*Planned Parenthood's Stealthy Practices Lead to Death*

*Washington, DC (18 June 2008)* -- Planned Parenthood's recommendation 
to use the abortion-causing drug Misoprostol vaginally rather than 
orally has led to fatal infections according to a research study 
released by the University of Michigan.

"This is scandalous, if not criminal," said Jim Sedlak, vice-president 
of American Life League.

Until 2006, Planned Parenthood told women to take the drugs Misoprostol 
and Mifepristone (RU 486) vaginally. This occurred despite FDA protocol 
to take the drugs orally. When five patients died from the drug 
combination, Planned Parenthood quietly changed the policy to fall in 
line with FDA protocol - without admitting any fault.

reported that Dr. David Aronoff, who led the study, said, "What struck 
me in those five cases is the women had previously been healthy, then 
died after taking fairly high doses of synthetic prostaglandin E2, which 
is Misoprostol."

Now, the University of Michigan study finds that Misoprostol, the second 
of the two drugs that cause the chemical abortion, can allow Clostridium 
sordellii, normally non-threatening bacteria, to cause a deadly 
infection when taken vaginally. 

"This study shows Planned Parenthood not only disregards the lives of 
babies in the womb, but the lives of their mothers as well," said Sedlak. 

"It's time people stopped viewing Planned Parenthood as a responsible 
healthcare organization and saw it for what it is --  a money-making, 
social engineering group that plies its trade of sex and abortion 
without regard to human life, born or preborn."

The FDA approved regimen for killing children who have already implanted 
in their mother's womb consists of an initial pill (either Mifepristone 
or Methotrexate) to kill the baby and a second pill (Misoprostol) to 
cause the dead baby to be expelled from the mother's body. The FDA 
protocol is for all drugs to be taken orally.

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the 
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States 
and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the 
moment of creation to natural death.  For more information or press
