In an effort to try and prevent the development of websites which would shine a negative light on "the patch", Johnson and Johnson bought all of the negative sounding Ortho Evra domain names - or at least they thought they did. Read about it it more at here.
Seems somebody at J&J made a mistake - they didn't register the following names:
http://www.OrthoEvraIsHarmful.com
http://www.Ortho-Evra-Sucks.com
http://www.Ortho-Evra-Deaths.com
http://www.Ortho-Evra-Kills.com
http://www.Ortho-Evra-Litigation.com
(Take a peek at these websites...)
On another note, it is believed that the patch may block implantation of a fertilized egg (a newly created human) - it may act as an abortifacient if its other mechanisms fail.
This potential abortifacient and dangerous contraceptive should be removed from the market. But don't hold your breath - it's contraception after all. If this were a vitamin or some other drug, things might be different, but aparrently contraceptives and abortion drugs get a pass from the FDA. Don't expect the 110th Congress to do anything to resolve this situation - if anything, they'd prefer to just turn their heads and increase federal funding for contraception - including for the patch.
