<<The medication I take ~ Arava ~ is similar to chemotherapy, but it targets certain processes in developing cells. If I got pregnant, the baby would be horribly deformed. So, I signed a consent form that I would use reliable contraception, knowing full well that no contraception is perfect. I would have an abortion if I got pregnant. And if that's what I would do, I can't deny that choice to others.>> I understand. There is a company who holds the rights to the drug that caused the birth defects in the 60s. Good drug but they can't use it because of the lawsuits if a woman takes it in a certain week of her pregnancy. Thalidimide is the drug but I still can't remember the company. Good drug, fights cancer, leprosy and AIDS. Still has that nasty side effect. Being dumb has its draw backs, I wish I could remember the company.
