mifepristone
« on: August 16, 2007, 01:20:23 AM »

The U.S. government approved the marketing of mifepristone for medical abortions in 2000, and European countries approved it years earlier.

Today, an estimated 8 to 10 percent of the roughly 1.3 million abortions in the United States are done using the pills.

Generally, the number of reported abortions in the U.S. have been declining since the early 1990s, although there was a slight increase in 2002, according to federal statistics. There is about one abortion for every four live births each year, according to the CDC?s most recent statistics, which do not include every state.

20% of all pregnancies are terminated in the US?

Wow.

I'm just stunned.
