Abortion Pills are Hurting Women, Moms Regret Taking Them and Fight to Save Their Baby
May be the decision of a Texas judge be more impactful on the abortion industry than Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last summer?
“Safe, legal and rare,” the catchphrase coined by Bill Clinton to frame abortion, was an attempt to unify abortion support in America. Energetic and shameless, the Clinton administration wasted no time in trying to fast-track the approval of mifepristone abortion, along with expanded political and financial protection of the abortion industry.
The approval of mifepristone of the US Food and Drug Administration, in an instant, completely changed the landscape of abortion in America. Since that day, the use of this drug has grown exponentially and the number of injuries to women and the tragic loss of millions of American children.
But was the approval given with full assurance for public safety?
Surprisingly, the approval of mifepristone came under the Expedited Approval Program known as Subpart Hwhich enables the rapid sale of drugs that treat serious conditions, and fills unmet medical need.
The so-called need for abortion is placed in the same category normally reserved for infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, rare cancers, non-malignant hematological or neurological disorders. Someone made a claim these types of loopholes have moved the FDA away from regulation and protecting public safety and toward partnership instead.

The FDA openly admits that accelerated approval comes with more uncertainty – which should concern every American consumer who trusts the FDA.
Because pregnancy is not a disease, an infection, or an illness, this lawsuit argues that mifepristone should not have been a candidate for this program.
This Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM) v. FDA The case also alludes to the expedited approval that allowed the Clinton administration to make mifepristone available before the 2000 election, a convenient political tactic. Long after Big Abortion introduced the abortion pill as a form of health care, its availability is an essential service for all women.
Politics mixed with a little science – a lot can go wrong with that plan – and there is.
After nearly a quarter century of the rise of chemical abortion, “safe, legal and rare” is now being purged from the Big Abortion narrative. The abortion industry, with the support of politically motivated health care organizations, has moved the US into a place of abortion at any cost, in any place, despite any legal restrictions.
Is chemical abortion safe?
The safety of Mifepristone is a major point of contention in this case and there is much conflict about which studies are valid. With the abortion industry’s advertising focus on “safer than Tylenol” and “just a pill” along with the removal of FDA safeguards, one might think that chemical abortion is a safer alternative for women than an operation.
However, in the first six years following approval, the FDA reported six deaths following mifepristone ingestion as well as “nine life-threatening incidents, 232 hospitalizations, 116 blood transfusions, and 88 cases of infection.”
Just twelve years later in 2018, the FDA reported 24 deaths and 4,000 adverse events. Since then, more have died, chemical abortions have been shown to quadruple the risk of surgical abortion ever, and one in five women need emergency care after the abortion pill.
As the women continued flood our emergency departments across the country, showing bleeding and infections, our health care system continues to turn a blind eye.
In the unclear, the FDA has stopped collecting any data about these adverse events, unless they are fatal, in the last seven years. Until now, there is no randomized trials to study mid- to longer-term complications with mifepristone.
There is no longer a personal requirement for giving mifepristone, removing most safeguards for women, including confirmation of intrauterine pregnancy and gestational age. A woman’s risk of dying from an abortion increasing by 38% for each week beyond 8 weeks of pregnancy.
is it rare?
In 2020, chemical abortion took the lead for the method of choice in the US for ending a pregnancy. Just three years later, it had grown to 65-80% of all abortions.
Providers who offer abortion pills instead of surgical abortion have less overhead, less staffing requirements, no surgical suite to maintain, no equipment to sanitize.
Advertising for this type of abortion has been effective because they promise women “no needles,” “no touch,” “private,” and “early pregnancy execution.” Some websites and social media pages share pictures of aborted children in an effort to prove the efficacy of their drug.
The FDA estimates that mifepristone is legally prescribed more than five million times since its approval. Because abortion reporting is inconsistent and highly inaccurate, and because of the “Pill by Mail” market, it’s impossible to really know the true numbers.
Abortion is now available anytime, anywhere to anyone who can afford it. This includes wishes pimp or traffic woman and those who may resell the drugs or pass them on to friends.
Will it stay legal?
Or should we ask the bigger question – will it last available?
The very process of “do it yourself, home abortion” allows for a lack of regulation. Since the Dobbs decision, women have continued to access these drugs, prescribed via telemedicine across state lines and through pharmacy and abortion websites, even if they live in the red or blue state.
As brick-and-mortar abortion facilities become a thing of the past, the profits and harms of chemical abortion are on the rise.
Access to Help continue to violate FDA and local laws by providing abortions in what they consider to be underserved areas. Websites sell drugs with discounts for bulk buyers. “Pill by Mail” allows anyone, anywhere, immediate access to these drugs regardless of current local laws.

What do women say about going back on the abortion pill?
Here are some of those many examples of what we hear every day at the Abortion Pill Rescue Network:
~ I wonder if it’s too late…They are amazing to me. I am so grateful to everyone who takes time out of their day to be with me. My baby’s heartbeat is strong 168. My next ultrasound is this Wednesday. Putting up some strong prayers for my baby and relief.
~ I am happy to say that he is always wanted. Even though I have my doubts, I love my sweet baby girl. I hope we can find courage and ways to help support more women in these situations. I believe that everyone should be educated on the reversal process because it is truly an amazing thing. So many babies have been saved through this process and by saving babies you may be saving a mother too.
~ Yes – success. There is a heartbeat. We pray. Thank you very much for your help and taking the call. Glad to hear I have options.
~ I’m fine. Had an ultrasound last week and was told it was a baby girl. He said everything was fine and he was very active. I appreciate your help and am so thankful I found your information!!
~ Checkup today at 10w3d and we can’t believe how much progress we’ve made in the last month. I can’t believe how lucky and blessed I am and every time I look at my baby, I can’t believe there was a time when I wasn’t sure. When I heard the heartbeat and saw them moving there and how big they had gotten, I was literally in tears.
It doesn’t matter how the district court in Texas rules on Case AHMthe parties will likely appeal to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and then to the Supreme Court.
Because the FDA has failed to warn or protect the American public from these dangerous drugs, we should have removed these abortion drugs from our health care system and markets long ago.
