"As if we haven't got enough ways in Canada to kill preborn children; we've just legalized another one," John Hof President of United for Life BC told LifeSiteNews.

"I think it's another dark day for Canada with the approval of that dangerous human pesticide," commented Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) President Jim Hughes.

"We have a glut of abortions in Canada since 1969 with deaths of in-womb babies exceeding 4 million," said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of CLC. "Surely we do not need to add this disastrous medication to the killing that is already taking place."

CLC called on the federal government, Health Minister Rona Ambrose and Prime Minister Harper to stop the distribution of this drug.

In a statement, a spokesperson for federal Minister Ambrose sought to distance the government from the decision. "Drug approval decisions are arms-length decisions made by Health Canada officials based on analysis by Health Canada scientists," the spokesperson said, according to the Montreal Gazette.

Heavy bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and painful uterine contractions are common side-effects of the two-drug combo, which requires three trips to the doctor's office over a two week period.
