Mifepristone

“ProPublica claims that only 32 patients have died since 2002 as a result of the abortion pill and lists only 11 sepsis cases. Yet nearly 20 percent of women taking medical abortion drugs experience complications, according to reliable data out of Europe. Furthermore, women who die as a result of abortion pill complications are often miscoded as non-abortion-related deaths. Women who take mifepristone to induce abortions are at an elevated risk of developing sepsis. There simply isn’t any reliable data on the safety of mifepristone use in America. According to Food and Drug Administration policy, only deaths are reported from the taking of mifepristone. Further, providers are not required to report any adverse events from abortion pill use. Prescribing physicians are ignorant by design of the complications suffered by their patients—abortion providers tell women to seek emergency room care, severing the doctor-patient relationship and any meaningful follow-up.” – Rachel Roth Aldhizer
