Day-After Pill Decision Prompts a Resignation

Another decent, principled person resigns over the obscenity of politics trumping women's health care. Women are to be vessels of future ReThugs only.

"'I can no longer serve as staff when scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated and recommended for approval by the professional staff here, has been overruled,' wrote Wood, who also was assistant commissioner for women's health. 'The recent decision announced by the Commissioner about emergency contraception, which continues to limit women's access to a product that would reduce unintended pregnancies and reduce abortions, is contrary to my core commitment to improving and advancing women's health.'"
