Not the NYT:
When Mifeprex was first approved by the F.D.A. in 2000, the standard regimen was to give the drug in a doctor's office followed two days later by an oral dose of a different drug, misoprostol. Women expelled the fetus over the following days or weeks in a process that mimicked a miscarriage.
Um. No.
Whenever anti-choicers talk about abortion or stem cell research, they frame and distort to make a procedure more extreme than it really is.
An embryo is what its called between conception and 8 weeks. This is the stage when the vast majority of abortions are performed. However, notice how often antis say "fetus"; which is 8 weeks to birth. That is, if they don't go ahead and call it a baby.
And don't even get me started on "partial birth abortion". It's late-term abortion.

this should be a question of medical privacy.
Remember, if you give the government the POWER to say you can NOT have a medical proceedure it is a hair's breath away from giving that government the POWER to say you MUST have a medical proceedure.
How much power should we give the government over vasectomy?
