In 2010, the Obama administration's FDA approved a new drug called 'ella' and classified it as a contraceptive. The drug now falls under the Obama administration's mandate of services that private insurers must cover free of charge. But there is a considerable amount of evidence that ella does not merely prevent conception--it can also cause the death of a human embryo after conception and even after implantation. In other words, the Obamacare mandate is not just a "contraception mandate" as many in the media portray it. The mandate also requires coverage of an abortifacient, as Jeffrey H. Anderson documented here:
CBS News notes ella’s “chemical similarity” to RU-486 (which will not be “free” under Obamacare). The New York Times describes it as being RU-486’s “chemical relative.” The Washington Post describes it as being RU-486’s “close chemical relative.” WebMD says that it works to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg — in other words, as an abortifacient. Dr. Justo Aznar writes that between 50 percent and 70 percent of the time, ella “will act by an abortive mechanism.” The European Medicine Agency acknowledges that the drug has the "ability to delay maturation of the endometrium likely resulting in prevention of implantation."
