Post coital Pill Ibuprofen Vs. Comparing side effects

Since the Minister of Health, Trinidad Jimenez, announced that the so-called morning-after pill or postcoital pill would dispense without a prescription in pharmacies to women of any age, have read and heard many criticisms of this decision, based primarily on the alleged very serious side effects caused by their ingestion. I have called particular attention to statements such as:

Some of the effects of this dose of hormones are headache, vomiting, dizziness, breast tenderness, fatigue, fluid retention, as if menstrual bleeding. This bleeding may be due to the fall of the walls of the uterus or womb, abortion or same. In addition, severe abdominal pain, chest, difficulty breathing, blurred vision, severe pain in the legs.

Woman regularly used the pill may experience fatal complications such as obstruction of veins and arteries, heart attacks, heart failure, liver dysfunction and high blood pressure. Taken from here

"According to experts, is an abortion drug with potent side effects that can severely damage the body" . Taken from here.

can lead to liver failure increase the risk of cancer of the liver and pancreas, produce nausea (42%) and vomiting (16%), vaginal bleeding (31%), vertigo or dizziness (20%) abdominal pain (15%), fatigue (13%), headache (10%), breast tenderness (8%), delayed menstruation (5%) and diarrhea (3%). " In addition to these side effects United for Life points out that consequences have also been observed such as ectopic pregnancy and blood clots, because such high hormone doses delivered to women. "In fact, are already seeing cases of teen deaths from stroke in the hospital emergency. And finally, the intensive use of this drug produced a significant increase in female infertility " Taken from here.

President the English Family Forum, Benigno Blanco, declared:

"The DDA is a true abortifacient and can have serious health consequences for users so they do not understand that issue without prescription." Taken from here

I also have drawn attention to the statements César Nombela, Professor of Microbiology at the website makes the Cope:

Putting a product of its kind on sale in pharmacies without a prescription , like a painkiller, is very serious that goes against public health.

Indeed, such pain-counter Ibuprofen and no difficulties of any kind to any person of any age. I myself took Ibuprofen for my headaches, or muscle aches. It occurred to me reread the leaflet and found that many of us take analgesic like candy and against which no complaint Mr. Nombela no one above mentioned on this post if you have side effects can be serious. Surely more than one has at home a box, read the prospectus or else you can read it here, taken from the Vademecum. We summarize a bit, frequent are: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness or vertigo. Not to mention the rare: gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers, bronchospasm ... even in patients with autoimmune disease can cause aseptic meningitis.

So my question is: why all those who are scandalized by the "terrible" side effects of postcoital pill also do not side effects of Ibuprofen? Why not require the government to immediately ban is sold without a prescription? Why not warn of the dangers to the fetus can have this pain medicine? Why ignorance or moral and religious reasons that have nothing to do with profits or losses that have a specific health medicine.

Because we reach the absurd that a woman take the morning-after pill, will produce a headache, then, take ibuprofen to relieve a headache, and pain medicine that she takes too frequently, it causes gastrointestinal perforation. What would in this case the misnamed "pro-life"? Well, as they always say, the post-coital pill has serious side effects.
