AMA Wants "Morning-After" Pill Sold OTC
In early December, the pro-abortion American
Medical Association recommended that the "morning after" pill be sold
over-the-counter, rather than by prescription only.
According
to the RNC for Life Faxnotes, the drugs are being promoted as "emergency
contraception" and are marketed under the names Preven and Plan B.
The drug, marketed
to be used within 72 hours of sexual intercourse, acts in two ways. It can inhibit
ovulation, or it can cause the lining of the uterus to harden, thereby making it
impossible for the tiny baby to implant. Thus, a very early abortion results.
Efforts are being
made in Congress to prevent the distribution of the "morning after" pill at
school-based clinics under Title X funding. Mark Crutcher, founder and president of
Life Dynamics, Inc., hit the nail on the head in a recent edition of LifeTalk. He said
that the AMA would like to see such pills sold in blister packs at (stores like) the
7-Eleven.
