WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two new deaths have been reported after women took the abortion pill known as RU-486 but officials do not know if the fatalities are connected to the drug, U.S. regulators said on Friday.

'At this time we are investigating all circumstances associated with these cases and are not able to confirm the causes of death,' the Food and Drug Administration said in an advisory to the public.

Four previously reported deaths were linked to complications from a bacterial infection that developed after the women took the abortion pill, which is sold by privately held Danco Laboratories.

In the two new cases, it is unknown if the women had bacterial infections, and if so, whether they were infected with the same rare bacterium identified in the earlier deaths. The bacterium is called Clostridium sordelli.

RU-486, also known as Mifeprex or mifepristone, is approved for terminating a pregnancy of 49 days or less. Another drug, misoprostol, is given two days later to complete the abortion.

The RU-486 label warns about the possibility of serious or even fatal infections, which also can happen after surgical abortions. In its alert issued Friday, the FDA urged physicians to be aware of the possibility of infection following RU-486 and to consider giving antibiotics if symptoms appear."

This is very sad and disturbing to see women lose their life over a lie. From the moment of conception that egg is a human being. One life is taken and another is put in great danger. Doctors and pharmaceutical companies put women at serious risk for the almighty dollar.
