PRO-LIFE: MORNING AFTER PILL ...

... to be examined by the FDA. The NYT reports ...
Federal drug regulators have discovered that all four women in this country who died after taking an abortion pill suffered from a rare and highly lethal bacterial infection, a finding that is leading to new scrutiny of the drug's safety.

Since all four deaths occurred in California, an unusual clustering, the Food and Drug Administration quietly tested to see if abortion pills distributed in California were somehow contaminated. They were not.

Stumped, officials from the F.D.A. and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have decided to convene a scientific meeting early next year to discuss this medical mystery, according to two drug agency officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.
Dang, another thing California can be known for ... lethal bactria! Instead of just taking one life, we're doubling up ... great!

ON TOPIC UPDATE: Dawn Patrol is back ... and with a vengeance.
