How about an approved drug available legally, that takes decsions regarding childbirth away from male politicians, out of courtrooms, and leaves it to the individual conscience of the women who bear a pregnancy? What if it was as simple as this? :

MISOPROTOL

Use in terminating pregnancy :
The presciption medication marketed under the name RU486, commonly known as “the abortion pill”, is actually a double pill comdination of two separate drugs: Mifepristone and Misoprostol. When used in this combination and under supervision of a qualified health professional, RU486 is known to be 97% effective in terminating pregnancies within the first 63 days. However, of the two drugs in this combination Mifepristone is more expensive and less available. There are also strict rules currently in place which prevent the RU486 double pill product from being purchased without a prescription, or mailed directly to patients.

Misoprostol on the other hand is more widely available, inexpensive, and is easy to store and handle. Used alone it’s more often taken to treat stomach ulcers and some arthritc conditions, but is also a safe and proven method for people seeking to end their pregnancy. The medication softens and dilates the cervix, causes uterine contractions, and pushes pregnancy tissue out. Misoprostol’s multidimensional use in medicine makes it more accessible when compared to other abortion pills, like mifepristone.

Misoprostol used alone is 85% successful in inducing abortion in the first trimester. Though slightly less effective than the complete RU486, misoprostol by itself is still considered very safe when users read and understand all the information packaged with the medication.
