Under reported story

Over
the course of the last 20 years no one has written more intelligently
or in greater depth about the two-drug RU-486 abortion technique than
Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon, NRLC’s Director of Education. The two latest
examples of his scholarship can be read at http://nrlc.cc/13KEYVg and http://nrlc.cc/ZEIaVt, but there are dozens and dozens more.
From the earliest days in the Clinton Administration, Dr. O’Bannon carefully demonstrated how pro-abortionists greased the skids to make it possible for RU-486 to be distributed in the United States. The earliest slogans were variations of how “natural” RU-486 abortions supposedly were (like a “miscarriage”), and certainly how “easy” and “painless” they were. In fact, they are anything but natural and often incredibly painful, not to mention dangerous. The agony is, in many cases, excruciating and women have died after ingesting this power chemical “cocktail.”
Over at liveactionnews.org, Sarah Terzo has compiled a number of quotations, many from pro-abortion sources, that demonstrate how much pain can and is associated with these “medical abortions” (as pro-abortionists like to call them). Here are just two examples.
Terzo quotes from an article from the Boston Phoenix, which details the RU-486 abortion this woman had at six weeks.
Chemical abortions, used in conjunction with webcams, make it possible for abortionists to kill many more unborn babies in rural locales. It also hugely increases the risks to the mother, because the abortionist is not on site; indeed, he could be hundreds of miles away.

Over at liveactionnews.org, Sarah Terzo has compiled a number of quotations, many from pro-abortion sources, that demonstrate how much pain can and is associated with these “medical abortions” (as pro-abortionists like to call them). Here are just two examples.
Terzo quotes from an article from the Boston Phoenix, which details the RU-486 abortion this woman had at six weeks.
“Back at the dorm, hours later, I
know that I writhed in my twin bed, suffering from debilitating,
convulsing cramps. My roommates, best friend, and boyfriend hovered
around; they brought me pain killers, Tiger Balm, hot-water bottles, and
applesauce, and all the while they stroked my head and conferenced in
the background about how I was doing. I bled profusely as my body
rejected the fetus that had been described to me as “the size of a grain
of rice.” I threw up. And finally, I fell asleep.”
Terzo follows that up a post that appeared on the pro-life website Pregnant Pause
“The pain made me scream in tortuous
wails. I lay on my boyfriend’s couch, the first night alone, and
writhed, twisted and contorted my body praying that either I would die
or the pain would stop. I called the emergency number they gave me and
told them that the pain killers were not working. They said very
callously that there was nothing more they could do for me, informing me
that this is normal and to just wait it out. After two nights of what I
thought would end this nightmare I began to bleed, a little. On the
third day after the contractions I passed the first “tissue” mass. I
thought, that’s it, it’s over, now I can begin to heal, right?
WRONG!!!!!!
About one and a half weeks later
while watching TV I began to feel very ill, and began to cramp up again.
Thinking this must be normal (yeah right), at first I thought nothing
of it. Within two hours I began to bleed very heavily. The bleeding
became increasing worse; eventually I couldn’t get off the toilet. I
began to pass blood clots the size of golf balls, and yet another fleshy
mass. The cramps became contraction and the bleeding became
uncontrollable, I went through a pack of maximum strength maxi pads
inside of 12 hours. While sleeping the first night I ruined three pairs
of P.J. pants. I again called the emergency number the clinic provided
me with and they said it was normal and to just wait it out.
The next day the bleeding was still
relentless and the pain only bearable because I was still breathing. I
called the clinic, again, and they told me that the doctor said it was a
“delayed abortion”. There was still nothing they could do and it was
normal. I lay all day bleeding, crying and thinking I must be crazy. As
the day progressed it became increasingly hard for me to get up and walk
to the bathroom. I began to pass out if I stood up. It finally got to
the point that my boyfriend had to carry me to the bathroom, because I
could no longer stand. Again we called the emergency number and they
said if it was that bad I needed to come in. I asked them how they
propose I do that since I cannot be more than 5 minutes away from a
bathroom, and when I stand up I pass out. At this point I was distressed
and angry that I had to endure such suffering, but at the same time I
thought maybe I deserved it. After all, it was my fault and my choice
not to keep this baby. I knew it was God punishing me for killing one
of his children. Even though my boyfriend, Tom, didn’t want the baby, it was my body, my choice, my suffering, and my consequences.
I called my regular GYN and described
the situation to him, he said I needed to go to the emergency room
immediately. Upon arrival at the ER they put me in a wheel chair and I
waited no more than 10 minutes before I was blood-soaked from the waist
down. They rushed me through triage, where they discovered my blood
pressure was roughly 60 over 52. The doctors met me in my room where
they immediately put me on I.V. fluids and drew blood. I described what
was happening over the last 24 hours and the events that had led up to
my visit in the ER. The next 12 hours were degrading, humiliating,
painful, stressful, and virtually unbearable.”
Terzo adds, “She needed 2 pints of blood and a D&C and was told
that if she had not come to the emergency room, she would have died.’Chemical abortions, used in conjunction with webcams, make it possible for abortionists to kill many more unborn babies in rural locales. It also hugely increases the risks to the mother, because the abortionist is not on site; indeed, he could be hundreds of miles away.
