My question is if they are pulling that drug Viox (sp) because of the slight risks it has on ppl taking it of having a heart attack.. Why Is this one being allowed to stay and not given the same weight as other drugs!!!! Answer: Because abortion advocites are all for it and don't really care about women's health, just money.  You can put all the warnings and bells and whistles on it, but girls are still going to die because often teens don't pay attention to labels or warning signs, are nieve about thier bodies and if they are keeping it from thier parents how are the parents going to know that is why thier child is sick.. and sadly if not treated.. why they could die.

Dangerous RU 486 Abortion Drug Gets Safety Warnings After Teen's Death
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --
New warnings will be placed on packages containing the dangerous abortion drug RU 486 following the death of a California teenager last year. The new warning labels required by the FDA will highlight how infections can bring about the death of a woman using the abortion drug. Marketed as Mifeprex, the drug already carried the Food and Drug Administration's highest level black box warning -- which warns consumers that it is especially dangerous. The black box warning will expand and include new information on dangers that could cost women's lives, such as information on life-threatening complications like severe bacterial infections that led to the September 2003 death of Holly Patterson. The new warning labels also discuss the extensive bleeding that can occur following a chemical abortion, as can happen with any abortion. The labels warn that serious infection can result without the usual telltale signs like fever or tenderness. Following approval by the Clinton administration in 2000, the FDA has received numerous reports of complications resulting from the use of the abortion drug. "FDA and (drugmaker) Danco Laboratories have received reports of serious bacterial infection, bleeding, ectopic pregnancies that have ruptured, and death, including another death from sepsis (blood infection) that was recently reported to FDA," the agency said in a statement. A representative of Concerned Women for America blasted the decision, saying the warning labels don't make the drug safer and that the agency should prevent abortion businesses from selling the dangerous drug. "It is reported that another woman has died after taking the abortion drug RU-486, and the FDA's response is to change the drug's label," Wendy Wright, the group's senior policy director, said in a statement. "This is a dangerous drug that deserves to be pulled off the market immediately." Read the complete story.

FDA Reveals Third U.S. Woman Died From RU 486 Abortion Drug
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In an announcement on Monday that the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug would be accompanied by expanded warning labels noting additional risks and dangers, including death, FDA officials revealed another woman has died from taking the abortion pill. In September 2003, California teenager Holly Patterson died from a severe infection brought on by the abortion drug. While women have died in Canada, Sweden and elsewhere, Patterson's death was thought to be the only the second fatality so far from the use of the abortion drug in the United States. Another woman, Brenda Vise, died in 2001 after using the abortion drug. Danco Laboratories, the maker of RU 486 says the abortion drug should not be taken by women with ectopic pregnancies, but Vise's ectopic pregnancy was not diagnosed before she used the drug. However, in an FDA report released Monday, officials confirmed a third U.S. woman died as aresult of the Mifeprex abortion pill. No details about the woman's death were given. The news is upsetting for pro-life groups who say the drug should be taken off the market while its safety is reviewed. "RU-486 doesn't need a better label, it needs to be shelved," said Cathy Cleaver Ruse, a representative of the pro-life office of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "Young women depend upon the safety of FDA-approved drugs. How many have to die before this killer drug is taken off the market?" "RU-486 was the new 'magic pill' to make babies disappear, and young women are now its latest victims," Ruse said. "RU-486 must be stopped." Read the complete story.
