ABORTION PILL

Emergency room visits from abortion pill estimated in the tens of thousands

Abortion pill-related emergency room visits are estimated to be in the tens of thousands, based on published percentages for ER visits on the drug’s 2023 label. The label, according to plaintiffs in an abortion pill lawsuit soon to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, also allegedly shows that “roughly one in 25 women who take mifepristone will end up in the emergency room.”

In addition, according to the drug’s medication guide, it is estimated that in 2023, between 11,000 and 39,000 women who took the abortion pill potentially needed “a surgical procedure because the pregnancy did not completely pass from the uterus or to stop bleeding.“

Currently there are no federal requirements that abortion pill complications or ‘adverse events’ must be reported, other than known abortion pill-related deaths.

PERSPECTIVE

Dear Mr. President, My Life Is Worth Living

As a teenager, I described myself as the "little girl who can't walk, but always smiles." I reflected on this youthful characterization often throughout the past month - ever since I learned that the Bidens invited Kate Cox to the upcoming State of the Union as their special guest.

Kate Cox is a Texas mom who chose abortion after learning that her preborn baby had Trisomy 18, a condition that increases the risk of stillbirth, or infant death shortly after birth. Though Texas law prohibits abortions, it mimics all other pro-life laws in providing exceptions for medical emergencies endangering mothers’ lives.

AROUND THE WORLD

27 year old autistic Alberta woman approved for euthanasia. Her father is challenging the decision in court.

CBC News reported on March 12, 2024 of an Alberta court case concerning a father who has petitioned the court to prevent the euthanasia death of his 27-year-old autistic daughter-M.V.-- who lives at home.

The father is stating that his daughter does not have a medical condition that qualifies under the law, whereas the daughter has already been approved for death by lethal poison.

This case affects me greatly since I have an autistic son and I have significant life experience concerning my son’s lived reality.

VICTORY STORY

Texas woman chooses APR after having an out-of-state abortion

The Fort Worth Pregnancy Center received a call last year from a former client requesting help in reversing her abortion pill procedure. Today, that client has a healthy one-year-old son.

“She reached out to an abortion fund who paid for her to get an abortion,” said Jamie Bryant, development director for the Fort Worth Pregnancy Center. “This was after the heartbeat bill in Texas so she couldn’t get an abortion in Texas.

“They paid for her flight, her hotel, and all of her abortion pill expenses,” Bryant said.
