Abortifacient Plan B could be available over-the-counter in U.S. within mere weeks...

"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be destroyed!" - Jesus, June 2, 1979

LifeSiteNews reported on August 9, 2006:

After three years of wrangling between the Food and Drug Administration and Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. it appears that the drug company is suddenly on the brink of finally getting what it wants—over-the-counter access to the abortifacient Plan B or “morning after” pill.

The most recent development in the three-year-long battle indicates that Plan B could very well be available over-the-counter within a matter of mere weeks.

Early last week it was reported that the FDA contacted Barr Laboratories Inc., the manufacturer of the “emergency contraceptive” Plan B, indicating that it wanted to meet within seven days to discuss new steps the company must take in order to sell the abortifacient without a prescription. Among the requirements that the FDA laid out was that Barr would table a plan to restrict over-the-counter access to those over the age of 18.

The most recent development is that Barr has agreed to revise its application accordingly and to resubmit within two weeks, agreeing to restrict the drug to those over 18. It is, however, still unclear exactly how the company intends to go about enforcing the age restriction, which many, including the FDA, have said in the past is anywhere from difficult to impossible.

The FDA promised that it would act quickly on the revised application, according to a Bloomberg news report.

The chairman of Barr, Mr. Downey, told the NY Times that the acting Food and Drug Commissioner, Andrew C. von Eschenbach, had promised to work with the company to resolve the current deadlock . Although initially the company had hoped to be able to obtain permission to provide unrestricted over-the-counter access to Plan B, with no age limit, Downey admitted “I don’t have the ability to get all that I want.”  Previously the pharmaceutical company had partially compromised and petitioned to make Plan B available over-the-counter to anyone over 16.

Although the FDA has said that the decision to renew negotiations over Plan B are fuelled by science rather than politics, the not even thinly veiled timing of the current push for over-the-counter access has left opponents more than a little sceptical about the FDA's objective consideration of the factual merits or demerits of such a plan. Last week Concerned Women for America (CWA) responded to the renewed debate by criticizing the FDA, which it says “consistently puts women second to politics”.

In this case the FDA’s announcement to renew discussions with Barr came only one day before senate hearings into confirming the FDA’s acting commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach were set to begin. Senate Democrats including Senators Hillary Clinton and Patty Murray, have clearly voiced their intent to block the nominatinon of Eschenbach for FDA commissioner until the Plan B issue is resolved in their favor—that is, until the FDA makes Plan B available over-the-counter.

Since the beginning of Eschenbach’s senate hearings a series of major developments in Barr’s application have occurred in rapid-fire succession, culminating in the most recent news that Plan B could be available over-the-counter within mere weeks.

CWA President Wendy Wright has condemned Barr Pharmaceutical’s push to for over-the-counter access to Plan B, saying, “Any scheme based on who buys the drug is absolutely meaningless. Anyone, man or woman, over 18 could buy the drug and turn around – even in the store – and give it to a 13-year old.  Neither FDA nor Barr, the Plan B drug maker, has the ability to penalize those that would sell or give the drug to a minor. No one can believe that the FDA or Barr could enforce a gender restriction on sales so that only women can buy it but men could not.”
 
In response to the arguments of advocates of Plan B that it reduces unwanted pregnancies and abortions, Wright responded, “Countries that make the morning-after pill easy to access show no drop in pregnancies or abortions, but they do experience skyrocketing rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STD).  Common sense and care for women – especially minor girls – requires medical oversight of this drug. The FDA needs to stop playing games with women’s lives.”

"Do not cease the struggle to stop the abominations of murder in your city, your country, and the world. The murder of the Holy Innocents shall bring down great destruction upon your city and your country, My child.” - Our Lady, December 31, 1974

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm  
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

SIXTY MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world." - Our Lady, June 18, 1986

TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just recompense." - Our Lady, March 18, 1983

DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves over to destroying human life in abortions." - Jesus, June 6, 1987

FOULEST OF DEEDS
"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
     "I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976 

TORMENT
"The torment that will be visited upon those who murder the innocent shall be eternal damnation and feasting their eyes upon the murdered souls." - Our Lady, May 10, 1972

SAINTS CRY OUT FOR PUNISHMENT
"Oh, the greatest of sorrow is upon Our hearts because of the loss of the little ones. Your country, My child, and many countries throughout your world, shall do great penance for the murders of the young, the abortions, the murders being committed in your country. The saints in Heaven cry out for punishment upon a wicked generation. Never in the past, in all the slaughters of history, has there been such wanton killing of the young and the innocent! I say unto you, as your God, you shall be brought down to your knees! You, evil mankind, you shall be cleansed in a bloodbath!” - Jesus, February 1, 1977

Crucifix on front and back door...  The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84) (Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.)  https://www.tldm.org/news/crucifix.htm

Our Lord stated we must have crucifixes upon the outside of all of our outside doors. In the "Heaven’s Home Protection Packet" there are instructions, four crucifixes, and a tube of special cement for wooden or metal crucifixes. Wooden crucifixes adhere better to the doors when the aluminum strap is removed from the back. Put a light coat of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance. This Heaven’s Home Protection Packet is available for a donation of $5.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling.
