...only problem was, someone forgot to tell NASA. No sooner did the story break than the space agency issued a flurry of statements insisting that the show was not under consideration. There was something, however, in the nondenial tone of the denials coming out of NASA last week and the week before that raised eyebrows. Yes, Dreamtime was authorized to come up with "outside-the-box" ideas, the space agency admitted--just not this...
...only doctors in the big cities use it, what will really have changed? Last week's much heralded FDA decision--the denouement of years of controversy over a pill developed in France two decades ago--was not hailed as a triumph just for urban women who already have choices. Mifepristone proponents predicted that when it finally reached the market, it would privatize the whole experience of abortion, take it out of the streets and the courts and the Congress and into the privacy of the home and the doctor's office, enabling women to end a pregnancy before the embryo...

Maybe the doctors who fell so silent last week in the face of such dramatic medical news were just waiting to learn more themselves, study the legal and financial implications, weigh the ethical ones, of offering a new kind of abortion to their patients. But for all the cheering of abortion-rights activists, it could be a long time before we really know what difference the marketing of mifepristone will make. Opponents vow to take to the streets in force, target the doctors who agree to prescribe it, gouge the conscience of anyone willing to wage chemical warfare on women...
