Description | WASHINGTON (AP) -- The father of a teen who died after taking an pregnancy-termination pill says new safety warnings added by the government aren't enough to protect women. Because a third death now has been linked to RU-486, the Food and Drug Administration should bar sales of the pregnancy-termination pill, said the grieving father.
"How many more deaths is it going to take before the FDA takes action to remove this drug from the market?" said Monty Patterson, 51, of Livermore, California.
His 18-year-old daughter, Holly, died on September 17, 2003, of septic shock caused by inflammation of the uterus. The teen took RU-486 on September 10 to terminate an unplanned pregnancy, Patterson said. |
