The following Citizen's Petition was filed this year with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by Americans United for Life. This recent historical document contains a great deal of valuable information about the health effects of RU 486, a drug which is being proposed to induce abortions but which has not yet received FDA approval. The Petition was filed because of concerns that the FDA may put RU 486 on a "fast track" of approval, overlooking normal safeguards.
