Nine women protesting the Food and Drug Administration's position on the emergency contraceptive Plan B were arrested yesterday when they blocked entry to the agency's Rockville headquarters.
The women, part of a noisy protest in favor of making the morning-after pill available without a prescription, were taken away by officers of the Department of Homeland Security and charged with disorderly conduct.
Nine women blocking a doorway at the FDA? And this is a job for Homeland Security? This is the kind of high-profile collar that those elite terror-busters plan to point to when they ask Congress for their next budget increase?
Pardon our mystification, but you see, we couldn't find a single mention of the Department of Homeland Security here --
And he goes on. And on. About perhaps genuine threats about which DHS did absolutely nothing. Go read.
Do I detect a faith-based, or perhaps Big-Pharma-bottom-line-based, bias as to what constitutes a threat to our national security? Jeezus, what a bunch of morons.
