This article was written to counter some of the misinformation contained in the book " @entity3927 : Misconceptions, Myths and Morals." The book concludes that use of @entity3927 constitutes yet another form of medical violence against @entity1 which will have unknown longterm effects. One of the major goals of the @entity1 's health movement is to disseminate information about @entity1 's health through information networks which also expose abusive reproductive health practices. Critiques about new products and procedures are important because what is considered clinically safe may pose problems for @entity1 in practice. While the book on @entity3927 is important from this viewpoint, it lacks careful scrutiny of its criticisms. Thus, the book suggests that animal testing has been inadequate at 17 months when, in fact, this time frame meets all standards for a single dose drug. The authors also mislabel the exclusion criterion for experimental trials as "contraindications" for use and claim that this incorrectly inflated number of contraindications prohibits the use of @entity3927 as a viable alternative to other methods of abortion. In several instances the authors present inaccurate information about the pharmacodynamics and dosages of the drugs involved. The use of @entity2918 is also unjustly criticized by drawing comparisons with other uses of the @entity2918 which involve different doses and delivery periods. The authors act irresponsibly when they suggest that @entity6003 with @entity3927 may result in uterine @entity5 or that the simultaneous use of @entity117 will result in an almost guaranteed @entity6003 . Additional ill-founded remarks overemphasize the failure rate, demand unrealistic guarantees about fetal abnormality, and charge that the World Health Organization has "discarded" suction curettage abortion. The book grew out of valid concerns and raises important questions about the best ways to serve @entity1 's interests, but these concerns and questions are obfuscated by unsubstantiated and far-flung claims.
