I hope it passes. Women's health should come before people's opinions.

I'm suprised some hospital staff didn't know the difference between EC and RU-486.

It would be great if the bill was passed to offer EC to sexual assault victims in the ER, I can't see why they shouldn't. If it is offered, women have the option of saying yes or no based on their beliefs, and hospital staff would have much less of a say based on their own beliefs, which shouldn't even be an issue in such a setting in the first place. It is a relief to know there are still some people out there who are still fighting for a women's rights.

The reason people confuse EC and RU 486 is because of propaganda spread by pro-life groups. They are anti-birth control but they know that their message is unpopular so they disguise it with the anti-abortion message.

I am Pro life and think the bill would be wonderful. Like you said it would be up to the women. And EC is not gettin rid of an egg and sperm joined together. It is preventing this from happening.

Annie, here is a web site with extremely valuable information:

http://www.aaplog.org/decook.htm

It is a pro-life website: American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists

It goes into detail of why different forms of bc are NOT causing abortions.

Thank you for the site. I hope many go and look at it. As I said in another thread I work in a pharmacy and for a bc to cause an abortion you would have to take a very large amount at one time. I tood bc for a month not knowing I was pregnant and part of the next month on and off still not knowing (I only took some because it was making me sick when I took it, low and behold it was morning sickness!). My son is a very healthy lil boy and always has been.

We need more pharmacists like you, anniek. I wish you could magically share your sense of fairness and reasoning with other prolife pharmacists.

Thank you very much! Just a note I'm not a pharmacist I'm a Certified Tech. But just so you know my pharmacist both believe as I do. They are pro-life but understand how bc and Morning after pills work. I just hope more people can understand!
