Not so fast, Agnes

I, too, was mighty pleased to see President Obama defend Planned Parenthood and condemn the state laws that are an assault on women's rights but..........

now we have this...

Obama Administration Appeals Ruling On Morning-After Pill

1520
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Wednesday appealed a federal judge’s order to lift all age limits on who can buy morning-after birth control pills without a prescription.
In appealing the ruling, the administration recommitted itself to a position Obama took during his re-election campaign that younger teens shouldn’t have unabated access to emergency contraceptives, despite the insistence by physicians groups and much of his Democratic base that the pill should be readily available.

So...whatcha think?   Is Obama on our side or not?  Why is his administration even getting involved?

The story goes on to say that the President is heavily influenced by being the father of two school age daughters.  I think as President he should be more influenced by the "insistence by physicians groups...that the pill should be readily available."
