The News Virginian writes:
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.
Well, if Allen's evangelical supporters consider Plan B a form of abortion, they must consider all birth control pills a form of abortion, because they work exactly the same way.
Instead of calling on Allen to drop his support in a drug that actually prevents abortions and provides women with reproductive choice, they should've called on him to educate his supporters about what the drug actually does!
