By Melinda Tankard Reist, published 24/7/2006

Women are going to be 'treated' for pregancy using an anti-cancer drug to induce an abortion.

From the article:

"the clinic will combine one of the most dangerous anti-cancer drugs on the market with an anti-ulcer drug, to induce abortion in women up to seven weeks pregnant."

Yeah, don't you just hate it when abortions disrupt an otherwise bountiful malignant tumour or ulcer?

Seriously though, why do you think these medications are so totally attached to cancer? Were they picked from a tree with "cancer drugs here" emblazed on the bark?

"so hazardous it is given five pages in the US Physicians Desk Reference - most other drugs get a half page"

Couldn't this equally indicate that we know more about it than most other drugs?

"Its side-effects are so “severely toxic” they are only considered justified to fight cancers and “disabling disease”. Yet it is to be inflicted on healthy pregnant women and healthy embryos."

Only considered justified by whom? Obviously not by the qualified medical researchers who designed and tested RU486!

You'll need to do better than that to disguise your own ideological bias.

Shame shame shame. If we are going to condone and discuss murder in such clinical terms we could not criticize the Nazis or the Arabs or the Israelies or the Americans or the Communist or anyone else for that matter. I pray one day the medical profession will see their role as saving lives not destroying

Runner - "If we are going to...we could not criticise ...anyone else". Ah, mate, we SHOULD not criticise anyone else in any case. If discussion of this topic leads to less homophobia, mysoginism, chauvinism and intolerance then discuss away - let the thread go on until it becomes clear that NOTHING gives us the right to criticise other people. What is open for debate and, yes criticism aplenty if you so desire, are ideas, ideologies, theories, - not people. Therein lies our shame.

Given that no woman is “forced” to have an abortion or take any medication against her will, the issue is a non-starter.

Why do anti-choice advocates need to interfere in the lawful choices available between cognitive individuals and their doctors?

What right of interference do they claim?

When these busybodies stop trying to interfere in other peoples affairs , then they will be free to get on with what really matters, which is working to fulfil their lives in a productive and constructive way, instead of wasting time and energy on pretending to tell others what they must do.

Certain tribes have used particular plants to induce abortion.
