New study: Mifepristone far more dangerous than advertised: America’s primary abortion pill causes serious complications for 1 out of 10 women

from The Daily Article · host The Denison Forum

Mifepristone, one of two pills used in facilitating chemical abortions, gained FDA approval twenty-five years ago after a study of just under thirty-one thousand participants showed that less than .5 percent experienced serious adverse reactions. That statistic has since been cited to defend not only the use of the pill but also the removal of almost every safeguard that was put in place when it was first introduced to the public. A recent analysis by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) of more than 865,000 cases since 2017 has shown that serious complications are twenty-two times more likely to occur than either the FDA or the pill’s makers have claimed.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Ryan Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
