you better not pout, you better not cry...you better watch out, I'm telling you why. V-i-a-g-r-a is coming to town.

A rare germ that killed four California women who took the abortion pill RU-486 has been implicated in the deaths of even more women after childbirth or miscarriage.

Although the abortion link has grabbed the most attention, Clostridium sordellii has killed at least 11 other women. That's more than twice as many as have died of infection after taking the abortion pill.

Opponents of the abortion pill have seized on those deaths, and a doctor from the American Association of Pro Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists is set to testify at a congressional hearing scheduled for next week.

The hearing is for a Senate bill proposal suspending sales of RU-486.

Gee, really? I wonder...if he is a doctor, will he be objective and discuss the reality that this rare germ is NOT limited to RU? Will he also talk about how it has killed other women?

"That's 11 other cases that have nothing to do with abortion -- they're other obstetric events," said Dr. Beverly Winikoff, a women's health advocate who worked to bring the abortion pill to the United States.

Let's recount: 6 women have died in the US after using RU-486. One death ruled out by the FDA. Nearly 600,000 women in the U.S. have used Mifeprex since its approval in 2000, according to Danco Laboratories.

And let's visit this: Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles analyzed reports and found that there have been 522 deaths and that there "appears to be a high number of deaths and serious cardiovascular events associated with the use of Viagra."

Notice the so-called "culture of life" crowd could care less about this. Notice how these no-sex- outside-of-procreation goons don't pop a vessel when grandpa gets it up.

Then everyone's happy. Except maybe his wife.
