When then President Bill Clinton forced Chemical Abortion Pills onto the U.S. Market, data from tests conducted more than 40 years ago were part of the “proof” that basically said, Sure, the pills KILL, but don’t worry, a baby will be gone. Over the years, Democratic Party Presidents Barack Obama and then Joe Biden deregulated Chemical Abortion Pills, making it easy for Chemical Abortion Pill pushers to sell and sexual abusers to buy death of the preborn at home – a human rights tragedy available by mail.

But what about women? What happened to them?

A new study out from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) titled “The Abortion Pill Harms Women” finds that it’s so much worse than the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) admits. Two new truths are now available to address old lies. Most importantly, we now know this: “Serious adverse events from mifepristone are approximately 22 times more frequent” than the FDA reports, which means that more than 1 in 10 patients will “experience at least one serious adverse event.”

The data is chilling and far different from what Democratic Administration FDA officials have admitted. EEPC reports: “10.93 percent of women experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious or life-threatening adverse event within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion, far greater than the summary figure of ‘less than 0.5 percent’ in clinical trials reported on the drug label.”

Abortion radicals on the Left chant in hearings and the media that the deadly drugs are “safe,” which is ludicrous considering their impact on preborn babies and untrue even of their impact on women. And for the most part, they parrot data from years ago. EEPC notes “the current FDA-approved drug label is based on the results of 10 clinical trials with a total of 30,966 women, less than 0.5 percent of whom reportedly experienced severe adverse reactions.”

In contrast, this new data comes from “HIPAA-compliant analysis of a health insurance claims database that includes 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023.”

What makes this analysis of healthcare data so significant is the consistent failure of the FDA to demand reporting of bad outcomes of those exposed to the drugs – we should have known this all along. Ironically, the abortion lobby has tried to point to the lack of such negative data in court as proof that Chemical Abortion Pills are not so bad… but the lack of testing doesn’t mean no problems exist.

The negligent lack of curiosity by the FDA was well illustrated when Chemical Abortion Pill issues were discussed at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, when the reporting – or lack thereof – was debated.

Abortion-favoring Kaiser reports on the FDA’s consistent negligence: “The 5th Circuit agreed with AHM and ruled that the FDA failed to examine the cumulative effect of all the proposed changes in 2016 through a single controlled study and did not explain why it did not do so. In addition, they found that in 2021, the FDA relied on incomplete data because, in 2016, the FDA removed the requirement for prescribers to report adverse events beyond the FDA’s standard reporting requirements. Further, the court found that the FDA relied on research that did not affirmatively support the suspending of the in-person dispensing requirement.”

The failures don’t stop there. We have no National Abortion Reporting law, meaning that what we “know” about abortion comes from information volunteered by abortionists to either the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or Planned Parenthood-founded Guttmacher Institute.

Add to that void, a lack of information on the environmental harms of abortion water pollution as today chemically tainted blood, placenta tissue, and human remains now go into your drinking water, more than 640,000 times a year if you believe the Guttmacher Institute, though I don’t – as it’s impossible to verify.

SFLA has engaged in an aggressive campaign to highlight other issues with Chemical Abortion Pill testing – or the lack thereof, in particular, when it comes to the environment. Our own government never did its own homework on the risks to our waterways.

As previously reported: First, the FDA slapped a cover memo accepting the 1996 Environmental Assessment submitted by the Population Council, which would profit from the drugs, without further research. They accepted the general opinion that the littering of the package was the main environmental concern. But with each change in the health and safety standards, that error was compounded, meaning that the FDA failed FIVE TIMES to examine the risks to the environment in 2000, 2016, 2019, 2021, and 2023.

Bottom line: CHEMICAL ABORTION PILLS ARE KILLERS – of preborn infants, of women, and of the environment through abortion water pollution, but the deadly risks are ignored by a predatory industry that enjoys a financial reward. The Pro-Life Generation (PLG) calls on the Trump Administration to go back to the drawing board and pull the deadly pills from the market because of the lack of oversight and the obvious dangers.

Preborn babies and women’s lives should not be sacrificed for a quick buck for Planned Parenthood.
