Political Rants

RU-486

Abortion supporters also support death. As if the killing of unborn babies wasn’t enough, check out this quote from a Washington Post story about the Livermore woman who died after taking the so-called abortion pill, RU-486:

Abortion rights supporters reply that if Patterson did die of complications from her abortion, it would only underscore that the procedure is remarkably safe. More than 200,000 women have successfully used the drug in North America since it came on the market three years ago, they say, and Patterson’s death would be the first directly attributable to a medical abortion administered to a woman without other health problems.

Come again? It could be a misquote, but I kind of doubt it. Says Vanessa Cullen, vice president of medical affairs for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, “The opposition here is political and not medical, because the medical community is comfortable with the way the drug is being administered.”
Um, the opposition is moral, not just political, and the medical opposition to it would be that it CAUSES DEATH. Not that life has ever been of concern to Planned Parenthood.

“This is a very tough environment to work in, with the constant assaults on women’s reproductive rights,” [Gloria] Feldt said. “But our medical care is based on the best scientific evidence available, and we are always trying to make it better.”

And what a blow for women’s rights this is. I’m sure I’m in the wrong when I say reproductive rights ends where human life is the toll. But no matter.
