An RU-486 abortion requires a minimum of three visits to a doctor's office, with a 5 percent likelihood of surgery at the end of the process. Dr. Henderson raised the financial hardship three visits might cause and the logistical complications the working poor would have in taking time off to complete the procedure. A dead child left in a woman's uterus would cause severe medical complications. Well that's a relief. But the fact is, force is a key part of the plan.
Legal coercion is what makes a contract binding.
No longer will abortionists be able to conceal from pregnant mothers the actual results of their procedure. The blood, literally, will be on each mother's hands. With Ross Perot in the race, Mr. Clinton's predicted margin of victory is the same. A July 16 Lou Harris poll had President Clinton's lead among registered voters at 22 points. Mr. Dole's team also tried to compete in the vice-presidential medley relay, to little effect.
