A new report from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) reveals the abortion pill is far more dangerous than many women are led to believe. The study, which analyzed insurance data from over 865,000 mifepristone abortions between 2017 and 2023, found that 1 in 10 women experienced serious adverse events, including sepsis, hemorrhaging, infection, hospitalization, and emergency room visits, within just 45 days of taking the abortion pill.
All of this from a drug the FDA famously claims is “safe and effective” for women.
The Truth About the Abortion Pill
Since the FDA began an aggressive push of abortion pills, our National Medical Director, Dr. Karysse Hutson, has spoken about the serious dangers of approving the abortion pill and removing safeguards for women.
In April 2021, the FDA made a temporary allowance for abortion pills to be prescribed via telehealth and delivered by mail without an in-person visit. This policy was made permanent in December 2021 based on claims that it was safe. But real-world data now shows the rate of serious adverse events is at least 22 times higher than what clinical trials reported.
“When an organization like the FDA or ACOG says things are safe, that’s not always the case,” adds Dr. Hutson, “OBGYNs like myself know this to be true because we’re treating those tens of thousands of patients coming into the ER with complications related to the abortion pill.”
Dr. Hutson continues to lead with courage and conviction, championing women’s health above politics and ensuring that women’s safety and dignity remain top priorities.
