Back in November, the Canadian Medical Association Journal published a commentary advocating for the approval of RU-486, the preferred medical abortion drug, unaccountably not yet sanctioned in pro-choice Canada.
It explained:
A manufacturer must apply to bring the drug to market in Canada. Health Canada, citing confidentiality laws, would not confirm whether it is currently studying such an application.
However, [Dr. Sheila] Dunn said an application had been made within the last year. She said it may have taken time for a manufacturer to apply, owing to the expense and Canada’s relatively small population.
When the inevitable shit hit the fan from the fetus fetishists, Health Canada denied there was an application pending.
But now LifeShite reveals that the abortion activists did know what the hell they were talking about.
Health Canada has admitted that its deputy health minister misspoke when he told a parliament health committee in November that there is no pending application to have the controversial abortion drug RU-486 (mifepristone) approved in Canada.So, the antis are revving up again, citing old bullshit studies and stats from The Way Back Machine, before treatment regimes were find-tuned.
“An application has indeed been filed with Health Canada and is under review,” Health Canada’s Bureau of Metabolism, Oncology and Reproductive Sciences wrote on January 2 in an email obtained by LifeSiteNews.com.
And ya gotta love this from CampaignLie's petition page.
And whereas RU-486 has ties to the Nazi death camps of WWII, given it was designed by the same company (Hoechst AG, formerly IG Farben) which supplied Hitler with the Zyklon-B gas used to kill millions of Jews, Poles and others in the gas chambers of Auschwitz;Yep. That's how desperately short of actual facts and arguments they are. They went for the Nazi supplier! shriek.
Ja, like Kodak, Coca-Cola, IBM etc.

Does Health Canada register all arguments - even stoopid ones, equally? Could I say that RU-486 shouldn't be authorized for sale in Canada because my dog has fleas . . . because I'm adopted . . . because I hate my father? Phooey!
:) I'll note Godwin's Law ( a very odd concept indeed ) and raise you a post which says I try to keep an open mind - no matter how politically incorrect that may seem http://my.opera.com/oldephartte/blog/2013/03/24/denier
As for the drug, I'm alert to hear who is supplying data to assess the evaluation. The Manufacturer, I presume ?
