Abortion Drug Kills Girl in Portugal, Caused Deadly Infection | LifeNews.com: RU486 (mifepristone) has caused another death in Europe. The Portuguese 16-year-old went into clostridium sordellii septic shock, the same infection that took the lives of several women in the US who used the abortion pill.

In July 2009, the European maker of the abortion drug told Italian officials that it has killed dozens of women in Europe alone and that the total number of known worldwide deaths from the abortion drug — thought to be about 15 — is much higher. At the time, European abortion drug maker Exelgy told the Italian Pharmaceuticals Agency that 29 women have died from it.
