An award-winner when first published, this book has become a classic text for health activists and feminists interested in the complexities of how drugs are developed, marketed and sold to women around the world. In this book the authors review the unusual history of the French abortion pill, RU 486 (mifepristone). They scrutinize the science and politics from inception through to its use on women.
"This is an eminently readable and thought-provoking book. The authors' concern for the rights and welfare of women is evident throughout [...] RU 486: Misconceptions, Myths and Morals was published in 1991, and it still provides the most up-to-date, independent analysis of information available to us. As such, it is an invaluable knowledge base from which to evaluate the information and publicity generated by the Australian trials." -- Anna Fitzpatrick, The Women's Library Newsletter, Volume 3 No.4
in July 2013, we re-issued RU 486: Misconceptions, Myths and Morals, for which I have written an extensive 100-page preface. Australian women need to know about the problems with chemical abortion so that when it comes to deciding which method to use, they can make an informed decision.
