MORNING AFTER PILL - Planned Parenthood's "Plan A"!

Randy Hall at CNSNews.com writes ...

A pro-life group is charging Planned Parenthood with having a secret deal with the manufacturer of the "morning after" pill that would enable the nation's largest abortion provider to make millions of dollars in profits selling Plan B kits.

If the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "gives a green light for over-the-counter distribution, Planned Parenthood stands to take in a minimum $100 million profit over a five-year period from sales of the Plan B 'morning-after' pill," said Jim Sedlak, executive director of American Life League's STOPP International.

"Such action from the FDA would allow Planned Parenthood to take maximum advantage of a sweetheart deal the organization arranged with Plan B's owner, Barr Pharmaceuticals," to buy the drug at below-market cost and undercut other pharmacies' retail prices, he stated.

Don't get the idea there was a joint press conference where the parties distributed slick press releases to a gaggle of journalistic geese. Naw!

Sedlak said the details of the business deal were exposed when internal emails of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) were made public during a California court case. These documents show how the organization worked out a secret arrangement with Barr Pharmaceuticals, the owner of the Plan B patent.

Selak takes the words right out of my mouth ...

This organization shamelessly pushes this drug, ignoring its deadly properties, just to advance its agenda and fatten its coffers.

My wife, a Sr. Pharmacy Tech, works down the street from a nest of liberal colleges (I think there are at least four within walking distance of one another), a couple have international reputations. She says her heart breaks when the freshmen ladies start running into one another on Saturday and Sunday mornings looking for the "morning after pill." There first question is, "Is this covered by my insurance?" The second question is, "Will my parents find out?" Yep, that's a woman's choice!

One of the released documents about the financial dealings was a 2004 email message from the PPFA vice president of medical affairs, Vanessa Cullins, M.D., to all Planned Parenthood affiliate CEOs. In the email, Cullins explained that Barr would offer the organization special pricing of $4.25 for the drug for five years.

STOPP's research shows that, on average, Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide charge $25 for the drug, while the average retail price at pharmacies is $32.

If they carry through on this deal and there's no ethical way to stop it, the Feds should dig a ditch between PP and the Uncle Sam's deep pockets ($250 million a year). Consider this ...

As Cybercast News Service previously reported, Planned Parenthood is performing more abortions than ever -- albeit in fewer clinics -- and relying increasingly on the revenue generated from the procedure.

Sedlak concludes rightly ...

Planned Parenthood's money-making scheme shows us once again this is not a benevolent health-care organization that cares about women and children, Rather, this is simply a multi-million-dollar business that profits from selling sex and killing pre-born human beings.

Take a peek at a couple of Dawn Patrol's posts Planned Parenthood Leaves a Pain-Wracked Woman on the 'Wire' and Feminists to Post-Abortive Women: If You Can't Say Anything Nice for a feel of how PP really cares for women's health.
