webfact Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Agencies crack down on abortion-pill websitesThe NationBANGKOK: -- The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Thursday announced a crackdown on nine websites found to be selling abortion-inducing drugs including Cytolog, Misoprostol, MTPill and Mifepristone.DSI chief Tarit Pengdith said the joint investigation and sting operation led to the arrest in Nakhon Pathom of two suspects - Somchai Sunancharoen, 48, who allegedly kept a storage facility for the drugs, and Wiroj Angkurawanit, 30, who allegedly ran the nine websites.The DSI also seized from Somchai's house 120 drug sets with instructions in ready-to-send packages; 2,008 pills worth Bt1 million; and empty boxes that once contained 30,000 pills, which had already been sent off.Tarit said the websites had operated for over a year and had catered to 20,000 customers during June-December alone, reportedly earning Bt4 million a month. -- The Nation 2013-12-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 "...catered to 20,000 customers during June-December alone..." Now, if the authorities would be that committed to making absentee fathers (AKA sperm donors) take responsibility for the pregnancies they cause, perhaps they would take more safety precautions. Thus eliminating the necessity for so many abortions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangarang Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 The proper payoffs weren't made. Agreed, thats the problem with e-commerce. No police payoffs. Better use more anonymous proxies when dealing with risky internet business ventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocN Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Educate people on "sex", make abortion legal and <deleted> get the "fathers" to accept responsibility and you don't need to "crackdown" on websites! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ... no government interference until there's a personal need for the police, firefighter, medical aid, retirement benefits, etc., etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
