William Donohue: "Our moral code is patently incoherent"
Bill Donohue comments on the decision by U.S. District Judge Edward Korman ordering the Food and Drug Administration to make the “morning-after” emergency contraception pill available without a prescription to girls of any age:
A 12-year-old girl in a New York City school cannot be given an aspirin by her teacher, even if she has a fever. The same girl cannot buy a large soda during lunchtime because Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decreed that it is not good for her. But she can be given a pill, unbeknownst to her parents, that could arguably abort her baby.
Neither Judge Korman nor Mayor Bloomberg has said what the aspirin-denying teacher should do if he sees a girl reaching for a large Coke to down her abortion-inducing pill.
This is what we’ve come to in our culturally schizophrenic society. Our moral code is patently incoherent, and the contempt shown for parental rights is astonishing. Hopefully, this imperial decision will be overturned.
On the same kind of incoherence: I've often wondered what will happen when marijuana becomes legal and the political activist pot-heads successfully get pot-smoking legalized in restaurants. My prediction is that cigarette companies will start putting small amounts of marijuana in the product to make them legal in eating establishment, thus setting up a "dope loophole".
People used to say that Marlboro did put some Buddha in the reds, but that was probably an urban legend.
