That sounds pretty gruesome...

so was she using the drug to late or do fragments that small cause problems? I only ask since i'm prochoice and this could be bad for that(if its dangerous thogh i say take it away though)

As the article states, this is a rare occurence with RU-486 and it's not even yet known whether there were complications in this case. I can't stand it when groups (in this case anti-abortion ones) try to make an example out of something like this. What's more upsetting is that the morning after pill tends to be grouped with chemical abortion pills when it is only a larger dose of normal oral contraceptive. Adam Carolla has gone on many great rants about the this subject.
Why do anti-abortion groups not support the availability of prescription-free emergency contraceptive? There would be fewer abortions (chemical or surgical) wouldn't there? It's because they are Pro-Consequences and Pro- Telling You What to Do, not Pro-Life. That being said, I think RU-486 should be one of the last options for birth control, not the first. |
Actually that tends to be the heart of the debate you see. Where opposing views believe 'life' begins. But I think this kind of argument would probably be better in philosophy.
Everything else aside, it's a shame to see another person leave the world. Jdoe |
yah... something that really pissed me off was that my schools paper said "she died after taking RU-486 the morning after pill"
lame... i think its too bad this happened... and that the antiabortion zealots are gonna grab at this and could use it to get some of the the chemical abortion pills and possibly the morning after pills off the market... |
Isn't there a small window of oppurtunity to take that pill? Perhaps she waited too long and the fetus was bigger than usual for the pill to work properly.

It was probably just a fluke. More women die from giving birth than taking any kind of abortion pill/morning after pill. Poor girl. That is what happens when you can't talk to you parents about your personal life... you make stupid decisions.

It is so unusual for this to happen that it makes national news. But when was the last time a woman dying during child birth made the news? |

Sorry for digressing, this should probably be in Philosophy/Politics. |

This is a pretty shocking story, as much as I'm against abortion I also believe in free will.
But if she was severly bleeding and with abdominal cramps.. why was she just sent home? That doesn't sound right to me what so ever, that's seems to be where the problem as started.. as it says in 5-8% of the cases where women use this drug surgery is needed to stop the bleeding. I think that possibly information was withheld from the nurse, if she had told the nurse that she had just taken the abortion pill then there might have been more looked into it. But still... Who can you really blame? We live in a strange world.. :( |

Let's see how many threads we can have the "It's a baby as soon as the sperm pierces the egg v. It's a baby when it ______" discussion on.
Its sad when most people die. The cause seems statistically flukelike though so i think it is irrelevant. |
