During meetings about the safety of the RU-486 abortion drug, Centers for Disease Control officials revealed a seventh woman has died from a drug-based abortion. Stunning to be sure. LifeNews has the story.
Monty Patterson, one of the fathers of women who died after taking RU-486, attended the meeting. According the the San Francisco Chronicle, Patterson said the meeting confirmed his notion that RU-486 "is not safe." "It killed my daughter, and I want it off the market," said Patterson, whose daughter, a Livermore 18-year-old, died in 2003.
Note: The latest victim reportely took only the second part of the RU-486 regimen. Acting alone, RU-486 is able to induce an abortion only between 64% and 85% of the time, a rate abortifacient researchers consider "inadequate for general clinical use." (NRLC) This is why, two days after taking the RU486, a woman is given a prostaglandin, usually misoprostol (trade name: Cytotec), to induce powerful uterine contractions to expel the shriveled corpse.
