S. Marie Harvey was the lead researcher in a report on RU-486, also called medical
abortion. Women's Health researchers will deliver the report to the public this week.
Abortion
continued from page 1
deliver it to the public this week.
With today marking the 30th an
niversary of the Roe v. Wade
Supreme Court decision, the release
of the report is especially poignant.
“We’re going to get it to policy
makers, media and anyone else
who is interested in medical abor
tion,” said S. Marie Harvey, direc
tor of a research program on
women’s health and lead re
searcher for the report.
Medical abortion uses two differ
ent drugs, mifepristone and
methotrexate, to induce abortion
without surgery. Unlike emergency
contraception, which can be taken
within a few days of intercourse to
prevent pregnancy, RU-486 is doc
tor-prescribed and requires a mini
mum of three visits to a clinic or
doctor’s office. RU-486 can be ad
ministered during the first nine
weeks of pregnancy; after the ninth
week the drugs are ineffective in ter
minating pregnancy.
Harvey said the issue has been
bogged down by politics.
“Misinformation about medical
abortion spread by anti-abortion
forces has prevented legislators and
policy makers from providing
women access to this safe and effec
tive medical procedure, “ Harvey
said in a press release Monday.
Oregon Right to Life Executive
Director Gayle Atteberry refuted
Harvey’s claim that any misleading
information has been produced by
anti-abortion organizations. She
further argues that policymakers
have in no way influenced the med
ical community.
“I will challenge them to tell me
which misinformation is out there; I
know of none,” Atteberry said.
“There is not one single law, bill or
restriction that affects doctors’ right
to prescribe RU-486. The doctors
have chosen of their own free will
not to prescribe it.”
Some of the report’s researchers
say they believe many doctors have
chosen not to provide RU-486 be
cause of the obstacles involved. The
report calls for a national media
campaign to inform the public about
the safety, availability and effective
ness of medical abortions.
Members of the Bush administra
tion have been publicly opposed to
the use of abortion-inducing drugs
and have made several attempts to
limit their accessibility.
The recent appointment of Dr. W.
David Hager, a known opponent of
abortion and author of the book, “As
Jesus Cared for Women: Restoring
Women Then and Now,” to the Food
and Drug Administration’s Repro
ductive Health Drugs Advisory
Committee, may further reinforce
the administration’s stance on med
ical abortion, according to women’s
rights advocate Kitty Piercy.
“We all had hoped that RU-486
would provide a nonsurgical option
for women ... but we have found, as
the study shows, that RU-486 is
caught up in the same political prob
lems that affect all abortion op
tions,” said Piercy, head of public af
fairs for Planned Parenthood and a
former state representative. “Every
woman who cares about having
freedom over her own body needs to
stand up now, in defense of repro
ductive rights.”
