OTTAWA, April 20, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An order-in-Council signed yesterday will make it possible for all pharmacies across Canada to distribute the abortifacient drug levonorgestrel (morning after pill) without a prescription.
"This drug is a double dose birth control pill which is a hazard to women's health, yet Health Canada seems not to care. Even the regular birth control pill causes blood clots and strokes," said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). "The morning after pill also prevents a newly conceived child from implanting in the uterus, resulting in the death of the child. Promoters are trying to deceive the public into believing that this is not an abortifacient and that it is safe for women."
"The government is telling our young people to act irresponsibly sexually and then run to the pharmacist who will provide them with a magic pill to solve their problems," said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of Campaign Life Coalition. "Some pharmacists do not want to dispense a drug which they know is harmful to the woman and deadly for the child. Will their freedom of choice be respected?" she asks.
Campaign Life Coalition has called on Health Canada to reverse this decision before the death of women as well as their newly conceived children. "The Liberal government is determined to drag our country down a morally corrupt path," concluded a CLC release on the issue.
