The abortionists oppose RU-486, the so called 'abortion pill', because of some deaths associated to it.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decision this week to investigate fatalities linked to the abortion pill commonly known as RU-486 has reignited the contentious political debate surrounding FDA approval of the drug in 2000.
Viagra has cause many more deaths, but these same people don't seem to be as concerned about pulling it off the market.
This pill has made the "Roe vs Wade" argument moot. Even if the law was overturned, women will simply get and use RU-486. They will get it from their doctor, or from the black market. The genie is out, and you can't put it back.
UPDATE: The rate of death amounts to about one per 100,000 users, which is "a very low level occurrence," said Dr. Paul Blumenthal, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. "That is five times lower than Viagra and it is almost exactly the same as the rate of deaths among women having surgical abortions."

I am a born-again atheist who is pro-life (I don't eat animals) and I agree with the Dalai Lama when he says "There is no creator".
Those are certainly good words of common sense. It tells us that "spirituality" has nothing to do with a belief in things supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael Savage (real name 'Wiener') so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
