RU
safe
and simple?
A new study provides fresh information on potential harm of the
abortion drug, RU-486.
The study comes from Finland and was published in the American Journal
of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Randall O'Bannon of National Right
to Life tells OneNewsNow that what the public typically sees from the
abortion industry is a claim that RU-486, also known as Mifeprex, is a
safe and simple process for abortions.
"But this latest study from Finland shows that at least 20 percent of
the women that use RU-486, the abortion pill, they suffer from at least
one significant complication, and in many cases, from two
complications," O'Bannon reports.
The three most significant problems are hemorrhaging, infection and
incomplete abortions, which are the same troubles patients face in
surgical abortions. Resulting from the chemical method, 15.6 percent of
those undergoing this form of abortion hemorrhaged while 1.7 percent
encountered infection and 6.7 percent experienced incomplete abortions.
O'Bannon feels that one of the reasons America does not report the
figures is because, "we have people that control the data. The abortion
industry keeps all of this very close to the vest, and so the only time
you can get data is if they are willing to share it," he says. "They
report some of these things to the FDA, but whether they report all of
them, we don't know."
The lesson from the new study is that people need to make themselves
aware of the hype about RU-486's safety and the pitch that it is
somehow more safe or simple than other abortion methods. The public
needs to consider the possibility that RU-486 is not being honest about
its issues.
