Current issues shitting me off
Feb. 8th, 2006 07:51 pm"RU486 will kill Australian mothers"
No, RU486 will possibly kill women who took it to prevent becoming a mother (of that particular child). They may or may not already be mothers.
"This debate isn't about abortion."
Aspirin and Paracetamol will possibly kill Australian mothers too, and there's no hoo-hah about that. Why? Because the debate damn well IS about abortion. I can handle it being about abortion, the debate has raged for many many years and will continue because there will always be pro-lifers and pro-choicers. Denying the fact is what pisses me off.
I hope I never have to, or want to use this drug. But if the situation ever arises I would like to have the informed choice.
