Mr. HargreavesThis petition is against the drug RU486, which destroys life and risks damaging the health of women. As someone who believes that life is sacred arid begins at the moment of conception, I am happy to support the petition, signed by Mr. Barrie Price of 54 Palace road, Ripon, and 47 residents of north Yorkshire. The petition says:
we the undersigned wish to note with regret that, the abortion pill Mifegyne known as RU486 has been granted a product licence. We believe that drugs and medicines should be used only to save life. We deplore the fact that this drug causes the death of unborn human beings and we express our grave concern that it will damage women physically and psychologically.Wherefore your petitioners pray that your honourable House, which is committed to upholding respect for human life and protection of the weak and vulnerable, will do 787 everything possible to prevent the distribution and use of … RU486 and any other drug which, like it, are produced with the deliberate intention of destroying innocent human life.And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray etc.To lie upon the Table.
