The RU-486 Revolution

It’s turning early abortion into a private affair and reducing the recourse to abortionists:

At a time when the overall number of abortions has been steadily declining, RU-486-induced abortions have been rising by 22 percent a year and now account for 14 percent of the total — and more than one in five early abortions performed by the ninth week of pregnancy.

Technology changes things – not as a question of morality, but of practicality.
