A young woman in England has died after taking RU-486 because she felt the pregnancy would cause problems for her Muslim boyfriend's family. Her mother says she was a "devout Christian" though one has to wonder. There are so many things wrong with this story that it's difficult to know where to start.
Abortion advocates tell everyone that they want abortions to be safe, but they aren't safe for the mother at all:
RU-486 has been approved for use in the U.S. since 2000. It has been linked to deaths of at least seven women in the U.S.
And that's just one method of abortion. This doesn't account for the millions of mid-gestational babies that are killed. It also doesn't say how many complications there have been.
Let's compare that to tomatoes, shall we? Current estimates are over 200 cases of illness and a single death have been linked to suspect tomatoes. But wait, that's not all. 200 cases is what's been reported to the CDC. Only 25 have been hospitalized. So that's 25 in the hospital and one dead cancer patient and the country is up in arms. Where's the outcry over the 7 dead? Should this not be a public health issue? Would health advocates go nuts if nothing was about this "tomato problem"? You bet your butt they would!
The story overlooked what I think is the most newsworthy piece of information:
Dr. Lucy Jackson, who treated Jones, told the inquest that doctors initially failed to diagnose the condition because "the hospital was extremely busy" the night the teen checked in. Fighting back tears, Jackson said if the hospital had not been so busy, things might have turned out differently.
And this is the health-care system that the democrats want to emulate? Aside from the inherent risks associated with abortion, this woman should not have died. She died because the hospital was too busy to even diagnose her.
Socialized medicine is what killed this woman and the doctor admitted it!!!
Again, this is one more reason why this election is so important and why Barry Obama should never be allowed near the White House.
