Two more deaths after RU-486 in US

Two more deaths after RU-486 in US

Once again we hear of more deaths because women have been misled into believing that RU486 is a safe and effective alternative to surgical abortion. Even after the announcement of two more deaths there is an unwillingness to accept that RU486 is neither a safe or an effective alternative for women who insist upon going through with an abortion.

In the USA the abortion mills that are run by Planned Parenthood are the main sources of providing women with this chemical cocktail that can lead to certain death. Planned Parenthood is not interested in saving lives. It only wants to kill the child within the womb, and it would seem that if the mother just happens to die as well, then let's just pass the buck.

I remain totally against abortion on demand, but if so long as this evil is legally sanctioned, then the means of carrying out the grisley task of killing babies must be done in such a way that the mother's life is not in jeopardy. The abortion drug RU486 fails to meet the safety criteria and it should be pulled from the market.

As far as Australia is concerned, the female members of the parliament who were so stupid that they voted in favour of making a change to the main safeguard against allowing maternal deaths to rise, need to think carefully about what they have done. Do they really think that they are advancing the rights of women by trying to force this unsafe abortion alternative into the Australian abortion mill market? For shame on both the women and men who thoughtlessly voted to take this power away from the Minister of Health without even checking the safety record of RU486.

Addenda: Since I wrote this post the FDA have announced that in the case of these two women, one woman's death was not related to RU486. The other case is still under investigation. However, they also claimed that there was no link between RU486 and the bacteria C. sordellii. The way in which this lack of a link was determined is questionable. In this case the FDA tested for bacteria in batches of Mifepristone and Misoprostone. The reason that it is questionable is that the bacteria itself is naturally occurring within some women. It is because Mifepristone works to suppress the immune system that a woman who has this bacteria anyway is at a greater risk than a woman who does not have the bacteria.

What this means therefore, is that the FDA have sought a way to be able to claim the lack of a link by doing an unnecessary test that was likely to give a negative result. This kind of testing is totally unprofessional.
