I have worked in the medical field for over 40 years as a Registered
Nurse but I want to state that I am totally opposed to approving
dispensing of the "morning after abortion pill".  

Reviewers at the FDA, some physicians and the who who's group that favor
abortion argue that this will prevent "unwanted births or abortions". 
How can anyone who endorses this pill sleep at night because the use of
this pill is actually the same as an abortion.  The Vatican states it
very well:  "the process of human life does not begin with the embryo's
adherence to the maternal womb, but before, at the very moment of
conception.  Hence, to talk about "impeding implantation in the uterus"
is nothing but a euphemism in an attempt to disguise abortion."

In addition, the use of this drug without a prescription will only
encourage promiscuity and could add to the ever increasing numbers of
sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.  

I AGAIN ASK THE FDA TO WITHDRAW THE PILLS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT PREVENT 
ABORTION; THEY ARE ABORTION!!!

Sincerely,
