Stop Period
Some months ago I had written about attending an interview with Wyeth for the post of Sales & Marketing Director of the pharmaceutical division. Although the primary product responsibilities would have been Prevnar and some other newer drugs, I had the nagging thought of how I would promote the use of Wyeth’s older, moribund oral contraceptives. Last month I was informed that someone else was selected for this position and I consoled myself by believing that this is God’s will as He didn’t want me to be in a quandary with regards to promoting a pro-life drug and concurrently promoting a anti-life one.
Today when I read the news, the magnitude of God’s action in not giving me the job became crystal clear. The FDA had announced that Wyeth have won approval for a new oral contraceptive that will prevent menstruation completely! Horror of horrors! This drug, Lybrel, is to be taken every day, as opposed to the traditional ones that are taken only for 3 weeks at a stretch followed by a one week drug free period.
Once again, humans have tested the boundaries of rational thinking by trying to eliminate something that’s naturally endowed by God. Once again we shall see people suffering from some yet unknown adverse reaction to medications and procedures that interfere with nature. Eventually the protests to the FDA shall mount and suits shall follow. In fact Lybrel ryhmes with libel. Is the trade name a premonition of things to come?
Immediately after the announcement too, Planned Parenthood had welcomed this new abomination from Wyeth. For sure, PP shall promote this in their abatoirs.
We can only pray that women will be turned off by this completely unnatural, albeit convenient treatment.
