- Share via

Anti-abortion groups called the decision a public relations stunt designed to promote what they see as a potentially dangerous pill and to force it on the U.S. market. But abortion-rights advocates hailed the decision as a major victory for women who want abortions but do not want to undergo a possibly dangerous surgical procedure.
