British Teenager Becomes 14th Woman to Die From Dangerous Abortion Drug

“She (Manon Jones) was scared and I tried to reassure her. It was a very emotional experience for us both to witness her pass her baby and my grandchild into the bedpan," she said of the abortion experience.
Jones' mother said her daughter went to the hospital once and a scan showed no signs of problems, so she decided to head on a trip with friends.
“On June 19 I reluctantly packed her suitcase and took her to the train station. I was very worried about her. She said she was cold again and a bit light headed," Mrs. Jones said, according to the Welsh newspapers.
“We both held on to each other and the train doors were closing on our hands as I stood on the platform as the train was leaving. It was the last time I saw her alive," she added.
Mrs. Jones said her daughter returned from the trip three days later when her condition worsened. Once she arrived at the hospital, her daughter had already been sent to the intensive care unit after seizures and cardiac arrest.
“I stayed with her at the bedside all day and all night and gradually realized that Manon had already left us and was not likely to recover," she concluded.
The mifepristone abortion was done at six weeks into Jones' pregnancy.Eight women in the United States have died from the mifepristone abortion drug, one in Canada, now three in the UK, one in Sweden, and one in France.

Pygmy goat boards a TriMet bus (Portland, Or)

June 3, 2008
At approximately 9:45 p.m. last night, an unattended pygmy goat walked on a Line 14- Hawthorne bus. The bus was on layover at SE 94th and Foster and the operator was standing outside her bus with the doors open. The operator was concerned because of the freeway nearby and busy street traffic, and closed the bus doors. She immediately called dispatch and TriMet’s dispatch called 911. A Portland Police Officer responded and transported the goat. The 35-pound goat was wearing a nylon collar.
