Please don't take this as an anti-abortion article. Read it for what it is, spreading the news that persons that use the "abortion pill," RU-486, should exercise caution and carefully follow the directions for it's use.
Since RU-486 became legal in the U.S., there have been at least seven deaths that followed taking the pills. While there is no direct evidence that the pills caused the deaths, there is at least a link to the pills among these individuals.

Two more women die after taking abortion pill
FDA warns doctors to watch for rare, deadly infection
WASHINGTON - Two more women have died after using the abortion pill RU-486, federal health regulators said Friday, in warning doctors to watch for a rare but deadly infection implicated in earlier deaths.
At least seven U.S. women have died after taking the pill, sold since 2000. The Food and Drug Administration cannot prove the drug was to blame in any of the cases.
In a cluster of four cases in California, the women died from an infection of the bloodstream, or sepsis. Those women did not follow FDA-approved instructions for the pill-triggered abortion, which requires swallowing three tablets of one drug, followed by two of another two days later.
