Abstract

Subject to Debate

This article presents a debatic discussion on abortion. But with abortion nothing is inevitable, except that women will continue to have them. And so, despite the fact that in 1996 the Food and Drug Administration issued an "approvable letter" declaring mifepristone safe and effective, in early June the Population Council, which holds the U.S. rights, and Danco, which is licensed to manufacture it, revealed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, was considering major restrictions on its distribution and use. abortions. The drug's promise in fighting cancer, Cushing's syndrome, endometriosis and fibroids would fall by the wayside. This is politics, not science. Mifepristone has been around for twenty years and is legal in Austria, Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Great Britain.
