What do these women have in common? They all took RU-486, the so-called "abortion pill," and died - most from a C. Sordelli infection and one from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. RU-486 - a drug that its proponents claim is a "safe" and "easy" method of abortion - has killed at least 29 women worldwide including at least 8 American women.
