When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved use of RU-486 as a chemical abortion method in 2000, it said it was "safe and effective."

The U.S. pro-life movement won what was probably its most significant victory since the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe. v. Wade court decision when the U.S. Senate on Oct. 21 voted 64-34 to ban the practice of the partial-birth abortion method. At press time, President George W. Bush indicated that he was looking forward to signing the legislation into law. "This is very [...]

Unions and abortionists have had a long history in Canada The U.S.-based United Auto Workers made an unusual demand last month in national contract negotiations with General Motors Corp. and Chrysler: it wants the automakers to pay for voluntary abortions as part of employee health care coverage.

The Summer 2003 Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons published a study that concluded the link between abortion and breast cancer has been suppressed or ignored by scientists, women's groups and the media because of their collective pro-abortion bias and out of a desire to further their own political purposes.

British pro-life campaigners are critical of a High Court ruling that has awarded compensation to a couple because their daughter was born with Down syndrome.
