RU-486. The "Medical" Abortion Pill

by Dubuque County Right to Life, April, 2023

The number of abortions happening via the abortion pill have more than doubled in the past 10 years. The abortion pill accounted for more than 53% of all abortions in 2020, according to the Guttmacher Institute (The research arm of Planned Parenthood). Back in 2011, the abortion pill accounted for 24% of all abortions. That is more than double the number of abortions in just 10 years.

RU-486, sometimes known as "medication abortion," or otherwise chemical abortion. (medication is usually supposed to help heal the body). The process begins by taking the first pill (Mifepristone /RU486) with the purpose of cutting off progesterone, which weakens the uterine wall and cuts off nutrients to the baby, thus causing the death of the baby.

The second pill, Misoprostol, is taken 24 - 48 hours later which stimulates contractions to expel the dead child.

Walgreens, CVS Parmacy, and Rite Aid have all applied to carry the abortion pill.

The Evil History of RU-486

Below are excerpts from the article titled "Nazis and Eugenics Brought Us Chemical Abortion: Here's Proof." by Rachel Schroder.*

"In the early to mid-20th century., the pharmaceutical holding company I.G. Farben Chemical Company controlled much of the German chemical industry. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the infamous Auschwitz was one of I.G. Farben's very own chemical plants, responsible for the slavery and deaths of more than a million people in World War II.

Several of Farben's directors were also found guilty in the U.S.'s Nuernberg War Crimes Trials for slavery and mass murder. Georg von Schnitzler, a member of the managing board of directors of Farben, was even a captain in a violent division of the Nazi party that helped facilitate Hitler's rise before WWII. I.G. Farben Chemical Company was the archetype of an industrial demon.

After the war, Western Countries attempted to utterly splinter I.G. Farben's industrial power, but divided the holding company into three of its own industrial members, Hoechst, Bayer, and BASF.

In 1974, the first of these entities, Hoechst, gained a majority share of the holding company Chimio that controlled a French pharmaceutical company called Roussel Uclaf. By 1982, Roussel Uclaf and developed the RU-486 chemical abortion drug mifepristone.

Abortion Drug's Ties to Population Council, Planned Parenthood.

During the mid-1990's, Roussel Uclaf allied with the nonprofit Population Council, which led the charge for FDA approval of the abortion pill in the U.S., officially granted in 2000. During that time Hoechst acquired the remaining shares of Roussel Uclaf.

Like Hoechst, the Population Council had deeply eugenic roots. Aided by the director of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the organization was founded by John D. Rockefeller III, son of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

Rockefeller Jr. sponsored German Eugenic research leading up to the late 1930's that influenced later Nazi policy. Through the Rockefeller Foundation, he funded multiple institutions at which Ernst Rüdin, who spearheaded Hitler's gruesome medical research during the Holocaust, held leading roles. One such organization was the Institute for Brain Research, according to The History of News Network.

Everything changed when Rockefeller money arrived in 1929. A grant of $317,000 allowed the Institute to construct a major building and take center stage in German Race biology. The Institute received additional grants from the Rockefeller Foundation during he next several years. Leading the Institute, once again, was Hitler's medical henchman Ernst Rüden. Rüdin's organization became a prime director and recipient of the murderous experimentation and research conducted on Jews, Gypsies and others.

Following in the footsteps of the organization that his father founded in the 1950s, Rockefeller II's Population Council supported the American Eugenics Society, eugenics-motivated sterilization of women, and the use of sex-selective  abortion. It also tested, along with International Planned Parenthood Federation, population controlling IUD contraceptives in Pakistan, Taiwan, South Korea and India in the '60s despite  knowing their dangerous side effects on women. The council itself was led for years by openly eugenicist presidents Frederick Osborn and Frank Notestein, both of whom were members of the American Eugenics Society.

Aborting Minorities

Rockefeller III acted as chairman of President Nixon's 1969 Population and the American Future Commission just two years after receiving Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award. The commission staff was headed by Dr. Charles F. Westoff of the American Eugenics Society and advised by eugenicist Daniel Callahan. The final report endorsed decreasing population growth through supporting the option for women to obtain contraception and/or abortion. No wonder the Population Council was such a willing candidate to spearhead FDA approval for the Hoechst/Roussel Uclaf chemical drug."
