    FDA Confirms Dangerous Mifeprex Abortion Pill Has Killed 24 Women, Injured Thousands
    By Patrina Mosley

    Patrina Mosley is the Director of Life, Culture and Women's Advocacy at Family Research Council. This article appeared on LifeNews.com on April 18, 2019.

    The FDA has updated their adverse events reports on Mifeprex, also known as “the abortion pill,” with two additional deaths since December 2018.

    The previous report released last year on adverse events of the abortion regimen from 2000-2017 showed 22 deaths. Now, an update to the FDA’s Questions and Answers on Mifeprex states that “As of December 31, 2018, there were reports of 24 deaths of women associated with Mifeprex since the product was approved in September 2000, including two cases of ectopic pregnancy resulting in death; and several cases of severe systemic infection (also called sepsis), including some that were fatal.”

    To date, the report now documents nearly 4,200 adverse events, including deaths, hospitalizations and other serious complications.

    Just between the years 2012 to 2017, the FDA released a report detailing 1,445 more adverse events from Mifeprex. In total, the number of adverse events from 2000 to 2018 is now 24 deaths, 97 ectopic pregnancies, 1,042 hospitalizations, 599 blood transfusions, and 412 infections (including 69 severe infections), with a total of 4,195 adverse events reported.

    And it is nearly always fatal to the baby.

    Why are you even seemingly trying to defend the Abortion Pill, Simplicio? It, and the Morning After Pill are designed to make abortion so convenient that women will just use them routinely to end pregnancies where they might have second thoughts if they had to undergo a surgical solution. Chemical abortion alternatives encourage more abortions.

      Wasn't a pill made recently to reverse the effects of chemically induced abortion? I would not call that silence on this issue.

        Here's my comment on it:

        Something that kills an innocent human being is per definition not safe, so calling chemical abortions "safe" is oxymoronic to the extreme.

            As near as I can tell abortions almost always kill the fetus, that is the intended goal of an abortion after all.

              But that isn't the sort of answer that sport wants.

                One in three women will have an abortion in their lifetime. They own the pregnancy and should be free to terminate it within reasonable limits. Resistance is harmful to women, and futile.

                    Children?

                    In other words, your pro-life crusade is inconsistent garbage.

                          But what about the personhood fairy that sprinkles the newborn with fairy dust? That's how the fetus turns from an inanimate blob into a cute baby, right?

                            MM’s thesis is that one third of women kill their children. Why would anyone be so insulting when it is clearly not true?

                              Those women are heartbroken when they realize the truth. And I don't think the statistic is that high. What about those who sadly have several abortions?

                                Another Christian (note for Sparko: not "a Christian") noted that St Thomas Aquinas argued that prostitution need not be vigorously prosecuted.

                                Surgical abortions are vigorously opposed, when sanitary surgical practices were adopted, the safety of all surgical or invasive procedures increased. This preceded the lessening abhorrence to abortion in society. Some 20,000 women order online abortion pills, reducing the risks posed by any invasive surgical intervention.

                                We allow abortions, by law, today. Seems like the argument of St Thomas applies here.
