Regarding the RU486 story, Pope John Paul II addressed how the contraceptive mentality leads to such practices. In Evangelium Vitae he said:
“The close connection which exists in mentality between the practice of contraception and that of abortion is becoming increasingly obvious. It is being demonstrated in an alarming way by the development of chemical products, intrauterine devices and vaccines which, distributed with the same ease as contraceptives, really act as abortifacients in the very early stages of the development of the life of the new human being” (13.4).
