Thanks to Finland for what appears to be an unbiased study finding a 20% rate of complications from RU-486.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.
