Sign the petition. It is so important that this drug is available to the women of Australia.
35 Countries use Mifepristone
Mifepristone is widely used and has been approved by 35 countries including the United Kingdom,
France, the United States, Sweden, Greece, Spain, Tunisia and New Zealand.1
21 million women use it
It has been used by over 21 million women worldwide.
In the US where mifepristone has been available since 2000 (for five years) there have been 530,000 medical abortions using Mifepristone.
In that time, five years, there have been four deaths from septic shock.
The total number of abortions in the US in 2002 was 854,122.5 The number of medical abortions was 36,297 which is 4.2%. (Mifepristone is the drug used to induce medical abortion in almost all cases.)
Some interesting comparisons
In the US there were 27 deaths caused by aspirin in 2000.6 By contrast there were four deaths possibly related to the use of Mifepristone over five years.

This drug is already used in Australia as an anti-inflamatory and an anti-cancer drug. If you read the above article you can see why this drug is preferable to injection and potentially a lot safer.
The Health Minister should be shot.
