On the good side, Grey's Anatomy had Christina, the driven intern accept the resident's proposal. She returns the engagement ring, saying she "doesn't do rings" and that they'll be wealthy, so they can hire a wife. Yay for work-life balance and figuring out what works for them.
In the meantime, Veronica Mars is pissing me off. First of all, the episode is titled "There's Got to be a Morning After Pill." A girl says she was pregnant and got "slipped her a morning after pill, causing her to have a miscarriage." I am going to live-blog this. Otherwise I would just call Lisa during commercials and complain.
Okay, A) the morning after pill does not cause miscarriages.
B) The student said she got slipped RU-486, which is not the same thing.
C) You can't get SLIPPED Ru-486. While the FDA has approved the medication to be administered orally, it is usually administered buccally or vaginally.
D) While RU-486 induces miscarriage, it's also called an ABORTION (Lisa's point).
E) Why didn't the clinic disabuse her of that notion - the single administration/slipping it to someone thing? At least the clinic requires women to take the pill in the clinic. And protects patient confidentiality.
F) I love that there are clinic stalkers - I hate those jerks. You know that's totally legal, right?
G) Does anyone else find it odd that there is a pregnancy test commercial on? Also, Nancy Drew shout out! Another pregnancy test commercial! But a different one. And two commercials with a song from the Hair soundtrack. I'd love to see the demographics on this show's viewers.
H) Back to the plot. Eww! "Pro-life"
I) Then the friend did it? Eh, this was stupid - too many medical inconsistencies. Anyone else have opinions? Maria, Lisa, what did you think?
p.s. Echidne says we can do something & sends us to Think Progress which has an email contact to complain.
