Proposed Bill Would Reinstate Safeguards for Women Taking RU486.(RU-486 Patient Health and Safety Protection Act, introduced by Senator Tim Hutchinson and Congressman David Vitter)
Under pressure from pro-abortion groups and many of their sympathizers in the medical establishment, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) modified or set aside many of the patient protections the FDA had considered just months before when it approved the abortifacient RU486 last September. Now, two pro-life legislators want to put those safeguards back in place and have introduced a bill in Congress that will offer these women a higher degree of protection.
On February 6, 2001, Senator Tim Hutchinson (R-Ar.) and Congressman David Vitter (R-La.) introduced the "RU-486 Patient Health and Safety Protection Act." Senator Hutchinson and former Congressman Tom Coburn (R-Ok.) offered similar legislation last fall when approval of RU486 was first announced. However, the measure never came up for a vote. Coburn, a physician, retired from Congress at the end of last term, allowing Rep. Vitter to take up the banner in the House.
Hutchinson and Vitter's bill would require that physicians prescribing RU486 meet the following five conditions:
1. Be qualified to handle complications of an incomplete abortion.
2. Be legally authorized to perform an abortion and trained to do so.
3. Be certified to read an ultrasound in order to date the pregnancy and identify an ectopic pregnancy.
4. Be properly trained in the administration of this drug through an FDA-approved curriculum.
