Because of a new FDA ruling, the abortion pill Mifeprex (mifepristone) may now be obtained directly through retail pharmacy stores instead of directly from a doctor. The drug still requires a prescription, however, from a physician or certified prescriber.

On its webpage about mifepristone and “medical termination of pregnancy through 10 weeks gestation,” the FDA on Jan. 3 announced that it was modifying its rules for obtaining the abortion drug.

Under the new modification, “Mifeprex and its approved generic can be dispensed by certified pharmacies or by or under the supervision of a certified prescriber,” said the FDA. In the past, Mifeprex had to be obtained in-person from a clinic, medical office, or hospital. […]

According to doctors, the drugs must be taken prior to the 11th week of pregnancy to ensure an abortion. Mifepristone is taken first and then, 24 hours later, 4 misoprostol pills are taken. Several hours later cramping and bleeding starts, and the tiny baby is expelled from the uterus. …

When it comes to the Abortion Ghouls and defeating them or even slowing them down, it will always be, ‘One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.’

There is too much money to be made off of the bodies of dead babies. :(

On the other hand, good luck if you need Ivermectin. For that safe and effective formula you’ll have to contact India and wait 3 weeks or more

Also, I’m a dog breeder. Once in a great while we have an ‘Oops’ pregnancy with one of our purebred females. Not sure why the females are interested in those ‘Bad Boys’ they shouldn’t be hanging out with, but sometimes they are. ;)

All this to say - you can’t abort a litter of puppies; not a vet in the world would do that. They don’t even make a pill you can give to your pregnant female DOG in a case like this. She has to have the puppies, then you have to find homes for them.

But you CAN abort your own child...over the counter.

Just sayin’...

We should still try to ban abortion whenever and wherever. If the slaughter of innocent babies isn't a cause to fight for, no matter the chances of success, then what is?

Does a pharmacy have a right to not carry it?

I don’t disagree. It’s just that their blood lust seems to be so much stronger than our collective will to stop them.

I have no idea what could change such cold hearts and minds.

It is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

But at some point, even The Lord said to shake the dust from your feet and move on.

A friend had an ‘oops’ puppy. Half poodle and half superdog (Belgian Malinois IIRC, at least that was the main suspect; 9’ fences kind of limit it to superdogs). Wonderful creature, smart as hades.

Don’t worry, in five years I expect mifepristone will be a mandatory ingredient in bubble gum.
