R U 486 R U Crazy

Melissa Strafford of the Boston Medical Center presented the following results of her study at the recent American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists annual meeting.  RU 486, the abortion drug, failed to complete the abortion process for 16% of the women getting the drug 48 hours apart, and 23% for the women getting 2 drugs simultaneously.

What!  RU 486 was supposed to be a miracle drug, at least a miracle killing drug.  Surgical abortions were supposed to be over.  These failure rates and the need for surgical abortion presents a big problem for women and an even bigger problem for the drug company.  

The manufacturer and promoters of  RU 486 have told women that the abortifacient offers them a way to have an abortion without the risk of surgery.  Obviously, just like the lie, abortion is good for women, RU 486 promoters will have to think of something else.
