Why have four California women died from a bloodstream infection after using a controversial abortion pill?

Because there is a God?

"Two people ingested the same poison and only the weaker one was supposed to die, but both of them did instead. it really is very confusing."

More than 460,000 women in the United States have used Mifeprex since it was invented in France in the 1980s.

Looks like the proper death toll would be 460,004.

What is their slogan - "safe, legal, and rare"?
Well, two out of three is not bad. [sarcasm]Looks like the Pharmaceutical mafia experts overlooked a few things in their trials.

SOMEONE ALWAYS DIES IN AN ABORTION.

"On the surface, this appears unusual," said Dr. Marc Fischer, a medical epidemiologist at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. "That's why we're investigating."

LIBs:"Since this drug never could have been the cause of the deaths, as it would go against our cause, I would ask the FBI look at right-wing fanatical anti-choice groups for conspiracy possibilities..."

Basically the drug is working too well. It's killing 2 for 1.

The FDA said there is no proof that Mifeprex caused the deaths.

FDA "Except for the fact that several people have taken the pill and died. Nothing to see here. This is the price of doing business."

Two of the deaths -- one this year and one last year -- were reported last week by the Food and Drug Administration. The other two deaths occurred in 2003. All were caused by sepsis, a bloodstream infection, health officials say.

...snip...

The FDA said there is no proof that Mifeprex caused the deaths. The agency is ordering that the drug's label be updated, however, to alert women and doctors in more detail to the infections. It already contains a "black-box" warning highlighting the risk of bacterial infection, sepsis and death. Reports of fatal sepsis among the pill's users are rare, occurring one in 100,000 cases.

After reading this I understand why the FDA is stating that the abortion pill could not have definitely caused the deaths... -sarcasm

If any other kind of pill had caused one death, let alone four, the Left would be screaming for its removal from the shelves. Yet here, the Left just shrugs.

THe article says the reports of fatal sepsis are rare, occuring in 1 out of every 100,000 uses.

It says that 460,000 women have used it in the U.S. (total) since it was created in the 1980s

It says that 4 CALIFORNIA users have died of fatal sepsis in the last 3 years.

SO, either nobody in the rest of the country died, or ALL the pill users are from california, or they have to update their "deaths per 100,000" value.

I think the "shocking" thing the doctors have found is that someone reported deaths due to abortion. Most doctors will not report any statistics which could make abortion look bad.

Hmmm...maybe a pill designed to snuff out a life might be a signal it's dangerous?

If this was any other drug the manufacturer would already be buried under lawsuits and bad publicity to the point where they would be technically defunct.

Seeing as this pill is a baby killer I would expect the msm and the tort lawyers to show extreme deference and sensitivity regarding this issue.

Celestial justice, in my opine.

It was well known that this stuff was dangerous. Taking pills that mess with a woman's reproductive cycle is really dicing with death or serious damage to her health.

None of the women who died followed FDA-approved instructions for taking the drug, and authorities are looking into whether that may have played a role in their deaths.

More details here would be interesting. A good reporter would have provided them. How badly did they not follow the instructions? Did they take the pills 15 minutes further apart than they should have (meaningless) or did they pop like 10 of them in 5 minutes (significant).

The abortion industry sold women a crock that RU-486 was simple and safe. Fact is, a chemically induced miscarriage without adequate physician supervision, depending on scrupulous adherence to the instructions, is anything but simple and safe.

The DUmmies are doing everything from blaming the "religious right" to saying it is safer than childbirth.

This is the kind of thing pro-lifers warned about, but of course, the left didn't want to listen.

What's the complaint?
They got two deaths for the price of one.
