Chemical Abortion Far More Dangerous to Women Than FDA Admits, Research Shows

The rate of serious adverse events after chemical abortion is at least 22 times as high as the FDA says, according to new data.

For decades, the pro-life movement has maintained that every abortion has at least two victims: the unborn child and the pregnant mother. Numbers from a new report reaffirm that, far from being a health-care solution, chemical abortion poses significant physical risks to women.

This morning, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, where I am a fellow, released a paper that is the largest-known study of the abortion pill’s aftereffects for women. The research shows that chemical abortion is considerably more dangerous to pregnant women than the Food and Drug Administration presently admits.
