Can we expect arrests there in the near future for not supporting the Culture of Perversion?
Pharmacists in Manitoba Refuse to Dispense Abortifacient “Morning After” Pill
By Gudrun Schultz

STEINBACH, Manitoba, January 30, 2006 (LifeSiteNew.com) –Over half the pharmacies in the town of Steinbach refuse to stock the abortifacient pill known as “Plan B,” which will prevent pregnancy, or end a pregnancy in the first few days following conception.

YIKES

exactly what I feared would happen is happening…

the USA will follow suit if this trend by Pharmacists is continued
Hopefully before they “open shelf” it, they will pass some kind of law that will allow Drs without in house pharmacies to dispense it.which would make it less accessible to morons.

That would mean that you would not have access, Right?
 
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada is now arguing that Plan B should be kept on store shelves where customers can help themselves, in order to bypass pharmacists who refuse to dispense the drug.
Sounds fair to me. That way, the pharmacists dont have to provide a morally objectionable service, but the customer still is provided access to a legal medication.

Yes, but that would mean that any girl can get ahold of it, and it is a medication with serious side effects. It doesn’t seem wise to make Plan B available to anyone at any age as many times as she wishes to take it without anyone to discuss the medication with.

Plus, who rings up the sale? Does selling the medication on the other side of the counter but still actually doing the selling allieviate the consciences of these pharmacists? My guess would be “no.”

FDA hearings said there were no serious side effects.

I wonder if those pharmacists dispense regular BC pills?

If a store sells Plan B, can we safely say all the employees of that store and that firm can’t alleviate their consciences?

Interesting. I’d like to see your link to that. The warnings are printed on the packets.
 
Ortho -

Interesting that commercials for BC pills also verbally provide a myriad of potential health risks.

potential health risks

so where is your link that the FDA says there are none?
What’s the risk? I have yet to see a label that merely says potential health risks.

I’ll have to sarch for a link. The FDA outside advisory committee and the inhouse advosory committee both recommended it be approved for OTC sales. The FDA commissioners voted 24 in favor and 3 against.

That is interesting. I bet they list them and detail for whom they are a risk.

I think peanuts are a deadly serious risk for some folks. But I still see them on the shelf.

So as far as you know, there are no risks involved in ingesting the BC pill - and you are in favor of putting them OTC because in you are unaware of any potential health risks?

I’m unsure why the packaging of such products would include the printed potential risks if there were none.

Serious side effects include an increased chance, for some women, of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and blood clots. Minor side effects include nausea, headaches, sore breasts, weight gain, irregular bleeding and depression. Women who smoke, are over age 35, or have a history of blood clots or breast or endometrial cancer are more at risk for dangerous side effects.

4woman.gov/faq/birthcont.htm#five the link is one that I think Ortho will appreciate - completely unbiased and non-denominational. I would have preferred using a Catholic link but this seemed to get the point across.

Yet another fabulous analogy of yours - but I’ll work with it. :rolleyes:
A mother would never feed her child peanuts if she knew her child could die.

Interesting part is that seemingly healthy woman have died from clots, et al. listed above.

I’m in favor of selling them OTC because that’s the overwhelming recommendation of the FDA advisory committee.

Thank you. I pride myself on my fabulous analogies. Did you see the Will & Grace eposode about “fabulous?”

Good for that mother. But those killer nuts are right there on the shelf.

Wonder how many have died from peanuts? Show some compassion.

well this is the problem with this particular drug there are less side effects than with a normal aspirin, and no it should not be easily accessible as Mike Dye wants, and he actually insulted me because i am against having this med on the shelves,

Unfortunatly this is whats happening here its going to be open shelved" for anyone to buy and use without consulting a DR.
Because so many pharmacists are refusing to do the jobs they were hired to do.Our Govt will not outlaw this med because the drug companys have too much money pumping into
reelection campaigns,and they also have too many lobbyists.
why you think we cannot legally go to Canada and buy a med there that costs 10 dollars and here is 100,its not cause the drug is more dangerous,its made at the same location.
it falls into simple profit for the manufacturing company and our politicians…
