SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
An examination of RU 486 which looks at the side-effects, expense, media manipulation and feminist fantasy surrounding the drug. In clear prose and carefully documented statements, it describes what exactly it is; how it functions in the body; what its history and adverse effects are; whom it serves; what the long-term ethical, political and social consequences are; and what a better alternative is.
