Injured After RU-486?
October 2, 2000
The Covenant News (CovenantNews.com), a Christian Internet
News Service, has launched a public service ad campaign to reach women
who have experienced pain and suffering because they took the abortion
pill RU-486. Utilizing the talents of the nation's three top
post-abortion counseling and referral organizations this public service
ad campaign will help women find medical attention, emotional
counseling, and Medical Malpractice Attorneys.
As described by the New York Times, studies demonstrate that the RU-486
abortion pill method causes "bleeding and cramping that usually lasts 9
to 16 days but can continue for 30 days or more. About half the women
also reported nausea, and a quarter to a third said they experienced
headaches, vomiting or diarrhea." In 5 percent of the women who take
RU-486, the abortion is "incomplete," requiring the woman to still
undergo a surgical abortion. One percent bleed severely enough to
require a blood transfusion in addition to a surgical abortion.
Aiming for doctors who prescribe RU-486 to women, Jim Rudd, editor of
The Covenant News, explains, "We have assembled in one advertisement the
top three post-abortion organizations in the country. They have all
worked with and helped abortion injured women find Medical Malpractice
Attorneys. Through their effort we will see huge lawsuits brought
against these pill-pushing abortion doctors. Also, there should be
enough information compiled to bring multi-million dollar class action
lawsuits against the FDA and the pharmaceuticals that manufacture and
market both mifepristone and misoprostol."
Upon calling a referral number listed on the web page, a counselor can
cover the important aspects leading up to the injury. Depending on the
severity of the injury a referral to a doctor can be made.
If the case is determined to be meritorious after serious injury,
causation, or procedural complications are established, the caller can
be referred to a Medical Malpractice Attorney.
Rudd concluded, "It has been rumored that RU-486 will change the face of
abortion in America because doctors who prescribe the poison can do so
in secret anonymity. Well that's simply not true. As the Prolife
community reaches out to find these injured women, they will eventually
find the doctors. It's just like Jesus said, 'Ye shall know them by
their fruits.'"

Referral Service page.
