Mr. Speaker, it gives me pleasure, on behalf of some of my constituents, to present two petitions to the House.
The first petition deals with the drug RU486 which has been used in the abortion of human children at an early stage of development.
Their concern is that the administration of RU486 has caused the death of at least one woman to date and has caused serious health problems in other clinical trials in France, and that the only proven use of RU486 is in the abortion of young human beings.
Therefore, they petition the House to withhold the approval of RU486 and prevent the marketing and testing of this drug.
