The originator of the two-step medication abortion, Etienne-Emile Baulieu, a biochemist and endocrinologist stressed the dangers of ingesting the deadly combination of drugs without a prior medical examination. However, last year, the FDA began allowing distribution by online and retail pharmacies without this vital safety requirement in place.
As a result, the abortion industry has increased its promotion and distribution of dangerous do-it-yourself abortion pills. Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the push has become even more evident. In the industry’s usual efforts to manipulate women with a message of self-empowerment, the profiteers use the term “self-managed abortion.” Abortion pills create a fast and easy avenue of profit for those who distribute them. Operation Rescue has discovered in investigative phone calls that most clinics charge the same amount for abortion pills and surgical abortions.
Inconsistent Instructions
The Mayo Clinic states that medication abortions should not be taken after 7-9 weeks of pregnancy, while the The World Health Organization’s (WHO) deadline is 12 weeks. However, the FDA has approved the pill for up to 70 days gestation (10 weeks). If the medical experts cannot come to an agreement on a gestational cut-off, why would a desperate mother take any of those proposed deadlines seriously?
What happens when a pregnant woman takes the pills far beyond any of these prescribed deadlines? And who is to ensure she isn’t coerced, forced, or tricked into taking the pills? What if she has an ectopic pregnancy? |
