Ug.. I don't want to answer for steen but
this is getting annoying. People. He
has a life outside of the internet! He
is a freakin doctor supposedly.. He isn't
going to be able to spend every waking
moment on here nor should he feel
obligated to. He can come and go as he
pleases. He also hasn't posted on
another site that we go to so it's not
like he's ignoring you guys. He's
probably pulling some overtime at work..
Anyway it doesn't matter.
Sorry to answer for him again but this is
just getting ridiculous and no he is not
paying me or telling me to write this
before you start on me jlee with the sheep

methotrexate attacks the

How can you now say that methotrexate is
not used in terminations doctor? Oh and
please stop running from evidence at least
be man enough to admit when your
wrong.
are you blind doctor all the evidence is
in this thread including relavent links so
come on show me your evidence that what I
state is wrong.
Oh and I wonder why you did,nt post your
response on this the relavent thread
hmmmmmmmm maybe because the evidence is
here.

the links don't work.
And there is no evidence anywhere that mtx
has ever been used in pregnancy
termination other than for ectopic
pregnancies. Neither is there evidence
that women have died from mtx use for
abortions. So I am very curious where
that "evidence" actually is.

Abstract
acute intoxication with methotrexate, used
as an abortive, has not been described in
chile. We report two female patients,
aged 15 and 24 years old, who presented
with mucositis, erythrodermia,
pancytopenia, and elevation of hepatic
enzymes. Plasma methotrexate levels
confirmed the clinical diagnosis and both
patients were treated with high leucovorin
doses and management of associated
complications. In one patient, pregnancy
continued, giving birth to a newborn with
cranial, face and limb malformations.
The second patient had a late rescue with
leucovorin and was discharged with a
persistent sensory motor neuropathy.
Considering the severity of complications
and that patients may deny its use, when
there is reasonable clinical suspicion of
methotrexate intoxication, leucovorin
treatment should be
started.
<
span class="postbody">nope, no word of the
women dying in that article, an article
showing the attempted home abortion
through use of mtx, but not a medically
performed tactic.
So again, the scientific medical
literature does not show even ***one***
case of the woemn dying from using mtx for
abortions.
So pardon me for insisting that you
actually provide evidence for these women
dying from mtx abortions.
No? You can't?

no recorded death from
mtx for abortion has ever been shown in

I say that your claim is an outright

repeat. I can only guess to your motive
for repeating lies, but to each their own,
I guess.

have looked in the medical journals, and I

So now the burden is on you. Show the

Your claim, you provide the evidence.
That, or retract your silly claim.
Because by now, the evidence is getting to
be very clear that no such death has

3rd fatality impels new warnings on
methotrexate
new york times
washington - the death of a second
california woman after taking an abortion
pill prompted federal drug regulators
monday to strengthen the warning label on
methotrexate
the woman died in january, according to
the food and drug administration. It was
the third u.S. Death since the drug's
approval in 2000.
The other californian, 18-year-old holly
patterson of livermore, died of a massive
infection following use of ru-486 in
september 2003.
The new warnings remind doctors to watch
patients for signs of systemic bacterial
infection, excessive vaginal bleeding and
ectopic, or tubal, pregnancies. They
also provide warnings to consumers.
Drug label changes say that, while no
causal relationship between ru-486, also
known as mifepristone, and bacterial
infections or ectopic pregnancies has been
established, doctors should be aware of
risks.
Anti-abortion advocates say the deaths
show that mifepristone is unsafe and
should be taken from the market.
Abortion rights advocates say that it has
been used by nearly 360,000 u.S. Women
and that bad outcomes are exceptionally
rare.
The argument does not end there. Dr.
Cynthia summers, spokeswoman for danco
laboratories, mifepristone's maker, said
she does not believe the january death
should be attributed to mifepristone.
She said the coroner's report said the
woman had taken methotrexate, a cancer
drug also used to induce abortions.
"we believe our drug is not to blame,"
summers said.
Or pregnancy termination† prior to the
63rd day of pregnancy in combination with
intravaginal misoprostol:
intramuscular dosage:
pregnant females: one hundred seventy
eight women received intramuscular
methotrexate 50 mg/m2 followed by
intravaginal misoprostol 5—7 days later.
Seven days after the misoprostol dose,
patients were offered a second dose if
there was evidence of a persistant
gestational sac. Ninety-six percent of
women had a successful medical abortion
after the first or second dose of
misoprostol. Seventy-six percent of
women successfully aborted within 12 hours
after insertion of misoprostol.
Methotrexate: though not fda-approved for
abortions, this chemical is also used as a
treatment for arthritis and psoriasis—as
well as a cancer treatment, when
administered in higher doses. Injected
five to nine weeks into the pregnancy,
methotrexate creates a folic acid
deficiency that stops cell division (the
growth process), resulting in termination
of the fetus. Suppositories are then
administered to expel the unborn child.
Possible side effects include severe
bleeding, nausea, pain, diarrhea, bone
marrow depression, severe anemia, liver
damage and methotrexate-induced lung
disease and death
there you go d.I.C.K head now if I
remember rightly you had the gall to say
that methotrexate was only used in ectopic
pregnancy not in first trimester
terminations care to retract your lie
troll?
Please note this is fact.

My point is, I can go to abortion sites,
and copy and paste stuff from that and
post it over here. Those kinds of sites
are biased. Pro-life sites are biased for
pro-life peopole, and vise versa. You
don't see me copying and pasting the

you were just posting them to try and
further prove your point, but those
pro-life sites are biased, as well as
pro-choice so I don't usually go to them.

no probs I did actualy check out some
sites that were neither pl or pc which is
where I copied and pasted from and yes I
admit that the terminology was diffrent
but in the end I got the same evidence so
no harm done .
