>   Message: I am concerned about the attempts made by Venture Strategies
>   and it's partners to include misoprostol in the WHO EML list. They use
>   unethical practices to spread this drug at the community level in the
>   underdeveloped parts of the world. All of us are aware that misoprostol
>   is unsafe for pregnant women. However Venture Strategies is promoting
>   it's use to cause abortions.We know that abortion must not be advocated
>   as a means to control population and is not a method of contraception.
>   However if WHO agrees with Venture Strategies and allows misoprostol use
>   for PPH etc, there is a very serious reason for alarm.
