Women Using the Web to Find Abortion Drugs
The company claims that it is helping reduce complications associated with dangerous, illegal, back room abortions. That said, a recent survey of 400 of the sites customers revealed that 11 percent of those who used its drugs still required a surgical procedure either to stem uncontrollable bleeding or because the dose was not able to complete the abortion.
Some like the Family Planning Association of Norther Ireland say that Women On Web is a reputable organization, but worry that it is encouraging women to break the law and avoid the professional care necessary in such situations. [Source: BBC]

The problem with mifepristone is that many women take it AFTER they have surpassed the 9 week period, simply because many women do not know they are pregnant until roughly 8 weeks. For women in countries that don't allow for abortions or make them extremely difficult to come by, I highly doubt they will feel comfortable going to their doctor and having blood drawn to discover just exactly how far along in their pregnancy they are.
11% of women who order mifepristone and take it without the advice of a doctor have problems? That's not a surprise, but 89% of the women aren't having any problems.
This wouldn't be an issue if abortion was readily available to women in all countries, but the sad reality is that it isn't available to them.

Yes Liz, because gosh forbid a woman take responsibility for her own actions instead of punishing an innocent life who through no fault of its own was created and is now living in her body. The baby is a separate and unique individual and has a right to LIVE!

Well worded LIZ. Couldn't agree more, perhaps they could develop a home test for just that, a way to dermine how far along one is.

Why dont they just practice safe sex????
valerieJul 12th 2008 2:14PM
Maybe women should try using contraceptives beforehand rather than abortion drugs after the fact.
cyberma777Jul 12th 2008 11:21PM
Sometimes they use contraceptives and they don't work. Sometimes they are raped.

Abortion is murder. The women do not think of the man who also created this BABY (not fetus) and how it could affect grandparents, aunts, uncles, and relatives. A baby is God's gift, don't be judge and jury for that baby's life. There is the option of adoption.
KaydeeJul 13th 2008 12:15AM
Yeah....cos we all know EVERY man who impregnates a woman wants the baby! Geesh, what world have you been living in? All the single moms out there who's children's dads have nothing to do with their kids would love to know!
Here's an idea: How about you go ahead and start adopting babies that are currently in foster care? There are thousands of children waiting to be adopted and many NEVER do.
David SutherlandJul 12th 2008 6:13PM
The 11% with problems also wouldn't be a problem if those 11% also chose not to abort. Pointing out that legalizing abortion "helps" the 11%, as is typical, ignores the core argument: the unborn either are or are-not human beings deserving protection. The argument for the pro-lifer is that sure they care for the safety of pregnant women but they equally care for the safety of the unborn child.
I cannot understand why this lame argument is thrown up again and again. Is it that pro-aborts just don't get the crux of the issue or that if they think that if they just keep repeating themselves "women are being killed by unsafe abortions!!! make them safe!!!" that the core issue will go away-?!!?

A fetus is not a separate individual until it is BORN. Until then, it is parasitically connected to it's host.
SarahAug 11th 2008 11:48PM
I have to disagree. When I was pregnant with my SON he was very clearly MALE...at no point in my life have I been male. He was a separate individual. He depended on me for life but now he is two and still depends on me for life. He can't feed or dress himself. Left alone in the house without me he would soon die of dehydration and starvation. The point is that he was always a human being just as valuable and precious as you and me. Because we might depend on others at certain points in our lives does not take away our humanity.

The DNA of the fetus is different from the parents DNA. Life begins at conception. God intended the mother to be a mother not a murderr. America is involved in baby killing like it was at one time involved in slave ownership. Some people couldn't see that was evil. Now who would say slavery is a RIGHT. The DNA doesn't lie. People lie to themselves though. .
Sandy SeiderJul 12th 2008 9:27PM
Valery...God says it is a baby NOT A PARASITE..MORON
JacobJul 15th 2008 10:00PM
THIS is the problem. Because...Let you think of something...what if that person DOESN'T believe in God? People's ignorance astounds me...
ValeryJul 12th 2008 9:39PM
I've managed to avoid pregnancy all of my 43 years because I didn't want a parasitic growth inside of me. "Rosemary's Baby" really ruined me for birthing babies at a young age!
SarahAug 15th 2008 12:45AM
well you missed out on a wonderful thing then! Being pregnant and feeling my son kick and grow inside me was amazing! And I learned what a strong, powerful, beautiful woman I am when I pushed him into the world! I felt so strong and proud when I went through labour. And having raised him now for almost two years...every minute has been precious. I love him more than anyone in this world and I feel so blessed that I was given the GIFT of motherhood. Its not always easy to be a mom but its so worth it!
whoopsJul 12th 2008 9:59PM
Don't want to have an abortion? Then don't.
Want to (illegally) force your views on soomeone else? Idea: step up and raise that child.
SharonAug 21st 2008 1:26AM
I know some one who had tried alot of diffrent contraceptions, kept getting pregnant and kept having abortions. She was forced to have a child, treated this child horrible. Women use contraception they just dont always work.
KJJul 13th 2008 2:59PM
This makes it much easier (thank goodness!!) because any nitwit woman who keeps track of their monthly menses is able to tell when its off (approx. every 28 days) so by the time you get to 56 days, you'd have an idea why your period isn't starting.
As to aborting before 9 weeks, its NOT even recognizable as a human being from other animal fetuses and is NOT a separate entity, its solely reliant on its host for sustenance.
