Title: Once controversial pill quietly changing abortion experience

Summary: The pill known as RU-486 is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative for abortion. In the U.S., it is now part of 14 percent of procedures. More physicians who did not previously provide abortions are now subscribing the pill, and doctors who already provided abortion are providing the pill on top of the other procedures, as another option.
Reaction: I think it's great because taking pills is a much easier process than a full-on operation. It also makes the process a lot more private, so women who choose to do it won't get ridiculed as much by the religious bafoons that protest outside of hospitals. That's right, I called them bafoons.
