About 25 years ago, the FDA approved mifepristone for chemical miscarriages, never so startlingly during Bill Clinton’s waning years as president. Its employ has progressively increased over the years, making up about two-thirds of abortions in the United States.

It is obvious that its use has increased in the last five times as a result of two factors: the rise in healthcare since the COVID-19 crisis and the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. My companion and coworker Athena Thorne wrote about this dangerous trend soon after Dobbs.
DIY abortion-by-mail did undoubtedly be more common as some states elect to limit the majority of abortions after Roe v. Wade was overturned, according to Athena. And the” It’s just a bunch of cells” audience is busy trying to persuade depressed girls and women to take a supplement and have everything go away, leaving everything exactly as it was. Pray for all of them.
Carrie N. Baker, a professor and advocate for baby-killing, claimed in a part in the Washington Monthly last week that the introduction of mifepristone via healthcare allows the pro-aborts to “outsmart” the pro-life activity. It’s a disgusting paragraph full of sarcastic language, with one allusion to the “increased criminalization of pregnancy.” ( Don’t roll your eyes at that line and make your head hurt. )

Baker’s revolting resentment toward killing children with a tablet explains how mifepristone via telehealth is likewise affordable, sometimes free, but at least surprisingly less expensive than a medical abortion. It also helps people avoid abortion restrictions in red state. She even spreads the myth that the girls taking mifepristone are protected.

Because the two drugs used for pregnancy, mifepristone and misoprostol, are 97.4 % successful and safer than Tylenol, these new strategies to abortion, both inside and outside the health system, work so well, according to Baker. ” Mifepristone blocks progesterone, which prevents a pregnancy from developing. The patient then takes misoprostol, which causes vaginal contractions to remove the pregnancy cells, typically within a few hours, 24 to 48 hours later.
Disgusting. However, the “reproductive freedom” movement relies on outdated, cherry-picked data to debate how” safe” the abortion pills are. Democratic governments have put all the pressure on the use of the abortion pills, and the evidence supporting the” security” of mifepristone has long relied on smaller sample size.
The initial acceptance under the Clinton presidency required three in-person visits, a prescription from a physician who would handle the medications in-house, and a requirement to report any adverse events. The Biden administration’s REMS from 2023 eliminated any requirements for visits to a doctor, and the Obama-era Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy ( REMS ) reduced the number of doctor visits to one.
These medications are unsafe, according to a new record. On Monday, the Ethics & Public Policy Center ( EPPC ) released its report, which contained some startling findings:

- This most well-known review of the abortion medication was based on analysis of information from an all-payer insurance claims collection that included 865, 727 mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023.
- Within 45 days of a mifepristone abortion, a mifepristone woman experiences sepsis, infection, hemorrhage, or another major severe occasion.
- The incidence of serious adverse events following mifepristone abortions is at least 22 times as high as the summary rate of “less than 0.5 %” in clinical studies reported on the drug label.
- To ensure doctors obligation for women receiving mifepristone under their care, the FDA does immediately restore its earlier, stronger individual safety protocols and responsibility complete reporting of its side effects.
- The FDA may look into the harm that mifepristone can cause to women and, based on goal safety standards, completely rethink its approval.
The FDA has relied on mifepristone’s safety in clinical trials of about 30 000 people, but the EPPC’s report examined 28 days as many cases as the FDA had. The dataset is more recent than any other sources of data used by the FDA.
The women in our dataset are generally representative of the women who have mifepristone abortions in the United States, according to EPPC. They are not a pre- and post-abortion group of generally healthy women recruited into various clinical trials conducted at various times around the world.

I don’t think mifepristone is” safer than Tylenol” when describing issues like” sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event.” Should we be shocked if this combination of drugs is intended to kill, though?
Leftists frequently advise us to” trust the science.” Do you believe that science that disproves their narrative will be trusted by them? I believe we are aware of the solution. Here’s hoping the FDA will revisit this risky pill regimen, though.
