vatican threatens excommunication to doctors who prescribe abortion pill RU486
Edited on Fri Jul-31-09 11:12 AM by demoleft
here we go again.
"Italy's drug regulation agency has approved the use of the abortion pill RU486, also known as mifepristone, prompting protests from the Vatican.
The Italian Pharmaceuticals Agency (AIFA) ruled late on Thursday that the drug would not be sold in pharmacies and only be administered by doctors.
...
On Thursday, the Vatican said it would excommunicate doctors who prescribed the drug and patients who used it.
"First abortion was legalised to stop it being clandestine, but now doctors are washing their hands of it and transferring the burden of conscience to women," said Bishop Elio Sgreccia, vice-president of the Pontifical Academy for Life."
i consider this last sentence by the Vatican almost a crime against women.
really again and again - the threat for the women to be dispossed of mastery over their own body and conscience.
a growing surge here in Italy.
the pill can be taken within the 7th week of pregnancy, says the prescription. it won't be sold in pharmacies.

1. Enough! ENOUGH of the middlemen between people and their healthcare providers
Insurance bean counters and greed CEO
Pols working for lobbyists instead of citizens
Now the vatican
Enough already.
Shame on the Pope for having the temerity to asked his flock to abide by the rules of the Church. It's time he ex-communicate politicians that support abortions too.

So if a woman decides that abortion is murder you're okay with that? Right?

DUmmies and democrats hate Christianity simply because most religions will
not change their definition of right and wrong to satisfy whatever perversion
democrats currently favor. So democrats are atheist, or some pseudo-religion
like voodoo, wiccan or unitarian, and see nothing wrong with heathen practices
like islam. The idea that one can be a Christian and a democrat at the same
time is ludicrous.
