When the people of California don't have electricity to power their lights (due to Davis), they'll need record amounts of RU486 the morning after.

detsaoT, your reference to "legislation" is incorrect. Gov Gray issued a directive. The legislature is not mentioned in the article. ...Davis is instructing the Department of Managed Health Care, the state's HMO regulator, to inform all HMOs in the state about the new order.... Socialist fiat would better describe this. Edict would also fit.

Excellent catch, Jack. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

(On the other hand, I must say that the decisions being made by the CA legislature aren't that much better than the Dictator's... Fortunately, I don't live there, so take my complaints with a giant grain of salt...)

FYI: The morning after pill and RU486 are two different drugs. The morning after pill is basically a higher dose of birth control pills. Some private physicians will tell their patients to take X number of regular birth control pills to achieve the same effect.

The morning after pill causes increased chemical changes in the uterus so as to make it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant. Sometimes it does anyway. To my knowledge, it cannot cause an implanted egg to abort, but I could be wrong on that. RU486 creates a chemical abortion of an implanted egg. It must be taken within a certain number of weeks after conception to be effective.
