Abortion Drug Company Boasts That 460,000 American Babies Were Killed in Five Years

NEW YORK, July 19, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - More than 460,000 US women have used the abortion drug, RU-486, to kill their unborn children since the US Food and Drug Administration approved sale of the drug in 2000, the abortifacient's manufacturer, Danco Laboratories, boasted in a press release Monday.

"Mifeprex® has been available in the U.S. for almost 5 years, and more than 460,000 women in this country have chosen it for early abortion since FDA approval in September 2000," the Danco press release stated.

Campaign Life Coalition spokesman Rhonda Wood told LifeSiteNews.com, "I've been involved in the pro-life movement for 17 years," adding, "it still blows me away that no one is considering the life that is being killed."

The Danco press release was issued after the manufacturer decided to include a warning on the drug's label citing potentially fatal side effects.
