RU486
FACES MORE OBSTACLES
June 30, 2000
WFF
reported June 9 (below) that the Food
and Drug Administration is preparing
to approve the
abortion drug RU486, but only
with severe
and unpredented restrictions.
Even limited approval won't happen
if Rep. Tom Coburn (R-OK) has his
way. Coburn has tacked an amendment
(H.Amdt.142) on to the Agriculture
Appropriations bill (HR 1906) that
would prohobit
the FDA from testing, developing,
or approving any drug that causes
abortion. Planned
Parenthood is coordinating a campaign
to stop the
Coburn Amendment, reported
to be only 3 votes shy of passage.
E-mail Reps
directly from www.plannedparenthood.org/rchoices/lac/
or call them at 202-224-3121.
