MEDIA SILENT ON RU-486'S NAZI DEATH CAMP PEDIGREE

Lost in all the commentary on the FDA's approval of the abortion
pill RU-486 is an inconvenient and extraordinarily chilling detail about
the company that invented the drug, Rousell-Uclaf.

Rousell, based in France, developed RU-486 in the 1980s, and after
extensive testing the French government approved it for use in 1988. But
Rousell's West German parent company, Hoechst AG, did not.

Hoechst had two problems with the idea of making easy abortions available
to a mass market. Not only was abortion illegal in largely Catholic
pre-unification West Germany, but RU-486 was sure to conjure up memories
of the darkest chapter in German history - the Holocaust.

The chiefs at Hoechst AG, now one of the largest chemical companies in the
world with over 145,000 employees, did not want their overseas customers
to be reminded - or perhaps learn for the first time - about Hoescht's
direct link to the Nazi death camps of World War II.

Hoechst itself was born of the Nuremberg War Tribunal, which disbanded its
precursor, the Nazi chemical giant IG Farben. The tribunal convicted
twelve Farben executives of war atrocities, including "crimes against
humanity, murder, extermination and enslavement."

Hoechst, Bayer and BASF became Farben's direct postwar corporate descendants.

Farbenworks factories at Hoechst, Degesch and Leverkusen worked overtime
producing toxic gases for the Third Reich, including the deadly agent
Zyklon B - the very poison that was used to exterminate millions in
Hitler's gas chambers.

The Buna Rubber facility at Auschwitz was also part of Farbenworks' Nazi
operations, which even included a special corporate concentration camp at
the site known as Monowitz. But Monowitz was just one of several slave
labor camps operated by Hoechst's corporate ancestor throughout the Nazi
empire before Hitler's defeat in 1945.

No wonder today's pro-abortion journalists don't want to remind their
readers about the connection between America's new abortion pill and the
deadly history of the company that invented it.
