Ru 486 Production

NPR's Vicki Que reports that the group trying to bring the "French abortion pill" to American women is having trouble raising the money it needs. The Population Council, a non-profit group in New York, set up a private, non-profit company to market RU 486 in the United States. But the company is having trouble raising the estimated $20 million it needs, in part because the drug is so controversial.
