Woman describes harrowing abortion pill experience: ‘I nearly died’
Live Action News ^ | February 25, 2025 | Bridget Sielicki

In a recent Live Action video, a young woman recounts the extreme physical trauma she experienced after the abortion pill caused her to go into septic shock.

Shanyce explained she was a college student when she found out she was pregnant. Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, she was unsure what to do. She looked to her boyfriend at the time for support, only to have him “peer pressure” her into an abortion. Though she was hesitant, she agreed to go through with the procedure, describing her emotions at the time as anxious, lost, confused, and scared.

After taking the first drug in the abortion pill regimen, mifepristone, at a Planned Parenthood facility, Shanyce went home and started experiencing cramps so bad “it felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach.”

“It was unbearable,” she said.

Two days later, her pain hadn’t subsided. She went back to the abortion facility for a follow-up but was told that an ultrasound showed the abortion was successful.

“They kind of just brushed it off, and said, ‘These are the symptoms. You’re fine,'” Shanyce explained.

After she didn’t get better and her mother noticed that Shanyce still looked ill, her father drove her to a hospital. Another ultrasound found that the abortion had not been completed, and there were remains of her child inside of her.

From there, Shanyce’s health quickly went downhill. She had several surgeries to remove the fetal remains and then went into septic shock.

“They put me into an induced coma because they knew I wasn’t doing well,” she explained. “I kinda nearly died.”

After a week, she was transferred to another hospital while still in a coma. When she finally awoke, she found herself hooked up to multiple tubes, receiving blood transfusions, and unable to talk for at least a day.

Doctors told Shanyce the abortion pill had given her an infection behind her uterus, resulting in her needing to have a partial hysterectomy.

During her recovery, she had to relearn how to do many daily tasks, including how to walk, brush her teeth, write, chew her food, and more. In all, she was in the hospital for nearly two months.

When she finally returned home, Shanyce said she fell into a deep depression. Though at first, she wanted to hide her abortion experience, she has found healing through therapy and in sharing her story with others.

“Before, I thought it was fine. Like, ‘ok, it’s a quick pill.’ One, two, you’ll be back to your normal life in no time,” she said. “And now, I don’t recommend it to anyone.”

OMG-——i’m feeling for her-——she was badly misled.

She should have been told the side effects....
that the pill would force delivery of her baby——
and that she would experience unbeatable pain.

Not to mention what she eventually endured.

How does the evil PP get away w/ this?

Looks like she never heard of the birth Control pill. The teen pill daily cocktail is Adderall, birth control, accutane, antidepressant. All life’s problems are solved. If they can drug up a president for four years, pharmaceutical companies can do anything.Consequences are for idiots.

Yeah, she was misled. If only there was some place where one could get all sorts of information. Perhaps, some day, we will have the Internet, where one can access all sorts of documents and informative articles.....

You missed the point——

PP is the one that should be telling these women
what they’re getting into, taking their death pills.

Not the internet.

I did not miss your point. Yes, PP should be telling them, but it is also her responsibility to inform herself. It’s not as if this is something novel.
