Only Germany Legalized the Drug Itself EUROPE, July 12 (LSN) - In reporting last week that eight European countries legalized the RU-486 abortion pill (now called Mifegyne), the mainstream media neglected to mention that Germany was the only nation which accepted the deadly pill on its own accord. Mifegyne was imposed upon Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Greece and Holland by the European Union, which requires that “national laws of member countries be ‘homogenized’ to communal decisions.” The only members of the European Union spared the abortion drug’s imposition were Portugal, Italy, Luxemburg and Ireland since they had enacted specific laws against the drug. The abortion pill was already in use in England, France and Switzerland. According to the Italian news service, ACI Digital, “in April, the French laboratory, which makes the abortion pill, presented a registration request to the European Pharmaceutical Agency for the pill’s commercialization in the European countries where it had not been authorized.” The European Pharmaceutical Agency granted its approval within 90 days.
