The largest study of women who took the abortion pill reveals that 1 in 10 women suffer ‘severe adverse events’ such as sepsis, hemorrhaging, infection or another severe effect within 45 days of taking the pills, according to the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
This comes as zero surprise to Abby Johnson, who had two abortions of her own, one of which was a medication abortion and was discussed in her book, Unplanned, as well as shown in the movie of the same name, which was released in 2019. Fun fact: the movie, Unplanned, received an R rating due to the graphic scene of her medication abortion, which was tampered down from what she described in the book.
“From the moment when Roe was overturned and the demand for medication abortion pills went through the roof, I’ve said that women have no idea the harm and absolute panic the abortion pills cause. No one is giving them the full story,” said Abby Johnson. “When I worked at Planned Parenthood, we had a script we went off of and all it said was that women may experience symptoms related to a heavy period, not the curled-up-on-the-bathroom floor agony that many women go through, including myself. I thought I was going to die and that my parents would find me dead on the bathroom floor when I had my medication abortion.”
The Ethics and Public Policy study reviewed and analyzed data from 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023 in an all-payer insurance claims database. They found that 10.93% of women who took the abortion pill experienced severe adverse events within 45 days of taking it. The FDA labels risk of the pills as “less than 0.5 percent” from clinical trials on the drug. This study shows the real-world data as 22 times higher than the summary figure.
The Ethics and Public Policy states that, “Danco Laboratories markets Mifeprex as ‘the safe and effective abortion pill,’ but our research shows that mifepristone abortion, as currently practiced in the U.S., is not safe and effective. The manufacturer and the FDA rely on the results of 10 clinical trials with a total of 30,966 participants, less than 0.5 percent of whom reportedly experienced serious adverse reactions.”
“The adverse effects of the abortion pill cannot be overstated,” said Abby. “Not only are the physical side effects not being discussed but the mental health effects are also on no one’s radar. What will a woman go through when she sees her discarded baby in the toilet? What will she think when she has to decide if she will flush it down or not? Women are also angry, like myself, that they are not being told that an abortion pill abortion is not like a heavy period – it’s much, much worse. I think that many more than 10% of women are experiencing terrible side effects of the abortion pill.”
And Then There Were None has compiled many firsthand, personal stories of women who have taken the abortion pill and were never told about the side effects at Little Pills That Kill. Many, like Abby, thought they were dying.
The abortion industry has no regard for the lives of women and their babies. They only want to make money. Abortion pills are easy money makers since abortion clinics spend so little employee time with the patients and hardly ever follow up with them. If patients do call back, according to former abortion workers, they are instructed to go to the Emergency Room but not say they took the pills. Instead, clinic workers are instructed to tell women to say they had a miscarriage.
“Abortion pills are the biggest war against women right now,” said Abby Johnson.
