Elective abortion

A 23-year-old woman took oral misoprostol 600 micro-grams/day twice when she was 7 weeks pregnant to induce an abortion. At 12 weeks she developed a Varicella infection. At 15 weeks, ultrasound showed a fetus of 14.5 weeks size with several abnormalities. After amniocentesis at 17 weeks, an elective abortion was performed.

At least seven women are known to have elected abortions as a consequence. In the magazine, Mother Jones ( The Bendectin Coverup , November, 1980), the authors counseled women to use - instead of Bendectin - natural alternatives including 100 mg of pyridoxine (a dose 10 times that of the same compound in the Bendectin formulation).

Public attention was again drawn to dioxin in July 1976 when an explosion at Givaudan s factory at Seveso, Northern Italy, released a vapour cloud of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, containing dioxin, over the surrounding area. The accident was caused because process operatives did not follow the set procedure.

In human medicine, prostaglandin p2a is used for the induction of therapeutic and elective abortions, and for the induction of labour, either alone or in conjunction with other drugs such as oxytocin.

It is likely that gun control will be an issue in the 2004 presidential race between Democrat John Kerry and incumbent George W. Bush, but it is unlikely to be a major issue like the economy, Iraq, or the war on terrorism. This does not mean it will not be an important issue, however—in the expected close election, any issue able to motivate even a relatively small number of voters could be decisive.

Although not as much so as abortion or same-sex marriage, gun control is a cultural issue. The effects of such issues on political outcomes are always hard to predict. 

Cannabis is the illicit drug that is most commonly used by young women and they are not likely to withdraw until the early stages of pregnancy. The effects of early maternal marijuana use on fetal growth have been reported in pregnant women who elected voluntary saline-induced abortion at mid-gestation (weeks 17-22) (140).
