LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2002 (LSN.ca) – Today at noon 50 young people from the pro-life group Survivors conducted a sit-in and demonstration a pharmacy in Los Angeles which distributes the abortifacient morning after pill. The group noted in a release that the protest will launch a statewide campaign to challenge pharmacy owners not to distribute the drug. Survivors “calls for Rite-Aid to protect young women and babies from being exploited and killed by this destructive pill,” says the release.
Anrianna Gumbine, one of the participants said: “As a 16 year old high school student I find it offensive that something many times more dangerous than birth control can be sold over the counter to me like aspirin. How would I or anyone my age be able to understand the possible consequences of this drug, especially if the pharmacist isn’t telling me?” For more information see the Survivors website at: https://www.survivors.la/
