Abortion Pill Killing Mothers

The FDA approved the drug RU-486 in September of 2000. In case you're not familiar with this drug it was created for the express purpose of destroying life, aka "The Morning After Pill". It's just another way people in our society can get out of taking responsiblity for their actions.

"The FDA should have never approved this dangerous drug. It has one purpose only - that is to kill a human being - and now we are finding out that it is killing two human beings, the baby and the mother," said Wendy Wright, policy director of the anti-abortion Concerned Women for America.

The problem now, besides the obvious discounting of life, is that 4 women have recently died from complications linked to the drug. I would have to think that if we saw this same number of deaths from almost any other drug, the FDA would pull it immediately so that an investigation could be done. This isn't happening in this case though. The question is why?

"It has been FDA-approved at a significant delay from many other Western nations because of the politics involved. That said, it was approved because it's incredibly safe, it's effective and has a very low risk of adverse events," said Dr. Deborah Nucatola of the University of Southern California medical school.

What a sterile comment this is devoid of any logic and regard for human life. We see now, that it is clearly not incredibly safe, it is in fact effective, so much so that it has the ability to not only kill the unborn child but also the mother and what about these adverse events? I guess Ms. Nucatola is referring to things other than killing an unborn child. This drug is clearly a drug of convenience rather than necessity and the FDA should rethink it's standing.
