WINNIPEG, Feb 13, 2001 (LSN.ca) – The Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association has appealed to the provincial government to allow over-the-counter sale of the abortifacient morning-after-pill. The Winnipeg Free Press reported February 3 that the government is open to the move. “We usually go with recommendations of the pharmaceutical association,” assistant deputy health minister Rick Dedi told the Free Press. “I don’t see that there’s any particular obstacles in the way of that.”
