Re: Pregnant Woman Takes Abortion Pill Due To Pharmacy Error - February 8th 2011, 03:57 AM

Personally, I think it's dangerous to sell drugs that can terminate pregnancies over the counter. But that's more of an issue for the government or health department or whoever decides those things.

I think it's really good that the pharmacy came forward and admitted the mix-up without placing full blame on the pharmacist involved. Silva is not a common last name and if the first names were extremely similar as well, I can see how this would occur. It is a shame that this mix-up could have such a terrible consequence, but accidents do happen.

And I actually think that her response to the pharmacy's apology was just down-right rude. Obviously she is upset, but she should take some of the blame too. If I was taking a new prescription, I would definitely be checking that it was the right one, especially if I was pregnant.
