Lawmakers Seek to Halt Use of RU - 486 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 9:10 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Anti-abortion lawmakers are preparing to renew their fight to halt sales of the abortion pill RU-486 after a California woman's death was linked to the pill. Rep. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said at least four dozen lawmakers are backing a bill he planned to introduce Thursday that would suspend the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the use of RU-486, also called mifepristone, pending an audit by the congressional General Accounting Office. .. DeMint said he would call his legislation Holly's Law, after Holly Patterson, 18, of Livermore, Calif., who died Sept. 17. An autopsy determined that Patterson died of septic shock caused by endomyometritis, an inflammation of the uterus. The report says that endomyometritis was caused by a drug-induced abortion. Although Patterson died just days after initiating an abortion with the drug, the controversial abortion medication was not specifically mentioned in the teen's Cause of Death report. The California Department of Health Services and the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research are examining Patterson's death.
