FDA report on abortion drug RU-486's adverse effects, 14 women dead

The Food and Drug Administration released an "adverse event summary" for the abortion drug mifepristone, also known as RU-486. The report indicates that 14 women in the United States have died after taking the abortion drug. The report also notes that there were 2,207 adverse events (or complications), 612 hospitalizations, and 339 cases of where women experienced so much blood loss, they required blood transfusions. There were also 58 cases of ectopic pregnancy. Abortionists are supposed to check for ectopic pregnancies before prescribing RU-486 because RU-486 can't end a pregnancy outside the womb.
