Bush: No 'Plan B' for Quitting FDA Official

[Lounge Daddy]

President George Bush today accepted the resignation of the women's health director of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) who quit in protest over agency delays in approving over-the-counter sales of a '[url="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/31/AR2005083101271.html"]morning after[/url]' abortion pill.

The president also reminded the departing Susan F. Wood that "there is no plan B."

"Once you're gone, you're gone," said Mr. Bush in a White House news release. "If Susan wakes up tomorrow morning and regrets what she did today, it's too late. She can't just pop a pill and resurrect her FDA career."

The president said he hopes the incident will highlight the principle that "decisions have consequences."
