This is totally crazy! I don’t know who the fuck Bush thinks he is. First thing I learned in Political Science 101 is that you cannot legislate morality. Which is what he’s trying to do.

We gotta get the word out for sure.

You mention the Pharms, but it’s the insurance companies that will benefit from this rule change. I would shrug this off more readily if health care workers (particularly pharmacists) haven’t already been refusing to fill scripts for birth control. It’s already happening. Bush doesn’t need Congressional approval and he’s really not going to lose anything if/when this goes through. He’s pandering to two groups- the religious right and insurance companies.

It’s already working and, honestly, I don’t think McCain would give two shits about it enough to change it after he’s in office. He’ll get just as much money from Pat Robertson-wannabes and the insurance lobby as he would from big pharma (which is still going to make big bucks w/ the little blue pill and other ED medications).
