The Abortion Clinic - Action, better late than never?

We reported on The Abortion Clinic, the South African pedlars of probably fake abortion pills as far back as April this year.

This crook claims to be selling Misoprostol, a heavy-duty "morning after" pill. Misoprostol is not something you fool around with. According to RxList Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec) is heavy-duty material and in a large warning says:

"UTERINE RUPTURE HAS BEEN REPORTED WHEN CYTOTEC WAS ADMINISTERED IN PREGNANT WOMEN TO INDUCE LABOR OR TO INDUCE ABORTION BEYOND THE EIGHTH WEEK OF PREGNANCY"

He offers to deal with "un wanted pregnancies,womb cleaning in a private enviornment". It didn't take much work to establish that he's not a real doctor at all. He's a traditional quack.

According to reports in the Sunday Standard today it seems like the forces of Law and Order have finally caught up and are taking an interest.

Sorry if this sounds pompous and gloating it's not meant to, but we told the authorities about this in April. You heard it here first.

Better late than never?
