Jesus Tap-Dancin' Christ

Holy living fuck. I never thought I'd see the day when Gil Gutneckt (my motherfucking homophobic asshole congressman) try to do soemthing good for America. Jesus H. Christ in a Chicken Basket.

By the way, this shows exactly how loyal conservatives are to their own, non-cash paying, friends.

While I believe that the import of RU-486 is nto an argument against reimporting drugs, health and safety concerns are. Here in Germany, as many as 1/2 % of all drugs that are sold in pharmacies (!) are suspected to be falsifications. They can be very dangerous, for instance they may not contain the needed amount of the actual medical component, or having poisonous impurities, or a widely fluctuationg amount of the medical component. People have died because of this. It happens here because it is legal (and very profitable) to reimport drugs which are sold much cheaper abroad. The chain of supervision of which drug is where and in the hands of whom is broken, thus opening the door for falsification or simply mishandling (exposing the drugs to too much heat, for instance). It is debated to forbid reimporting for this very reason.

So, the victims will be people with diabetes or heart disease, this way or the other. The choice sucks, I know. But choose the american politicians must.

Yeah, I worry about reimporting for this reason. Perhaps any re-imports would require testing to make sure they are legit.

I think I see what their problem is about RU-486. They can't very well bring pressure against a foreign drug manufacturer to get them not to make it.
