“If 10% of my surgeries resulted in serious injuries, my license as a surgeon would be rescinded.” This comment was made by Dr. Brick Lantz during a recent review of a new report exposing the physical harm abortion pills cause women.
The report was done by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), they analyzed 865,727 records from a private health insurance registry, looking at the medical outcomes of women who obtained chemical abortions between 2017 and 2023. What their analysis proves is that the abortion drug manufacturer, Danco Laboratories, distributing mifepristone under the brand name Mifeprex, is lying on their website when they claim that the drug is safe and effective.
Well actually, they are only half lying, the drug is effective in killing the pre-born baby in the womb, but it is definitely not safe for the women taking it. Danco claims that less than 0.5% of women experience a serious adverse reaction but a deep-dive into the data reveals that actually 10.93% of women who used the abortion drug mifepristone experienced serious complications within 45 days.
According to the Guttmacher Institute website, there were approximately 642,700 abortion pill pregnancy terminations, which accounts for about 63% of all abortion in the United States in 2023. When you use the EPPC findings of 10.93% women injured, that equates to 70,247 women in 2023 alone, experiencing one or more of the complications noted above. More than 70, 000 in one year!
If this drug was anything other than an abortion drug, the FDA would have removed it from consumer use.
While skeptics might want to question the results of the EPPC analysis, a similar study released by the Foundation for the Restoration of America (FFROA) on April 25 also found that more than 10% of women who underwent a mifepristone abortion “experience a serious adverse event.”
Anglicans For Life encourages you to do 3 things with this information; 1) share it everywhere because we must discourage women from seeing the abortion pill as an easy way to end an unplanned pregnancy. 2) send letters to the new FDA Commissioner, Marty Makary asking him to remove FDA approval of Mifepristone. 3) write to your senator and congressman asking them to call for the removal of Mifepristone from the prescription drug list covered by Medicaid.
I am glad that Dr. Lantz knows that safe health outcomes are critical to keeping his surgical license, I just wish someone would hold the FDA and Danco Laboratories accountable for their malpractice at the cost of women’s health.
