Subject: FHA-305

I have just been informed there is a petition with FDA
to allow sales of "abortion pills" without a
physician's prescription.  I believe this practice to
be unacceptable for several reasons, the primary two
to be:
    1.  Any form of abortion-inducing medication or
procedure results in the death of the human fetus
which is socially & spiritually unacceptable,

    2.  As a professional nurse who has researched the
history & "blind-study testing" of this medication, I
find long-term effects to the mother have NOT been
adequately determined...We must ALWAYS remember how
the use of Thalidomide produced horrific birth defects
when THAT medication was considered "safe" by many.
That tragedy affected the viable babies born to
mothers who took the medication during the pregnancy.

Another tragedy CAN be revisited, this time to the
millions of women who would be taking this "abortion
pill" at-will because HFA-305 was approved without
FDA's COMPLETE study & testing....What possible risks
could this medication offer to women, particularly
those women who will use it to abort a pregnancy 2, 3,
or 4 times?  Please consider this question. Please
consider the safety of the population in your charge.

PLEASE DENY PETITION # HFA-305...FOR THE SAKE ALL THE
UNBORN BABIES & ALL THE MOTHERS WHO WOULD RECEIVE THIS
TREATMENT.
