THE ABORTION pill RU486 developed by French drug company
Roussel-Uclaf may be available
soon in the US market, following

and drugs commissioner David
Kessler.
Women's groups are eagerly
awaiting RU486, but anti-abortion
groups in USA are threatening,a boycott of the US subsidiary of Hoechst

Reagan and George Bush
were staunchly anti-abortion and,
thorefore, of RU486. But President
Bill Clinton has signed five memorandums revoking abortion-related
b s and the much-awaited drug may
yot go on sale in America.
