New 'Anti-Abortion Pill' Kills Mother, Leaves Fetus Alive



"NEW YORK—Pro-life advocates celebrated approval of the new anti-abortion drug UR-86 by the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday, calling it a "safe and effective method" for terminating pregnant women while leaving their unborn children unharmed.

A doctor explains to an expectant mother how her organs will slowly dissolve with the new pill.
Pfizer, manufacturer of UR-86—dubbed the "last-morning-ever pill"—said the drug is intended only for occasions when the mind-set or politics of the mother threaten the life of the fetus.

"This drug is designed for extreme cases in which the mother cannot or should not be saved, or when her health has been placed before that of her unborn child," Pfizer spokesman Anthony Wright said.

.......

Tuesday night, South Dakota legislators introduced a bill to impose a five-day waiting period for teenage girls and women before they can buy the pill, claiming its use does not adequately safeguard the lifestyle of the father, the laundry of the father, or the favorite meals of the father. The legislators cited Pfizer's own published list of side effects of UR-86, which include domestic messiness, already-born-child neglect, and inadequate stocking of the fridge."

2. I would not be in the least bit surprised if the woman-hating gestational slavers were not, in

fact, working on just such a pill. certainly the rcc has no problem killing the mother to keep the fetus (remember that scene in "the cardinal"?)

3. Yeah, I don't think this one is actually all that far-fetched.

4. This will be celebrated on right-wing sites as true before the day is over. n/t
