawsuit to block the ruling reached the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which has now ruled against the pharmacy chain, saying ALL pharmacists must stock and dispense the contraceptive.
From the ruling:
“Any refusal to dispense — regardless of whether it is motivated by religion, morals, conscience, ethics, discriminatory prejudices, or personal distaste for a patient — violates the rules,” the panel said.

The Mormon church’s plaza walkway runs through the heart of downtown Salt Lake. It was originally a public sidewalk, and is still used as such by the city’s downtown residents. It is common to see couples holding hands and walking arm in arm as they stroll. This hasn’t been a problem, until recently. The church claims the couple was necking and groping. Video obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune doesn’t show this., but it does show Mormon security in action. Charges were dropped, and the city’s gay community is weighing in with a series of “kiss-ins.”

Here come the airport rectal exams!
Uh-oh. Now that a terrorist has tried unsuccessfully to blow up a Saudi prince with a bomb shoved up his ass, the TSA is obliged to perform rectal exams on every flier for the rest of time. After all, once a jihadi failed to blow up a plane with his shoe, we all needed to start taking our shoes off. Then some knuckleheads believed they could blow up a plane with energy beverages and hair gel, so now we have to limit ourselves to 100ml of all liquids and gels, unless they’re for babies or are prescription (because no mass-murderer would be so evil as to forge a doctor’s note, which, as every junkie knows, cannot possibly be forged).
Now we found someone who was made to believe he could kill people with an asshole bomb, and so it follows that the TSA will have to ban — or at least inspect — our assholes. They’re like opinions, you know, everybody’s got one. Except, of course, most of us got to keep our assholes to ourselves. Not anymore.
Let’s just be thankful that no one has yet convinced a suicidal murderer that he could blow up a plane with his mind, because once that happens, we’re all in for mandatory airport trepannations. Because, you know, you can’t be too safe. Every little bit helps. If an unhinged suicide bomber believes it’s possible, we must take it seriously. To do less would be irresponsible.
For years, I have made the joke about Richard Reid: “Just be glad that he wasn’t the underwear bomber.” Now, sadly, we have an example of one.Lewis Page, an “improvised-device disposal operator tasked in support of the UK mainland police from 2001-2004,” pointed out that this isn’t much of a threat for three reasons: 1) you can’t stuff a lot of explosives into a body cavity, 2) detonation is, um, problematic, and 3) the human body can stifle an explosion pretty effectively (think of someone throwing himself on a grenade to save his friends).
But who ever accused the TSA of being rational?

Seriously, the only person this hurts, more then the people around you, is the people who have to clean it up. Regular working people, please kids, grow the hell up.

Seriously, how can you legitimize any cause whose quartermaster gives out skull pins for your lapel / hat.
I may have spooged.
