A peer-reviewed study by Charlotte Lozier Institute reviewed nearly 30,000 visits to emergency rooms by women who had undergone either a surgical or chemical abortion and found that 80% of these visits were falsely recorded as miscarriages.
Those who recommend chemical abortions routinely advise women who require immediate medical assistance to lie at the emergency room. The fear is that if the true cause of the emergency were reported it would negatively impact the sale of these abortion pills. In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists usually advise medical personnel to not ask women if their urgent health condition is the result of chemical abortion on the grounds that the woman could face prosecution in some states.
Needing immediate medical care after a chemical abortion occurs about 9% of the time. A common problem is that not all parts of the baby and placenta are successfully expelled from the pregnant woman's body. These parts need additional medical intervention to prevent potentially life-threating infections. Dr. James Studnicki, one of the study's authors, called the deception "a public health crisis."
Planned Parenthood spokesperson Adora Slaughter characterized the study and its conclusions as "exaggerated. Over 90% of chemical abortions go as promised. The fetus is killed and ejected from the pregnant person's body. As far as medical interventions go, a 90% success rate is far above average. By way of contrast, the highly touted and very expensive 'warp speed' covid vaccines have a 90% failure rate. Yet, these drugs are still available and widely recommended by numerous public health experts."
