What it isn’t: RU-486 is not the so-called “morning after pill.” That’s yet another drug developed
by the abortion industry to kill innocent human life.
How it works: RU-486 blocks the hormone progesterone. This starves and suffocates the baby to
death — slowly and painfully — over a period of three to four agonizing days. But in many cases, RU-486
doesn’t work alone. Another drug that induces contractions to expel the baby is also given.
Risks: The greatest risk of RU-486 is, of course, to the life of the baby. This drug was designed to kill,
plain and simple. But RU-486 also presents serious threats to the mother. It can cause:
- Severe cramps
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Dizziness
- Diarrhea
- Heavy bleeding — which can continue for 30 days or more.
- Fever
- Viral infections
- Allergic reactions — including facial swelling and numbing of hands and feet.
- Chills and shaking
- Cardiopulmonary problems — including high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and possibly heart attack.
- Emotional trauma — including overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame, confusion, and remorse.
But it gets worse. In some cases, RU-486 results in a failed or incomplete abortion. When that happens, the risks are more dire:
- Infection and death
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Birth defects — Misoprostol, the drug often given with RU-486, has been linked to birth defects such as fused joints, stunted growth, and facial paralysis.
More dangerous than surgical abortion:
According to a new study, RU-486 poses greater threats than even surgical abortion. For example, with RU-486:
- 49% more women will seek emergency room help.
- 14 times more women will be readmitted to the hospital for post-abortion treatment.
- Women are 16 times more likely to suffer a severe hemorrhage.
- Women are 3 times more likely to be admitted to the hospital for infection.
