Ru486 is mifeprex (mifepristone), the abortion pill

mifeprex is the brand name of mifepristone in the u.S., and is sometimes referred to as non-surgical abortion, medical abortion, or ru486. Non-surgical abortions using ru486 are performed in the first 63 days of the first trimester. Non-surgical abortion is usually in pill form (mifeprex or ru486), and sometimes by injection or in liquid form (methotrexate). If you call a clinic seeking a non-surgical abortion, make sure you know which version you will be receiving. The side effects and the costs can vary between mifeprex (ru486) and methotrexate. Mifeprex (ru486) is approved by the fda for non-surgical abortion.

The most common non-surgical abortion is performed with mifeprex or ru486. For more detailed information on mifeprex, please visit www.Mifeprex.Com. Mifeprex is provided through a doctor’s office or clinic. Many women choose mifeprex to avoid surgery. Others feel that mifeprex is more private because they can end their pregnancy at home. Some feel that it is more natural than a surgical abortion. Non-surgical abortion with mifeprex will stop your pregnancy from growing and vaginal suppositories will help expel your pregnancy. Because there is a chance of failure with mifeprex, you must be willing to have a surgical abortion if the procedure fails. In addition, you must be able to commit to two or more visits to the clinic.

Ru486 is an .F.D.A approved drug - but so was phen fen...


The makers of the drug are questioning its safety.


Ru486 has a chemical effect that health question the baby.


As

anthrax has a chemical effect that also health question human beings.

What's phen fen?

It was a drug that was .F.D.A approved. It was a super slimming tablet that many women used durring the late 80's early 90's women who used it eventually got many problems a hell of a lot died and many are still under excessive treatment. Eventually the drug was banned by the .F.D.A after a doctor who recieved many threats from the drug manufacture went public.

There are many fda approved drugs that end up having adverse effects. They just recently banned ephedra.
All drugs can cause death sami if taken in certain ways.

But this is not a debate forum, facts only. Proven, written facts. No just a quote from someone.

Private and more natural? Obviously ending a pregnancy, especially healthy ones, are not very natural at all.

first off, none of your definitions are accurate descriptions of the procedures, do a little more homework (and I don't mean from your local cpc or heavy handed religious right org du jour) and then talk to us. Most of what you wrote is just reactionary propaganda.



As for natural, if a woman's natural inclination is to not want children, or a child at that time in her life, and she becomes pregnant for whatever reason, it is then, natural for her to terminate the pregnancy. Women have been doing it for as long as there has been a rudimentary knowledge of herbs. Just because reliable surgical procedures have only recently (in human history) been developed doesn't mean women didn't terminate pregnancies of their own will. It's only in the 20th century when churches learned of the "great abortion debate" that they found one further way they could control people, and made up the morality arguement. And if a "healthy" pregnancy would otherwise create an unhealthy mother, why should an inviable creature's potential life take priority over hers??

Ahhh abortion, one more tool in controlling women via forced motherhood.



Why don't you take care of some unwanted babies, or perhaps some older children who are abused because their parents never wanted to become parents, and then think again about how you go on preaching.

You think the debate is just about controlling women? They will do what they want, personally I don't condone abortion. And it should certainly be considered the last option and not taken lightly.

Just because something has been going on for ages does not justify an action either. That does not make it right. Torcher has been going on just as long if not longer than abortion, does that justify it or make it right?

As for that "inviable creature" ... Why do you call it a creature, is it not human, do they ever come out not human? It isn't just a creature, it is a human being, granted it is in a certain stage of development that all humans must go through, but does that prohibit it the right to continue to live? It is not potential life, it is life, it is alive... Birth is not where human life begins.

Secondly, it is viable according to the first definition which is "capable of living, developing, or germinating under favorable conditions" ... And the favorable condition for a zygote or fetus is in the womb. But abortion is ok because if you take a zygote or a fetus out of the womb it will die?

So let's send people outside of the earth's atmosphere w/ no space suits, it's ok, because they aren't viable outside of the earth's atmosphere, that's their fault.

Thirdly, abortion is not surgery, surgery is defined as:
1. The branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of injury, deformity, and disease by manual and instrumental means.
2. A surgical operation or procedure, especially one involving the removal or replacement of a diseased organ or tissue

lastly, who was preaching in this set of posts? There were simply two people that listed some supposed methods of abortion. If they were wrong, then correct them, I myself would like to know as much about the procedure as possible, but for some reason it does not seem too easy to find it reliably... However, no one was preaching.

Don't count on samie's posts for reliable information.....You will be seriously misled.

I'm not, that's why I said I can't find "reliable" sources for abortion procedures or facts. I mean they are out there, but to me, the whole abortion industry seems a bit secretive, why isn't it a little more open about what it does and what is being done? And don't tell me right to privacy. They can release general information or statistics without breaching anyone's confidentiality. It is done with many other procedures.

It doesn't seem secretive to me at all. Statistics are not reliable anyway, so what would be the point in wasting time trying to calculate them? They do have stats about abortion out there though. It is about as reliable as any other stats: not very.
