Planned Parenthood has released a study that claims the abortion drug RU-486 is safe. But as one pro-lifer points out, a closer look gives a different conclusion.
The study covering one year shows one death from RU-486 and 385 patients suffering serious complications. Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue tells OneNewsNow more than 250 other women had to be hospitalized "to be treated with things like blood transfusions and intravenous antibiotics."
"So we see this as an indication that these abortion pills are not safe," she asserts. "And this is just a typical spin from Planned Parenthood, trying to make us think that up is down and that wrong is right -- and in this case, we're not buying it."
Sullenger reports that the study was not conducted by independent parties.
"In fact, the people who were involved in this survey were members of Planned Parenthood, were on advisory boards to Planned Parenthood," she relays. "In one case, one received financial compensation from Danco Laboratories, which is the sole distributor of the abortion pill in the United States. So these people all had a vested interest."
The Operation Rescue spokesperson emphasizes that RU-486 is dangerous. Even so, its use is becoming more common. In fact, Planned Parenthood plans to have all affiliates doing abortions and will promote "telemed" abortions, which does not directly involve a doctor.
