George Allen Plays Both Sides

The word two-faced often comes to mind when I think of Virginia Senator and probable Republican presidential candidate George Allen.

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.

    Two-faced or hedging his bets?

    Correction:

    That’s George Felix Allen Jr.

    Or, if I may, perhaps George Allen is that rare pro-lifer who understands that what the morning-after pill does is not the same thing as an abortion.

    bd, even if he is that “pro-lifer”, is his constituentcy able to make that distinction?

    Pro-life is a politically correct joke.

    They claim to love the unborn but have no complaints about killing a live baby (Sun Hudson) in Texas against the mother’s wishes.

    Maybe Allen has the same broker as Ned Lamont. You know, the one who bought Walmart stock for Mr. “I don’t do a lot of shopping.” Wow Ned, those laser scanners are really cool, aren’t they?
