FDA CONSIDERS APPROVAL OF FIRST OVER-THE-COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL PILL: (Live Action) – “This month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing an application for over-the-counter birth control. While more than 20 states have already approved dispensation of hormonal birth control without a doctor’s office visit, each state still requires that a licensed pharmacist dispense the medication after reviewing a medical history questionnaire filled out by the patient. But if the FDA approves French pharmaceutical company HRA Pharma’s ‘O-pill’ progestin-only birth control, it will be available truly over-the-counter just like Tylenol or Motrin — without any doctor, physician assistant, nurse practitioner or pharmacist contact.” Read the full story here.

STEPH CURRY’S MOM THANKS GOD FOR COURAGE TO REJECT ABORTION: (LifeNews.com) – “Sonya Curry trusted that God would work everything together for good when she drove away from the abortion facility, still carrying her unborn son. Now, more than 30 years later, her son Steph Curry is one of the biggest names in the NBA. He and his mother also are vocal about their Christian faith. In an interview on the ‘Your Mom’ podcast this week, Sonya Curry talked about why she decided to share how she almost aborted her son in her new memoir ‘Fierce Love,’ according to the New York Post. She also had an abortion prior to conceiving Stephen.” Read the full story here.
