When the RU-486 clinical trials were being conducted, it was said that the drug was safe and that there were no adverse reactions in women. However, one doctor tells a different story:
“Dr. Mark Louviere is an emergency room physician in Iowa. He treated a woman in shock from severe blood loss due to an incomplete abortion. Informed that she had been part of the RU-486 clinical trial at Planned Parenthood in Des Moines, Dr. Louviere notified the clinical trial’s director and sent the patient’s medical records to be included in the study.
Yet the trial’s report claimed no complications [were] reported among the 238 women who would end unwanted pregnancies without surgery.
“If near death due to loss of half one’s blood volume, surgery, and a transfusion of four units of blood do not qualify as a complication, I don’t know what does.”
