FDA report shows casualties from the abortion pill continue to climb

Published percentages for ER visits on mifepristone’s 2023 label indicate that 2.9 to 4.6% of women who take it end up in the emergency room, indicating that abortion pill ER visits could be in the tens of thousands every year. In addition, the FDA’s medication guide acknowledges that as many as seven percent (7%) of women will need surgery after taking mifepristone “to stop bleeding” or to complete the abortion… These percentages, against Guttmacher Institute’s updated 648,500 annual abortion pill data from 2023, reveal that each year, 39,000 to 45,400 women may need additional surgery, and 19,400 to over 32,000 women may report to an emergency department after taking abortion-inducing drugs.

“I speak for the women who are facing emotional, mental, and physical abuse. For the women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant. For the women scared for their life, and their child’s. For the women who are told that abortion is their only option.”
