Two more Women Killed after taki

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced to the public last Friday (March 17, 2006) that two more women's lives have been claimed because of the Abortion pill RU-486 (Mifeprex). Danco Laboratories, the manufacturer of the drug reported the tragic deaths quietly to the FDA. The two most recent deaths received their procedures at Planned Parenthood clinics. The long running dispute between the FDA and Planned Parenthood over this pill-based abortion and the safest way to provide it has now cost two more women their lives. FDA now reports that six women in the United States and seven in Canada have died from this drug. Reporting the drug side effects in the United States is voluntary, so it could be possible that more women have died and their deaths have gone unreported. Now people are asking what is being done about this outrage. The FDA has decided to hold a 'workshop' in May 11 to investigate RU-486. Yes, May 2006--two months away! Young women are taking this drug and dying, while we wait for the FDA to hold its "workshop" in a couple months to get a better understanding of the risk factors. How much more investigating is needed? How many more women die needlessly? Ask the family of Holly Patterson who died in September 2003 after being given RU-486. The Religious Freedom Coalition is among dozens of groups urging Congress to act now to pull this dangerous drug off the market. The RFC has been working with Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, sponsor of Holly's Law (H.R. 1079) which would suspend FDA's fast-track approval of RU-486. Has your congressman agreed to sponsor this important lifesaving bill? Contact your congressman. Women need to be protected from this drug now, not after the "workshop" has been held.
