From LifeNewsWashington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new report recently highlighted at LifeNews.com indicates Planned Parenthood is increasingly relying on the dangerous mifepristone (RU 486) abortion drug. Now, a pro-life group is accusing the abortion business of putting women at risk by more frequently employing the drugs.
While Planned Parenthood is cutting its total number of centers, the number of abortion facilities is on the rise -- it jumped to 295 last year from 287 the year prior.
While the number of surgical abortion centers it runs dropped from 179 to 174 during the last year, the number of places with the mifepristone abortion drug rose from 108 to 121.
That means more women are using the dangerous abortion drug that has killed more than a dozen women worldwide and injured more than 1,200 in the United States alone.
Marie Hahnenberg, a researcher for American Life League, tells LifeNews.com that means more women are at risk.
“This new focus shift from surgical to dangerous medical abortions shows Planned Parenthood values profit over the lives of the women,” she said.
Women typically take the first part of the two-part abortion drug at the Planned Parenthood center and then go home, where no medical staff are present, to take the second drug which causes contractions and allow for the delivery of the dead baby.
“Planned Parenthood is giving women poisonous drugs to kill their preborn children and sending them home to finish the abortion – frightened and alone," Hahnenberg says. "Planned Parenthood is raking money in hand over fist at the expense of women poisoned and children killed.”
When used normally, RU 486 involves a two drug combination involves mifepristone, which deprives the developing newborn baby of food and water and essentially starves the child to death. The second drug, misoprostol, causes contractions to force the woman to birth the dead baby.
Hahneberg says a June 2008 University of Michigan study suggests Planned Parenthood is at fault in the deaths of women in the United States from the abortion drug.
