FDA shock: Abortion pill caused 22 deaths and a thousand hospitalizations

At least 22 women have died after taking the abortion pill regimen, RU-486, and many others have experienced serious complications, according to updated data from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While abortion — and specifically, medication abortion — is sold to women as “safe,” there can be serious and life threatening complications from the abortion pill, as noted by the pills’ manufacturer, Danco. Although Danco is required to report any death associated with Mifeprex, women experiencing complications, various factors — such as not returning to the abortion provider or not reporting use of the drug to emergency personnel — may cause these numbers to seem lower than they actually are.

The abortion lobby is pushing for easy access to the abortion pill on college campuses and some are even calling for it to be approved for home use. No doubt, we may never know how many women suffer serious complications or succumb to death from the abortion pill if this happens. Clearly, according to its manufacturer, there are serious risks:

The abortion inducing regimen is made up of two pills, Mifeprex (mifepristone) and misoprostol, which, according to the FDA, will end “an early pregnancy (70 days or less since the first day of the last menstrual period).” Of course, “the pregnancy” is a term for ending the life of a preborn child in the womb. But, sometimes these chemicals also claim the lives of their mothers. The abortion is explained by Dr. Anthony Levatino in the video below:

Monte Patterson, the father of Holly Patterson, attempted to convey the dangers of the abortion pill before a House committee in 2006, when far fewer women had died. Holding a picture of his daughter, Monte described to that committee the tragic way Holly died after being given the drug at Planned Parenthood.

“I wanted to show you a picture of my daughter so at least you see what I have lost… Holly, who died at 18, and the other women who have died or have been seriously hurt by taking the RU-486 medical abortion drug regimen as a solution to their unplanned pregnancy, ” Mr. Patterson said.

He told the committee:

"Twelve days after Holly’s 18th birthday, on September 10, 2003, she walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic to be administered an RU-486 medical abortion regimen. By the 4th day, she was admitted to the emergency room…. She complained of bleeding, cramping, constipation, and pain, but subsequently, she was sent home. Seven days after taking RU-486, Holly returned to the same emergency room hospital complaining of weakness, vomiting, abdominal pain.

Hours later, I was called to the hospital, where I found her surrounded by doctors and nurses, barely conscious and struggling to breathe. Holly was so weak she could barely hold onto my hand…. I watched Holly succumb to a massive bacterial infection as a result of a drug-induced abortion with RU-486…."

In 2005, the journal Contraception published a letter from Dr. Philip Darney, who claimed the death rate from medication abortion among Planned Parenthood patients, at that time, was “1.5 per 100,000 compared to a US rate of .5 for early surgical abortion.” Darney is no pro-lifer, and has served on the boards of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood’s former research arm.

In his letter, Darney pointed out that the US death rate using the abortion pill was higher than in Europe, possibly because, in the states, “US Physicians do not follow the FDA approves instructions for using both drugs…. Instead, they rely on evidence based protocols….”

Currently, according to the FDA, as of December 31, 2017, there have been reports of 22 deaths associated with the abortion pill regimen and several cases of severe systemic infection (also called sepsis), including some that were fatal. Image: RU486 abortion pill deaths updated 2017

Within the past five years (between 2012 and 2017) complication reports from the abortion pill have remained steady:

Cases with any adverse event – 1445 (average 289/yr) Hospitalized, excluding deaths – 273 (average 55/yr) Experienced blood loss requiring transfusions – 182 (average 36/yr) Infections – 103 (average 21/yr)

In one state alone — Ohio — complications from the abortion pill have increased an astronomical 87 percent since 2014.

Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry present abortion as “safe and simple,” but one look at forms they require women to sign reveals the real truth. Missed abortion, blood clots, infection and even death are among the risks associated with medication abortion.

WHY THE SHOCK?
From the very beginning when the Plan B pills hit the market there were big concerns (and warnings) about the side effects that could be felt by the patient. It was restricted to Prescription only sale BUT many physicians would not prescribe it because the liability for the side effects that might affect the patient.

So, again, WHY THE SHOCK?

[NorthMountain]

At least 22 women have died after taking the abortion pill regimen

How many babies have been killed by this particular form of poisoning their mothers?

[Theodore R.]

My compassion just ran out on seeing this article.

[DungeonMaster]

Coat hanger in a pill.

[NorthMountain]

In 2005, the journal Contraception

The very existence of such a journal is a damning indictment of our "society".

[Theodore R.]

A woman engaged in this evil is hardly deserving of the name “Mother.”

[wardaddy]

Too many key “buts” used in your post

This is precisely the forum to argue about when a life becomes a life

Using the word fetus ain’t gonna put you on the big photos section of the freeper yearbook here

[[FDA shock: Abortion pill caused 22 deaths and a thousand hospitalizations]]

Well you know- Murdering babies and snuffing out life are after all ‘for the health of the woman’. Liberals scream all day long about how republicans are ‘endangering women’ by denying them abortions- why aren’t they screaming about the makers of RU endangering th3 health of women?

[Truthoverpower]

ALL FORMS OF CONTRACEPTION ARE EVIL

[oblomov]

They are required not just to report any death, but any adverse event, including headaches, runny noses, and diagnosis of apparently unrelated diseases. Have they been fully reporting these events?

[I still care]

What a great medication and professon! Unlike vicodin, Percocet, and other meds, this one is politically correct and no matter how many people it kills you won't hear anything about it on CNN or read anything in the WaPo or NYTimes.

Any doctor that prescribes it is impervious to problems until he kills at least several hundred patients, women that complain will be told, what are you, an anti-feminist? Problems will be explained away. Abortionism - the perfect profession for serial killers - no one from the left will ever investigate it. All they kill are babies the left doesn't want. Tear the little arms and legs off, no one to care or notice, not even mom or dad.

[I still care]

I do have compassion for them. They have usually been lied to and deceived, not only by planned parenthood, the govt, the democrats, the liberals, the secular progressive culture, but the greatest liar of all, Satan, who is a roaring lion.

And they will not escape judgement. They are going into a lost eternity in the act of trying to murder their children.

[jiggyboy]

“safe, legal, and rare”

[jiggyboy]

He is horrified at what his daughter went through before her death. Very sad that Mr. Patterson doesnt feel grief and loss over his grand child that was also murdered in this process.

[MortMan]

They forgot the babies killed by the pills. 22 is orders of magnitude low.

[Boomer]

Actually it isn’t. I tried once and there’s no debating this. People are not willing to consider any deviation from their accepted belief.

Absolutely nothing is gained from debating that particular issue here. Nothing. People have their feet solidly encased in cement on this issue. The will not take a step forward, backward,or even sideways. Immovable object meet hard place.
