Colleges Refusing to Order RU-486
WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (LSN.ca) - Danco Laboratories is expected to begin shipping the abortion drug RU-486 under the name of Mifeprex to abortionists this week. The Wall Street Journal reports today that the Rockefeller-backed Danco has set the price of the three-pill abortion at $270 (US) which does not include the cost of misoprostol (needed to expel the baby killed by mifepristone), nor the cost of abortionists' fees, counselling fees or other expenses. Not surprisingly, most orders have come in from Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics, but the paper is predicting that many doctors will provide medical abortion with the mifepristone. The drugs can by ordered by abortionists from the websites of Danco, the National Abortion Federation and Planned Parenthood. (Wall Street Journal, November 14, 2000)
Meanwhile, American Life League (ALL) is reporting that "Colleges from Maine to Florida have formed a blockade against the RU-486 regimen." A lengthy ALL survey of dozens of US colleges found that all colleges contacted said they were refusing RU-486. Campus physicians and gynecologists warn of the "dangerous ramifications" of the RU-486 regimen. "It's an extremely dangerous process," said Dr. Christine Peterson, director of student health at the University of Virginia.
