Another Fatal Infection After RU-486 Abortion


By Randall K. O’Bannon, Ph.D., NRL-ETF Director of Education & Research

The death of another woman who was chemically aborted using RU-486 has been revealed. A case report on a 31-year old woman in Britain who died in 2010 was published in the July 2013, issue of the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The website abortionpillrisks.org brought this case (as it has others) to wider public attention and provided additional details.

As was the case with several other women who underwent a RU-486 abortion, this woman died of a fatal Clostridium infection, though in her case it was the Clostridium septicum variant. As with other species of Clostridium, these anaerobic bacteria are common in the human intestinal tract, but do not normally cause problems unless an area becomes inflamed or necrotic (dead or dying cells).

Though infections are rare, they are sometimes found among patients who have conditions like peripheral vascular disease or diabetes (conditions characterized by poor circulation), or in patients who have experienced some tissue damage due to surgery or trauma such as malignancy, burns, or skin infection. A miscarriage where bacteria enter the uterus can also be a trigger.
