Plan B

It’s general pretty hard to offend my sensibilities, but I must admit that marketing RU-486 under the name Plan B seems in poor taste.

    Why is that? “Plan A” is contraception, they’ve been talking about it on NPR for days.

    What bothers you about the name “Plan B”?

    Honestly, I can’t put my finger on it. I think it has something to do
    with the implications for other stages in the process.

    Would partial-birth abortion be “Plan H” or something like that?

    Abstinence would be “Plan -A”?
