Canadian Physicians for Life comment on RU-486 (mifepristone)

November 28, 2013

The potent anti-hormone RU-486 has caused the deaths of millions of unborn children worldwide. We are saddened that any number of the smallest preborn Canadian children could soon be added to that list of deaths. RU-486 can and has been used to surreptitiously poison a wanted pregnancy. RU-486 abortions also require a companion drug, misoprostol, whose manufacturer has stated:

“Serious adverse events reported following off-label use of misoprostol in pregnant women include maternal or fetal death; uterine hyperstimulation, rupture or perforation requiring uterine surgical repair, hysterectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy; amniotic fluid embolism; severe vaginal bleeding, retained placenta, shock, fetal bradycardia and pelvic pain.”

This is death we are talking about, not just of the unborn babies but sometimes of the mothers themselves. Maternal death in the course of the unnecessary and intentional destruction of a child should be seen as a special tragedy and a repudiation of all that is good in the Canadian medical system. We protest the importation into Canada of RU-486, a grievous misuse of medical science.
