The Detroit News. Pro-choice advocates in Metro Detroit on Thursday hailed the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the French abortion pill as altering the landscape of reproductive freedom. But critics warn that RU-486 will increase the number of abortions and risks to women. It will be another choice for women who choose abortion. It still takes the life of an unborn child.
Women deserve better options.
But critics of abortion worry about the drug's effect on women's health, such as hemorrhaging during the procedure, or required hospitalization afterward. We want to go in and come out not pregnant. You can take these pills and have the same thing happen to you. It's going to make the women think there's an easier way to do it. I can't believe it's taken this long to approve.
