Woman Says Boyfriend Who Tried to Cause Abortion Abused Her Too
Appleton, WI (LifeNews.com) -- A Wisconsin woman who says her boyfriend tried to make her have an abortion by putting the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone (RU 486) into a drink also physically abused her. Darshana Patel says Manishkumar M. Patel hurt her to the extent that she jumped from a moving vehicle once to escape him. Darshana obtained a restraining order against Manishkumar last month and now he has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide for trying to cause Darshana to abort her twin babies. According to court records the Associated Press obtained, Darshana said Manishkumar abused her physically and emotionally on repeated occasions but she stayed with him even though his divorce with another woman was not finalized. Darshana became suspicious after she had two miscarries in one year and noticed white powder on the cup of a drink Manishkumar prepared. Police labs later confirmed the powder was the dangerous abortion drug Manishkumar has purchased in India. Darshana Patel's concern for her baby led her to obtain the restraining order after he hit her once and blackened her eye and cut her lip. According to the AP report, she was "afraid (for) my safety and my unborn child's safety."

FDA Asks Maker of Abortion Drug Mifepristone for Safety Plan by September
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The Food and Drug Administration has asked the makers of 25 drugs, including the dangerous abortion pill mifepristone (RU 486), to submit safety plans later this year. The FDA published the list of drugs needing safety plans in the latest issue of the Federal Register and abortion drug maker Danco Laboratories made the list. The drug manufacturers must devise a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) plan and submit it to the agency by September 21. Those who don't comply by the deadline face "enforcement action," which could include monetary penalties from FDA officials. Amendments to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act are requiring the safety plans. They enable the FDA to require plans from makers of new drugs just appearing on market or those with safety issues. The RU 486 abortion drug has had significant safety issues since its initial approval at the tail end of the Clinton administration. To this point, the RU 486 abortion drug has killed 13 women worldwide. According to FDA reports as of December 2006, there have now been eight known deaths associated with mifepristone in the U.S., nine life-threatening incidents, 116 blood transfusions, and 232 hospitalizations.

I think that this drug is not entirely safe. To have these types of numbers can make it a dangerous drug. I know all drugs can have a side effect some even causing death to occur. This is a reason I do not take drugs even the OTC types.
