Now that whacky Judge Korman has removed the morning after pill, Plan B or Plan B One-Step from pharmacist purview altogether, it might therefore be treated by the pharmacists as an unhealthy thing, not to be sold in pharmacy environments at all. There are various over the counter products which are regarded by us to be ineffective and/or deleterious quack remedies, not worthy of being associated with any health care practice. Tobacco, ma huang (Ephedra sinica), and bitter orange have been deleted from the stock of pharmacies for health reasons. Many pharmacists have relegated homeopathic remedies to the trash heap, on account of the infinitesimal chance that the recipient might be ingesting or applying an active medicinal ingredient.
The levonorgestrel in Plan B (U.S.) and Levonelle (U.K), is likely the least reliable hormonal birth control drug on the market. It’s less than 60 percent effective per use, and is in a race with ulipristal acetate, or Ella, to the bottom. Repeated reliance on this drug is likely to soon result in pregnancy, with the embryonic baby clinging to life, awash in an unbalanced mix of hormones. Might not pharmacists be doing their patients a favor by telling them that this drug is too much of an unreliable, (and unethical) mess to be used for birth control?

Life Dynamics and Jill Stanek: Groundbreaking Legal Means to Stop Child Predators
As many pro-lifers know, Jill Stanek has joined with Life Dynamics to report news on the life issues. She’s now reporting on a groundbreaking push by Life Dynamics to hold the abortion industry accountable for concealing the sexual abuse of minors.
This blog has repeatedly referred to the first study, done more than 10 years ago by Life Dynamics, which revealed that over 90 percent of abortion clinics, who were called by an actress portraying a 13 year old girl with 22 year old boyfriend, showed a willingness to flout the laws requiring reporting of suspected sexual abuse of minors. Many of these abortion clinics even provided the methodology to conceal the sexual abuse.
Now Life Dynamics has mailed CDs to 53 thousand personal injury attorneys to educate them on the state laws pertinent to this issue, and the possibility of bringing suit against school officials, health care professionals and clinics which provide services to minors who have been sexually abused by adults, and fail in their legal requirement to report such abuse to the state.
Jill Stanek reports that Mark Crutcher’s phone at Life Dynamics has been ringing incessantly ever since launching this campaign.
Your friendly Pharmer suggests that further rich ground for the lawyers exists and that fear of litigation can dissuade retail pharmacies from stocking Plan B and Ella.
The government can force retailers to sell these drugs to the sexual predators, only if they stock the drug.
In the future, lawsuits might be the tool to stop the government from forcing retailers to stock these drugs. None of the businesses could survive a group of civil lawsuits for aiding sexual predators.
Currently good target states for this kind of litigation are Washington, Oregon and of course, New York. The large retail pharmacy chains would run screaming to the State Boards of Pharmacy for relief from the governments requirement to sell these drugs to minor females and their rapists.

Perhaps the Muslims Complained about OTC Morning After Pills
……… the “Justice” Dept. (that entity which is run by Eric Holder) is appealing Judge Edward Korman’s decision to sell Plan B One-Step and the generic 2 pill version over the counter with the condoms and the tubes of lube.
Feds say that the judge overstepped his legal authority in usurping the position of the FDA.
Your friendly Pharmer thinks that only some words from the Muslims could have induced this Obama administration to fight for any kind of age restrictions on the purchasing of the morning after pill.

Non-news: FDA Approves Morning After Pills for Girls 15 and Up
FDA has approved Plan B One-Step, the morning after pill, for girls as young as age 15.
U.S. District Court Edward Korman had previously ordered the drug to be placed over the counter, and sold with no age restrictions whatsoever.
This present FDA decision is related to the prior application of Teva for FDA approval of over the counter sales to girls aged 15 and older, and not to Korman’s decision.
Expect the Judge to prevail (and establish the FDA to be an agency without authority). The leftists will continue to complain that 15 year olds do not carry proof of their age when they go shopping, and that younger girls should be weened from their mother and be made sexually available shortly thereafter, with birth control fully accessible to them along with chewable children’s vitamins.
Realistically, most of the morning after pills placed out on the shelves, as the judge demanded, would be stolen, not purchased, so the worry about a need for proof of age is a moot issue.

Federal Judge Places Morning After Pill over the Counter Without Age Restriction
Your friendly Pharmer came home from work this morning to a message from a Reuter’s reporter, asking for comment on this story. Lacking real information, there was not much to do but comment on the inappropriateness of medically uneducated people, making decisions on matters in that field, and give information on the liabilities of the drug, particularly in teens and adolescents. Naturally, the reporter garbled the message.
Naturally, Pharmer thinks that a judge has no business ruling on whether a drug should be considered safe enough for over the counter sales, (unless he would perhaps rule simply on whether the FDA should exist or not ;-) .
It appears that Judge Edward Korman of the Eastern NY division of the Federal court has made two decisions on this issue. One of them impinged on dropping the age to 17 to obtain Plan B One-Step without a prescription. The actual decision is HERE.
The 2nd and current decision, which resembles a temper tantrum in style, further loosens the restrictions, and has countermanded Kathleen Sebelius’ Dec. 2011 decision to limit over the counter sales to girls under 17 years of age. Now it appears that the FDA is ordered to allow general sale of Plan B One-Step over the counter within the next 30 days, “without point of sale or age restrictions”. Judge Edward Korman has made a pretty good argument for completely eliminating the FDA, since its decisions are moot, and may be overturned at any time by a medically uneducated Federal Judge.
So far, only Plan B (levonorgestrel) is being addressed in this decision. Ella is excluded from consideration. Korman’s one-man usurpation of FDA regulatory functions cedes only the label requirements and the ability to regulate the sale of of the older 2-pill version, Plan B, back to the agency.
The FDA will have to generate mega-reams of paperwork to address these and other momentous decisions, such as whether to re-categorize hydrocodone as a CII controlled substance. They have minutiae to manage, and certainly will not have time to appropriately address the rampant and unprecedented drug shortages which are causing medical errors and deaths in our hospitals and communities.

Comment on HHS Mandate Before April 8
Get on over to the AUL Website to link up to the HHS rules commentary section of the government regulations site. You can drop your low opinion of the HHS mandate on the Obama administration. AUL makes it easy for you by supplying some comments for you to use.
Thinking that a more global DUMP was called for, Pharmer wrote some delicately worded and diplomatic commentary ;-) The most salient portion is in blue, but feel free to use any part if you have a need for speed.
“Since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is neither protective nor affordable, it is more accurately called Obamacare.
Much of the Obamacare concept is conveyed in Obama’s address to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007. Despite efforts to modify Obamacare and the HHS mandate to reduce the killing component, it will always revert, because killing is at the heart of this concept of health care. Killing is also at the heart of the complete lives system which defines how Obamacare addresses lifelong healthcare. As government mismanages health care, resources become increasingly rare, necessitating the sacrifice of older people to preserve the lives of younger or “more useful” people.
Obamacare and the HHS mandate remain corrupt and immoral at their core. Both are a violation of human rights, most particularly the Right to Life which justified the founding of this nation, and the First Amendment rights which allow us to believe and behave in a civilized manner.
The HHS mandate most immediately enslaves those who respect human life, and forces them to service those who assert a legal authority to kill humans. Eliminating some modes of killing or excusing some social groups from the practice is not sufficient. The entire HHS mandate must be eliminated.
Individuals and groups should have the right to either deliver health care, or obtain health care in a manner which does not violate their right to refuse to kill any human organism.
As with any corrupt economic system, Obamacare will lead to exponential growth of the unregulated and non-taxable, black market, health industry which currently addresses the needs of our newest immigrants as well as our current drug shortages.
If we are able to eliminate Obamacare and the HHS mandate, perhaps we could more efficiently rectify the rampant drug shortages which are causing medical errors and deaths in our hospitals and communities.”
You have until April 8.. GET ER DONE!!!!!

Deep Down Inside, Naomi Wolf Has Longed for Strong Males
Feminist, HuffPo Blogger Naomi Wolf in Talks to Join Al Jazeera.
Yes it’s true, Naomi Wolf, as so many other old Feministas, is inexorably drawn towards those strong men in the Islamic world.
Pharmer has always felt that the Feminazi’s were sorely missing the image of a strong man in their lives, from childhood onward, and this led to their frustration and extremism. Naomi Wolf has, from time to time, popped up with indications of this frustration.
Her move to Al Jazeera is ZERO surprise to the this blogger, who is expecting more changes in Naomi’s external demeanor and attire. ;-)
The grrls will have to get used to the idea that in Islam, recreational abortion is frowned upon, and those strong men are the ones who dictate when and how the birth control is accomplished.

Wacky WaPo puts article on Reproductive Coercion under its ON FAITH heading
Doctors warn against ’reproductive coercion’ – The Washington Post.
Of considerable amusement is the placement of an article on reproductive coercion (which does not mention faith or religion) under the “On Faith” heading. Perhaps the WaPo editors could explain that.
The article goes on to explain the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists big concern that men might be coercing women to get pregnant by refusing to use condoms, inducing condom failure, or tugging out the IUD. It goes on to suggest means by which this can be thwarted, including having a stash of the not very effective morning after pills.
Would the ACOG like to include itself under this warning about reproductive coercion? ACOG and affiliates have been marketing pills and other birth control modalities to women, thereby eliciting massive changes in behavioral trends. Of extreme importance is the fact that the birth control methods which women are encouraged to rely on, are not nearly as effective in actual use as they are claimed to be in “perfect use”. This has lead to millions of unplanned pregnancies, and millions of abortions.
Reproductive coercion has been the result as the ACOG seemingly fails to acknowledge that a natural consequence of the kind of sex which makes babies is …….. BABIES!!!
It would be encouraging to see the ACOG and so-called women’s advocacy groups show a bit more interest in reducing sex slavery, sexual abuse of minors, coercion and incest, even though that might reduce the need for their services. Those golden handcuffs seem to be an impediment.

New HHS Mandate Amendment Still Violates First Amendment
Proposal to amend ObamaCare contraceptive rule met with skepticism | Fox News.
Kathleen (Cruella) Sebelius, has slightly broadened conscience exceptions in the HHS mandate. The new amendment still shows her desire to remove all of those who religiously object to paying for birth control, abortion and sterilizations, from the world of business. This is much worse than a status of dhimmitude for strict opponents of abortion, and would serve to force them out of the taxable portion of the U.S. economy. With this amendment, the administration shows that it is not serious about addressing the debt problem by allowing the INFLUX of tax dollars.
The HHS mandate remains a significant part of the many pronged effort by the Obama administration to remove the United States from its position as a world economic leader.

Call A Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance: Weld County, CO, Chooses not to Fund Emergency Birth Control
John Tomasic of the Colorado Independent, expresses his sadness (above) that Weld County is not providing the morning after pills to its family planning clinics.
The crux of the issue is that the social conservative politicians in Weld County don’t want to spend tax dollars on relatively ineffective birth control drugs, which can often operate through abortive mechanisms.
Tomasic and his ‘expert’ interviewee, Judith Schlay seemed disturbed that the politicians would have learned the multiple mechanisms of morning after pills via the internet. Tomasic says – go to the New York Times for your medical info, as he does. Old-timer Schlay says- go to the university library, etc.
Pharmer says that Pubmed is on the internet, and so is the information provided by the drug manufacturers to their regulatory boards. Schlay needs to update herself on the myriad sources of medical information. She might increase her depth of knowledge on the pharmacology of levonorgestrel and ulipristal acetate.
One thing we know for certain- It’s a giant, tax payer funded cash cow to be pounding expensive morning after pills into women, mostly during times when they couldn’t get pregnant even without the pill. More abortions can be sold if women come to rely on these birth control methods which demonstrate less than 60% reduction in pregnancy rate, in actual use. It’s not hard to find ‘reproductive health care experts’ who want to line their pockets with tax money.

Hobby Lobby Will Defy Obama HHS Mandate
The family of David Green, which owns the 500 plus Hobby Lobby stores, with 13000 employees are likely to incur a half billion dollar cost, while waiting for their challenge to the HHS mandate to be heard in court. Despite this huge financial threat to their company’s existence, the Greens have decided to adhere to their religious convictions, and defy Obama’s demand that they fund abortive forms of birth control for their employees.
Prayers for the success of David Green, his family and his company. They’re putting the commandments of God ahead of the commands of the most pro-abortion president in history.
If the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops had felt this strongly about God’s commandment to avoid willful killing, there would NEVER have been an HHS mandate at all!!

Sotomayor Refuses to Block Obama’s Morning After Pill Edict
Supreme Court Justice Refuses to Block Obama Morning After Pill Edict.
Obama’s appointee, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor refused to grant an emergency ruling blocking the effects of Obama’s HHS mandate on Hobby Lobby and it’s sister company, Mardel Inc.
She stated that while the legal requirements for an emergency ruling were not met, the companies may continue to pursue their lawsuits in the lower courts.
Attorneys for the government incorrectly deny the fact that the birth control drugs have abortive mechanisms of action. The government continues to pursue its interest in regulating the populations of its constituency by unethical and deceptive means.

Federal Court Temporarily Blocks HHS Contraception Mandate for Private Business Owner | CNS News
“This is a big #^@&(N deal”…as Joe Biden would say. A Federal court is blocking Obamanator’s HHS mandate for O’Brien Industrial Holdings, which operates several smaller companies: Christy Industrial Services, Christy Minerals Co., and Christy Refractories Co. The owner, Frank O’Brien is a Catholic, who wishes to adhere to his religious beliefs in operating his businesses.
The three judge panel of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a preliminary injunction which blocks the HHS mandates unconstitutional effects upon this privately owned company. Among the many lawsuits challenging the HHS mandate, this is the first decision rendered by a Federal appeals court.
Frank Manion of the American Center for Law and Justice is handling this case, which was first dismissed by a Federal district court judge before it was taken before the Eighth Circuit Court. The ACLJ has filed two other lawsuits against the Federal Government regarding the HHS mandate, and numerous Amicus briefs for other court challenges.

Sandra Fluke: Time Magazine ‘Person of the Year’ Finalist
TIME Honors Sandra Fluke as ‘Person of the Year’ Finalist.
That thirty-something Georgetown Student who had enough money for the 50,000 per year tuition at her upscale law-school, but who cried for public support of her birth control pills, could be Time Magazine’s person of the year!!
Pharmer might have been more sympathetic had Fluke cried for public support of her valacyclovir, clindamycin, metronidazole, ceftriaxone, azithromycin, doxycycline, benzathine penicillin, imiquimod, or whatever antiretroviral she might need in the future. After all, those are used to treat infectious disease states, which she might inadvertently obtain while plying her wares.
Time’s symbol of our times is a whining, useless, dysfunctional female, crying for tax support of her demand for recreational drugs and devices.
It must be the Year of the Parasite.
Will we also be expected to buy her personal massager, once she becomes so nastaaay that no guy will get near her?

Caution to People Who Rejoice over 2009 CDC Abortion Data
New CDC data shows bungled abortion reporting in 2009.
Everyone is all abuzz over the 5% reduction in abortions shown in the 2009 CDC data. Instead they should be digging a bit deeper to see if the data really represents reality. Some pro-lifers target the reporters who expected an increase in abortions due to the economy. It’s true that poverty for women rose in 2009 and continues to do so.
The CDC is only able to count reported abortions, and therefore the data is necessarily incomplete. State laws requiring abortion reporting to a central agency vary from non-existent to un-enforceable.
The opportunity to induce home abortions and have them completed at hospitals has increased. These events cannot be reported as abortions unless the mom admits to doing something illegal, or accuses someone else of doing something illegal to her. Internet commerce has made home abortion chemistry much more accessible than in the past. Therefore it is unlikely that any numbers reported by the CDC are available. More recently Ulipristal acetate (Ella) has become available with online prescribing, providing a newer home abortion option using accumulated doses.
It should be noted that even without the above consideration, the CDC data on surgical plus mifepristone abortion is not comprehensive.
So far the joyful articles reporting the CDC abortion data of 2009 did not mention the LIMITATIONS section of the report, part of which is quoted below. Note that the CDC only reports 65 -69% of the abortions which are reported by the Alan Guttmacher Institute. Read on:
“The findings in this report are subject to at least four limitations. First, because reporting requirements are established by the individual reporting areas (17), the collection of data varies, and CDC is unable to obtain the total number of abortions performed in the United States. During the period covered by this report, the total annual number of abortions recorded by CDC was 65%–69% of the number recorded by the Guttmacher Institute (12,59), which uses numerous active follow-up techniques to increase the completeness of the data obtained through its periodic national census of abortion providers (12). Although most reporting areas collect and send abortion data to CDC, this information is given to CDC voluntarily. Consequently, during 2000–2009, seven of the 52 reporting areas did not provide CDC data on a consistent annual basis, and for 2009, CDC did not obtain any information from California, Delaware, Maryland, or New Hampshire.***** In addition, whereas most of the reporting areas that send abortion data to CDC have laws requiring medical providers to submit a report for every abortion they perform to a central health agency, in New Jersey and the District of Columbia, medical providers submit this information voluntarily (16). As a result, the abortion numbers these areas report to CDC are incomplete.††††† Moreover, even in states that legally require medical providers to submit a report for all the abortions they perform, enforcement of this requirement varies (60). Consequently, several other reporting areas tend to provide CDC with incomplete numbers.”

ObamaCare Uses planned parenthood as its Sex Education Provider
Planned Parenthood will be the organization, charged by the government, to teach sex to kids.
It bothers many people that pharmaceutical manufacturers spend 20 percent of their revenue on advertising to consumers and prescribers.
Why does it not bother them that planned parenthood, the tax funded abortion and birth control purveyor, is used to educate the kids in school, on behaviors that insure need for that organization?
Why also does it bother people that churches give an opinion on a social issue at election time, but it does not bother people that both Kathleen Sebelius, and Cecile Richards-of planned parenthood were out stumping for Obama.
