1 Its time to ban this 486 its a dangerous drug and to heck with what the over populationists freaks say

2 Ironic, to say the least; but no, it won't be banned, even if it's 50/50 odds of death for the girl.

3 It WAS banned for JUST this reason, but the abortion lobby is HUGE! See, if it was an actual MEDICAL drug, rather than a drug of self mutilation, then there would be quintillion dollar class action lawsuits filed already, but it's politicaly expediate to ignore the repercussions of this drug, then there is nothing to worry about, RU 486 will survive. As a question? WHY is RU 486 necessary? aren't there a whole HOST of medical drugs that force miscarriage with FEWER side affects? and haven't they been used for a LONG time?

4 These reports are not new. The mechanisms of action of mifepristone have been incorporated into the pathophysiology of septic shock due to C. sordellii. Mifepristone, by blocking both progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors, interferes with the controlled release and functioning of cortisol and cytokines. Failure of physiologically controlled cortisol and cytokine responses results in an impaired innate immune system that results in disintegration of the body's defense system necessary to prevent the endometrial spread of C. sordellii infection. The abnormal cortisol and cytokine responses due to mifepristone coupled to the release of potent exotoxins and an endotoxin from C. sordellii are the major contributors to the rapid development of lethal septic shock. This is not unique to RU 486. Fatal C. sordellii infections following child birth and knee surgery have also been reported. In English: If you plan on taking RU486, you should first test for C. sordelli, a rare gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that can be easily detected with commercially available kits.

5 Or use a rubber.

6 Oyster said: "Or use a rubber." My thoughts exactly.

7 Guys can always pic up a copy of the Scott Baio photo scrap book and rub one out.

8 Why not...just...publisize this and let the girl decide for herself if its worth the risk? Personaly responsibility? Why, thats something liberals have to champion now and then, it seems. I swear, American politics...

9 Four of the seven US women to die got their abortion drugs at Planned Parenthood, and two at National Abortion Federation facilities. Only Brenda Vise, the woman with an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy, got hers at a fly-by-night abortion mill. If this is the care women get at the "best" facilities, what is happening to the women at the seedy places?

10 The thing is too that they don't really know how many deaths can be attributed to the drug because the coroner either didn't know about the woman taking it or simply didn't make the connection. They just enter the cause of death as septicemia brought on by severe infection.

11 i would like to say that the pill should be banned. I took the pill , i knew there were some risks but they never told me i would have problems with future pregnancy's. After taking the pill i suffered 3 miscarriages all after the third trimester which is very rare (especially if your in perfect health) the first one almost killed me i hemorgaged so bad and lost so much blood so quick they even told my husband i might not make it. now i find out that this pill could this nice time to tell people!!!!! I'm 21 yrs old and can't have any kids no one told me THAT risk!!!!!!!!!!

12 I'm not against abortion in any way but this is not safe just because a women has an abortion once doesn't mean she never wants kids and this pill might not give you a choice
