Plan B and It's Effects on America

Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has a sadly informative article on a federal court's decision to direct the FDA to make Plan B (commonly referred to as the morning-after pill) available to all women 17 years of age and older over-the-counter.
