Quotes to Note

A 2010 STOPP study confirmed Planned Parenthood is increasingly shifting away from performing surgical abortions and, instead, using the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug [mifepristone/mifeprex] that has been responsible for killing at least 13 women worldwide (maybe more) and injured 1,100 in the United States alone as of FDA figures from 2006.

Planned Parenthood lowered the number of surgical abortion centers by 8, in 2010, but increased its number of facilities pushing the abortion drug by 25.

The PP abortion business ended the year 2010 with a total of 321 abortion facilities with 165 doing surgical abortions and giving out the abortion drug mifepristone, and another 156 dispensing the abortion drug but not doing surgical abortions.

This represents an increase of 5.5 percent from the 304 abortion facilities it operated at the end of 2009 and, although Planned Parenthood likes to talk about the low percentage of abortions it does compared to other “services,” more than 40 percent of its centers do some type of abortion.

Ecuador Constitutional Court Unanimously Approves Prohibition on Morning After Pill

Last week the Court concurred with a lower court ruling to prohibit the sale of Postinor 2 (similar to Plan B)...

The suit to have the pill banned was put forward by Fernando Rosero Rohde [president of a local pro-life group] in Nov 2004.

The case was hard won since powerful pharmaceuticals and foreign interest groups were pushing for the legalization of the drug. In 2004 the Ecuadorian Ministry of Health ordered the removal of the abortifacient drugs from pharmacies on the grounds of a "prescribed fault" in its pricing. The decision came while pro-life leaders in the tiny South American country were working to have the pill banned completely.

The physicians association of Ecuador joined [the effort] to have the pill banned completely because of its abortifacient effect.

Luis Sanchez, President of the Medical Federation of Ecuador said in 2004, "The morning after pill cannot be classified as a contraceptive method because by its very nature it acts against something that has already been conceived." Planned Parenthood International worked to insinuate the contraceptive mentality into Ecuador through its affiliate, Asociación Pro-Bienestar de la Familia Ecuatoriana, which works primarily through 150 annual 'sex education' workshops for adolescents.
