Abortion pill triggers change in legal tactics; a leading anti-abortionist concedes that trying to battle such operations is futile

Article Abstract:

Both supporters and opponents of abortion agree that the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) tentative approval of RU-486 has changed the abortion debate.

The FDA has not yet decided on how RU-486 will be labeled and marketed.
