Kathleen Sebelius lets us down after all

First she's getting off Air Force One with Presdident Obama here in town, headed to Osawatamie, Kansas for a big speech and I'm thrilled, next thing you know, there's this, today: Teenage Girls Will Still Need A Prescription For 'Plan B' WASHINGTON (AP) — "In a surprise move with election-year implications, the Obama administration's top health official overruled her own drug regulators and stopped the Plan B morning-after pill from moving onto drugstore shelves next to the condoms. The decision by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius means the Plan B One-Step emergency contraceptive will remain behind pharmacy counters, as it is sold today — available without a prescription only to those 17 and older who can prove their age." How disappointing. There's almost no other conclusion you can come to but that this was done for political, election year reasons. Proof? "It was believed to be the first time that the HHS has publicly overruled an FDA decision." You let us down, Madam Secretary, you let us down.
