Choking on Irony... or is it Hypocrisy?
The two taste so alike?
Kurt Michael, chair of the Augusta County Republican Party, told us on Friday why he was such a fan of U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va.
“Character of that level is not found in other people,” he said, referring to Allen, who is running for re-election against Republican-turned-Democrat Jim Webb.
We are troubled, however, that Allen is profiting off a drug that many of his evangelical supporters consider a form of abortion. Allen is staunchly pro-life yet owns stock in Barr Laboratories, makers of Plan B, or the morning-after contraceptive pill, according to his financial disclosure report.
Taken within 72 hours of intercourse, Plan B prevents pregnancy.
It seems hypocritical to oppose a woman’s right to choose while investing in a drug that does just that. Allen should dump his Barr stock.
