Mark Evans

It is so very sad to see that political arguments can totally obscure the science of a drug. It's hard to see how to proceed if the release of such a vital drug [RU 486] can, and will be, held hostage to a minority of the American public.

Citation

In 1988 a French pharmaceutical firm developed a drug that would produce an abortion with less risk to the woman than previous methods. Anti abortion groups threatened the company with boycotts, and the firm withdrew the drug from the market. The French government then ordered the company to release the drug, but vehement political opposition in the U.S. made availability in America problematical.
