The TIME (http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1653411,00.html) headline is ironic: “Study Finds Abortion Pill Safe.” Safe for whom exactly? Certainly not for the millions of pre-born children who have died when their mothers took it. Nor is it “safe” for their mothers.
The August 15 article by Sara Song (and the story run by AP on August 16) touts the findings released in the New England Journal of Medicine that show use of the RU-486 abortion pill “in the long term, is safe.”
That’s a message the feminist influenced, pro-choice media want to promote. In her article Song wrote “women who use mifepristone (RU 486) are no better or worse off than those who choose surgical abortion” and that “most existing research shows that surgical abortions have no effect on overall health risks.”
That statement is flatly false. As reported in LifeNews.com (http://www.lifenews.com/nat3282.html), there is plenty of research that shows that women with a “history of abortion have a greater risk of fetal loss than women who had no previous abortions.” Further, there is medical evidence that links abortions to breast cancer and sterility.
But reporting facts like that doesn’t fit the mainstream media’s pro-choice agenda. NewsBusters (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kristen-fyfe/2007/08/17/time-ru-kidding)
