California woman given 'abortifacient' drug by mistake

[FrankR1]

I started this thread and I would like to end it. I don’t want to receive any more emails in my inbox concerning this issue. Let’s close it. I have a problem with any drug that can cause an abortion being dispensed at the same pharmacy where pregnant women go to get medicine. It’s my problem, and there is very little that I can do to persuade pharmacies to stop selling abortifacients. I wish more pharmacists.would not dispense abortificients.

If you would like the thread officially closed, so that no one else can post to it, you can send a private message to the moderator for the social justice forum, asking him/her to do so. I think they comply with that sort of request.

Many of you have heard the story of Mareena Silva, the Lupton, California pregnant woman who was given the wrong drug by her Safeway pharmacist. The drug in question was an abortifacient which is also used to treat patients receiving chemotherapy. For all of those people who are Pro-Choice, they must all agree that this Ms. Silva’s ‘choice’ to keep her baby is now in jeopardy through no fault of her own. Once you take away a mother’s choice to bring human life into this world, (even by accident) then the whole abortion debate changes doesn’t it?

Now, Pro-Choice legislation is encrouching on Pro-Life mothers’ right to choose life. It is unconscionable that abortifacients are allowed to be recklessly kept in close promiximity to other drugs that do not terminate an unborn fetus. Now, understandably, Mareena Silva is concerned for the well being of her unborn baby, who thankfully was not killed by this pharmaceutical blunder of epic proportions.

Many Pro-Choicers follow the philosophy of ‘live and let live’, yet they have nothing of substance to say when a pharmacist makes a mistake that leads to an abortifacient being dispensed to a pregnant woman who ‘wants’ her baby.

It’s time that we as Americans take this issue to our leaders. We need to demand that abortifacients be kept away from other drugs that do not terminate pregnancy.

thank god her baby wasnt killed…they should sack the pharmacist at least…

lets pray her baby is born unharmed

OTOH the drug in question is not in itself an abortifacient; it is often used for perfectly moral purposes, such as chemotherapy. The ability to cause miscarriages is a side-effect. It’s no different from selling knives at a Wal-Mart.
