>More info on British experience with OTC EC
>More on the lack of effect on the abortion rates in the UK after emergency contraception went over the counter in that nation. (And a rare chance to post the word, “whilst.”) From the responses (reader’s letters) to that British Medical Journal Article posted earlier: Whilst Marston et al make interesting observations , it only … Continue reading
Plan B Not Abortifacient, But Doesn’t Change Much, Either
As the news that the FDA may soon make Plan B , the progesterone only protocol that is often called “Emergency Contraception” or the “morning after pill,” available without prescription, we’ll probably hear all sorts of opinions about whether or not it is an abortifacient or will lower the abortion rate. The answer is probably … Continue reading

Life, death, lawyers and ethics
LifeSite and Wesley Smith’s “SecondHand Smoke” are covering the very public grief of a family facing the death of their father due to asbestos-related lung cancer. There are accusations of euthanasia and “precipitating” death. In fact, the story does not support any of these. From the Wall Street Journal Opinion by Pamela Winnick: A medical … Continue reading
Greenberg’s Frankenstein Syndrome
>I’d call it the Dred Scott Syndrome. Paul Greenberg has written an editorial arguing against destructive and manipulative embryonic stem cell research and in favor of the veto by President George Bush of HR 810.

This article mentions $25 Million, but that’s over 5 years: Despite the disagreement … Continue reading

The program is modeled after successful initiatives such as the Harlem Navigator Program in New York City and the Washington Hospital … Continue reading
