CPAC panel discusses how killing humans by abortion pill is ‘not progress for women’

Former Planned Parenthood manager Abby Johnson, founder of the pro-life organization And Then There Were None, get on stage at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, where he discussed how the FDA’s decision to allow retail pharmacies to dispense abortion drugs will affect women in America.

Johnson took part in the panel, titled ‘Some Tuff Mutha,’ which also included Penny Nance, CEO and president of Concerned Women for America, and Kimberly Fletcher of Moms for America. The panel, starting at the 7:13 hour mark in the video below, focused on how human dignity is not respected in the United States today. Johnson focuses on the abortion pill regimen, which involves the administration of two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol.

“Our current administration, Biden and his incredibly partisan FDA have essentially greenlit abortion in every woman’s home across the country,” she said, adding, “We’re talking about women who going into pharmacies, asking for dangerous chemical abortion drugs, going home without any kind of medical supervision, taking these pills without really knowing what will happen to their bodies, not really understand what will happen inside their wombs.”

“They’re taking these babies to the bathroom, full-grown babies — 12, 14, 16 weeks into their pregnancy — potentially bleeding in their bathroom, not being able to go to an emergency care facility, looking in the bathroom and seeing their fully formed. baby floating there in the toilet,” she added. “And then these women have to make a decision, right? What do I do with this fully formed baby? What do I do with this child? I -do I scoop this child out of the toilet? Do I take the child to be buried? What do I do with it? Do I flush my child down the toilet?”

She asked, “I mean, what does this do psychologically to the thousands of women who are now going to pharmacies and making this decision out of pure ignorance? What is this going to do to our society? And we already know that abortion already has serious effects for women emotionally, physically, and we know it increases rates of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, suicidal ideation. And now we’ve built abortion facilities in every home of every woman in our country.”

After Johnson made his remarks, a reporter told him he was lying. But is he?

Fetal development

Johnson refers to babies at 12, 14, and 16 weeks as “fully developed.” What does this mean?

Pre-born children is absolute formed at the end of the third month (12 weeks) of pregnancy, in the sense that all organs and organ systems are present. The baby just needs time to grow and develop until he is capable of living outside the womb.

At 12 weeks, the baby’s gender can be seen, his nose and lips are “fully formed,” he can make facial expressions, and his intestines can “absorb water and glucose.” He can also suck his thumb and feel pain. His hands, eyes, and feet will be made retaliate touch Like any child, he is still growing until he becomes an adult one day.

Babies born at 21 weeks survive with help. (This is about half of a full-term pregnancy.)

Approval of the abortion pill

The abortion pill is only approved by the FDA for killing a preborn child in the first 70 days (10 weeks) of pregnancy. Yet, Planned Parenthood openly announces that it distributes the abortion pill at 11 weeks, and the Orlando Women’s Center abortion facility advertises online a one hour abortion pill procedure for pregnant women who are three to 14 weeks pregnant. The FDA has not approved a “one hour” abortion pill protocol.

As previously reported by Live Action News, The abortion chain also said“Please call today to be seen at one of our offices today in Tampa or Orlando where the abortion procedure for patients 3 to 24 weeks can be started and completed in 24 hours or less at 99% of patients.”

In addition, the telemed distribution of the abortion pill that began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic allowed the abortion industry to kill babies in the second and third trimesters because abortionists were not allowed to examine women before giving them of the abortion pill under the “no test” protocol. The abortion pill is even given by men to unsuspecting women — in one case, killing a baby at 26 weeks.

Dangers of abortion pills without medical supervision

The abortion pill has been found to be four times more dangerous for women than a first-trimester surgical abortion, and that risk increases with each week of pregnancy. This carries a high risk of failed abortion, after which the abortion client may be required to have a second surgical procedure; otherwise, she may experience infection from her baby’s remaining body and/or pregnancy tissue. In addition, if the client unknowingly experiences an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy while taking the abortion pill, the outcome can be fatal.

This “no-test” protocol for the abortion pill puts women at greater risk of complications.

A pro-abortion Gynuity-sponsored study published in 2021 in the journal Contraception revealed that six percent (6%) of 1,157 women who took the abortion pill visited the emergency room or an urgent care center for complications related to the abortion pill. Ten of those were serious side effects, with five women requiring blood transfusions. Allowing pharmacies to dispense the abortion pill and ignoring the need for women to undergo any tests, scans, or blood tests before taking the abortion pill could increase the number of women dying from on the abortion pill.

This research reflects on the complications associated with the abortion pill in the United Kingdom, where it was found that almost six percent (6%) of women in the UK took the abortion pill between June 1, 2019, and May 31 , 2021, was treated for complications. In addition, a 2020 report from abortion giant Marie Stopes Australia also revealed an overall complication rate of 6.37% for women taking the abortion pill that year. Also in the UK, two women died after taking an abortion pill during the pandemic without supervision.

In the US, on January 4, 2023, the FDA updated its statistics on the abortion pill, writing, “As of June 30, 2022, there were 28 death reports in patients associated with mifepristone since the product was approved in September 2000, including two cases of ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy located outside the womb, such as in the fallopian tubes) resulting in death; and some fatal cases of severe systemic infection (also called sepsis).”*

I saw my baby

In addition to the physical risks to women, taking the abortion pill can cause emotional trauma for women. As Johnson explained, women may find their dead baby in the bathroom after taking the abortion pill at home or on campus.

A woman named Salome shared her terrifying abortion pill story, including details of the physical pain she experienced and the horror of realizing what she had done when she saw her baby. He explained:

After hours of pain, I finally felt great physical relief, and the pain went away immediately. I managed to get up. When I turned around, I saw the most painful thing I had ever seen [in] in my whole life. I saw my son.

At that moment, it finally sunk in properly. I really got pregnant then. I carry the life I created inside of me until that moment.

“After that,” he said, “I cried for hours. I put my son in a little box and kept saying I was sorry for what I had done. I cry and scream, but nothing can turn back time. I feel like a part of me has died. I felt angry. I felt guilty. I feel like my world is coming to an end and I am the worst person in this world. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was the best thing I ever created, and I ruined it.”

Also, Christina said that taking the abortion pill was “like HELL!” and “worse than working with my son.” He continued:

Within two hours of taking the second set of pills the baby was in my bathroom. When I turned back, there was the bag and everything. I opened the sack and held the helpless little baby in my hands. I cried and felt like I had just killed a very innocent person.

Countless women have experienced this trauma after being made to believe their baby was nothing more than tissue.

Johnson concludes by saying, “[The] the left will say this is progress for women but I would say that creating abortion facilities in every woman’s home — I would say that flushing babies down the toilet because of chemical abortions that it — I wouldn’t say it’s not progress for women. I would say this is regression for women and not something we should celebrate.”
