Internet RU-486 abortions are happening today. In fact, Iowa Planned Parenthoods have been testing them for a couple years now.
They need to do it because some parts of the state are so remote that there aren’t any doctors available to administer the RU-486 abortion pills (the doctor has to watch a patient take it). But Planned Parenthood still wants to make money so the abortion giant came up with the idea that the doctor would be on a computer screen with a webcam and talk to the patient that way. Then the doctor would push a button remotely and a drawer with the RU-486 pills would open up where the patient was and she would take the pill while the doctor watched. Problem solved!
But not really. RU-486 is dangerous and painful. Women can have complications, some of them severe and even deadly. What will happen to those women who have problems after taking RU-486 and there aren’t any doctors around?
Back in February, pro-life blogger Jill Stanek followed Angie Jackson, a woman who tweeted her own abortion by RU-486. It went on for at least 8 days and Angie was in immense pain, which is certainly not uncommon for this kind of abortion.
This isn’t the first time Planned Parenthood has tried to alter the way RU-486 is supposed to be taken.
According to LifeSiteNews.com, “until 2006, Planned Parenthood told women to take the drugs Misoprostol and Mifepristone (RU 486) vaginally. This occurred despite FDA protocol instructing women to take the drugs orally. When five patients died from the drug combination, Planned Parenthood quietly changed the policy to fall in line with FDA protocol.”
But that’s not all.
“A report from the Family Research Council advised that although Planned Parenthood changed its guidelines for dispensing RU-386 in 2006, its defiance of FDA protocol continues in other ways as well. In addition to altering the suggested dosage, Planned Parenthood urges women to take one of the drugs at home, disregarding the FDA’s warning that the second portion of the pill regime ‘should be done in a medical office to monitor women for complications.’”
Now, not only will these women be taking the drugs at home, but they will be without any recourse to see a doctor immediately.
Planned Parenthood not only could care less about the unborn baby but also about the mother.
I have the right to abort if I so choose.
Being able to do so at home without having to walk through a gauntlet of people like you at the clinic seems like a better idea to me. You don’t understand the stress, fear, and humiliation you people cause a woman. And the hindering of society’s growth away from such beliefs, whether its legal or not, abortions will always happen.. its not your right to take that away. If you don’t want to do it-dont.
What you should be pushing for is proper warnings for “schemes” like this, as to prevent more unsuspecting victims. Also, if their going to do it it means they’ve already decided to, so why not just try to make it safer for them, rather than continue to disrupt the medical field from studying such things and discovering newer safer ways to go about birth control and abortion.
