Always touted as “safe and effective” the drug was accepted without question by abortion providers.
Think of it: “just” 20%. That means one out of every five females having taken RU-486 will have at least one significant complication.

A major concern when the FDA put its stamp of approval on the drug was the lack of testing of the drug.
Looking at the statistics from Finland showing 20% of the women using RU-486 suffer at least one significant complication reminds me of the history of the abortion pill after it was put on the market in the United States.
It behooves us to remember that the birth control pill was approved by the FDA in 1963 after nine years of testing outside the United States. (What should we have cared if it proved deadly to those foreign women who were given the pill!)
Within the next ten years, I (personally) saw various complications, including several strokes, plus one death.
Ah, so the pill was altered to be a “low-dosage” pill. This year, 40 years later, we are seeing many strange things credited to the pill, including water pollution.
Regardless of how effective RU-486 is in ending a pregnancy, apparently there are no current testing for complications that might occur after 49-63 days. Certainly, we know of none in the United States.
Just as a surgical abortion artificially ends a pregnancy – the natural bodily process after fertilization, RU-486 also artificially interrupts the natural process of a pregnancy.
The old commercial which said “You can’t fool Mother Nature” should be reconsidered. Mother Nature will react and the women who have unnaturally ended their pregnancies will be the victim of that reaction. It may be physical, emotional, or spiritual – possibly all three – but there will be a reaction! Some will be more severe than others and we can never know who will suffer the most.

With finalization of the Health Care bills scheduled for January 2010, time is of the essence. Please contact your U.S. Senators and U.S. Representative as soon as possible. Now is a good time to reach them by letter, phone or e-mail. Regardless of the medium you use, please remember to:
- Be firm, but not angry. Ask questions, and ask for a response. Be persistent.
- Include your other health care concerns in your message. Many of you have already received massive amounts of information and opinions on this legislation. Your concerns may be more than the pro-life issues that are the reason for this alert.
The most effective means of contact will also be the most time consuming: a hand-written letter! Send your letter by snail-mail to their Washington offices.
In Colorado, address your letter(s) to:
Sen. Mark Udall or Sen. Michael Bennet
U.S. Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
And in the Pikes Peak area, our U.S. Congressman is:
Rep. Doug Lamborn
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Explain your concerns for the health and lives of the vulnerable, as well as how your personal health care and that of your family may be adversely affected. Ask questions, such as:
- Will you oppose any healthcare reform bill that uses my tax dollars to pay for abortions?
- Will you oppose any healthcare reform bill that, in any way, promotes euthanasia?
- Will you oppose any such bill that limits my access to healthcare or medicines recommended by my doctor?
- Will you guarantee that any healthcare reform bill passed by Congress will always allow me to choose my own doctor?
Expect to receive a “form letter” reply to your first contact, such as a recent e-mail response from Michael Bennet, which included this sentence: “As the Senate continues to consider reform of our health care system, I will keep your thoughts in mind.”
Write a second letter, responding to the elected official’s letter. You want to know exactly how he will vote on upcoming healthcare bills that contain unacceptable conditions. Let him know that you’re also referring to amendments that may be considered that have those conditions that may have been deleted from the main piece of legislation.
Finally, write a third letter, letting the congressman or senator knows your reaction to their second response.
Please keep in mind – handwritten letters may actually be read by your senators or representative. Congressional aides or office staff normally handle all other correspondence.

Labor Day ended the Colorado State Fair and the last of summer booths for PPCFL. With tremendous cooperation and assistance from Pro-Life of Southern Colorado, we were able to stock and staff our first-time booth as PPCL at the State Fair.
The soft-touch 12-week babies were a tremendous hit. A lady with two little girls stopped by the booth and took a baby for each girl. They were at the booth a long time as she explained things to them. In a little while, one of the girls came running back to tell the booth workers: “Now that I have this little baby, I am going to pray every night that no one will want to get rid of their little baby.”
We cannot adequately express our appreciation for all of the volunteers who gave their time, energy and travel to staff that booth, as well as those good people who were willing to have their names on a “substitute” list.
