Supporters of the abortion drug RU-486, in their moment of triumph, are faced with opposition that could make their victory irrelevant. Abortion opponents are introducing bills in Congress to limit doctors' ability to prescribe the drug and state legislatures are proposing new laws to limit its availability. These measures must be fiercely opposed by the states and by Congress in order to ensure that RU-486 is an option for women in the United States...
...upheld a woman's right to choose since the landmark ruling Roe v. Wade in 1972. However, state legislatures have slowly chipped away at the practical right to abortion over the last 18 years by passing laws that make it difficult for women to gain access to abortions, or limit doctors' ability to perform them. These laws that were meant to place restrictions on surgical abortions are now, through new state legislation, being applied to RU-486. Some of these measures state the width of hallways in a doctor's office where surgical abortions are performed, how abortion providers must...
...mifepristone's defenders counter that carrying a baby to term is six times as dangerous as ending a pregnancy, whether surgically or medically.

The first visit certainly is, since it's vital to ensure that a woman is within the 49-day limit and is not suffering from a tubal pregnancy--things that can be determined with the help of ultrasound.

New studies indicate, however, that there is no need to take the second drug at the doctor's office. As long as a woman has access to medical...
Hunter's stance is that he ingested nutritional supplements that had somehow become tainted, boosting his nandro level to 1,000 times the allowable limit. The scorn greeting this claim was as deep as Sydney harbor. "Impossible," said the International Olympic Committee's Jacques Rogge. "The only way to have such levels is either by injection or taking pills." Even if Rogge is correct, Hunter may get off. His lawyer is Johnnie Cochran--yes, O.J.'s Johnnie Cochran--and Cochran will present Hunter's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. At the 1996 Atlanta Games, nine athletes were...
