Researchers found that 15.6 % percent of those undergoing chemical abortions hemorrhaged, 1.7% encountered infection, and 6.7% had incomplete abortions. The rate of those having "incomplete abortions" and infections increased as the length of gestation increased. In the U.S., the FDA tried to limit abortions using RU486 to 49 days gestation. But the industry has been openly performing them up to 63 days gestation and sometimes even later.
Cross referencing demographic data, the Finnish researchers found that the risk of hemorrhage increased among aborting women using RU486 who were aged 20-24, having had a previous birth, from a lower socio-economic class and living in a densely populated or rural area. Risk factors associated with an incomplete abortion were the same, but also included those having a previous abortion, single, or having an advanced gestation.
In comparison to surgical abortion, the risk of hemorrhage with chemical abortions with RU486 nearly eight times higher, while the likelihood of an incomplete abortion was five times higher. Not that surgical abortion is safe. LifeNews
