Study: Rate Of Serious Or Life-Threatening Complications After Abortion Pill Is 22 Times Higher Than FDA Claims

[excalibur]

People warned about this drug. The all laughed because they have abortion as their sacrament and don't care what the consequences may be.

​

Abortion advocates, their allies in the corporate media, and even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration insist the pill responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions is “safe and effective.” A new, wide-ranging analysis of insurance claims regarding the abortion drug regimen, however, found that the rate of life-threatening complications due to mifepristone is at least 22 times higher than what the FDA and Danco Laboratories, manufacturer of mifepristone pill Mifeprex, suggest.​

​

In the “largest known study of the abortion pill,” Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson and Director of Data Analysis Jamie Bryan Hall used purchased Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare, Department of Veterans Affairs, and private medical insurance claim data to determine that 865,727 mifepristone abortion prescriptions for 692,873 women were handed out between 2017 and 2023.​

​

Approximately 10.9 percent of those claims, or 94,605 chemical abortions, involved potentially life-threatening “serious adverse events” such as emergency room visits, hemorrhage, sepsis, infection, and/or follow-up surgeries for the women who had downed the abortion drug within the last 45 days.​

​

​

​

​

​

​

That rate, which researchers adjusted to reflect “that some women suffer from adverse events in multiple categories,” is 22 times the FDA’s <0.5 percent estimation printed on the Mifeprex label. The researchers also suggest that the 45-day timeframe they used is “conservative, as some adverse events may present later (and studies relied on by the FDA used a timeframe as long as 72 days).”​

​

“This study is the statistical equivalent of a category 5 hurricane hitting the prevailing​

narrative of the abortion industry,” Anderson said in a statement to The Federalist. “It reveals, based on real-world data, the shocking number of women who suffer serious medical consequences because of the abortion pill.”​

​

The FDA, the study notes, derived its mifepristone data from 10 clinical trials. In 2000, the agency used those trials to justify fast-tracking abortion pill approval despite ongoing concerns about dangerous and fatal complications.​

​

​

The researchers not only warned that some of those trials are outdated and were conducted outside of the U.S., but they also emphasized the trials only included a fraction — approximately 30,966 hand-selected, “prescreened,” “generally healthy women” — of the mifepristone patients reflected in the insurance data.​

The Alameda County coroner's office is investigating the case of an 18- year-old East Bay woman who died Wednesday, days after reportedly taking the abortion pill RU-486.

The victim's father told The Chronicle that his 18-year-old daughter had gotten a prescription for RU-486 at a Planned Parenthood office in Hayward on Sept. 10 to end her seven-week pregnancy.
Planned Parenthood issued a statement Thursday night that it was working with the young woman's family to look into the cause of death.

"A patient who recently sought health care services at a Planned Parenthood health care center died yesterday at a hospital in Pleasanton," said Dian Harrison, chief executive officer and president of Planned Parenthood Golden Gate. "The cause of death is unknown at this time. . . . We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. We wish them strength and support in this tough time."
Monty Patterson said his daughter Holly Patterson had visited Planned Parenthood in Hayward last Wednesday and on Saturday had begun taking drugs prescribed to end her pregnancy. Patterson's daughter lived with him in Livermore and did not tell him about the pregnancy, he said.
"On Sunday, she was crying and crying, and she told me she was having cramps, that she had a bad period," said Patterson, a home builder who said he had learned of the pregnancy only hours before his daughter died.
Between Sunday and Wednesday, Holly Patterson was bleeding severely, in acute pain and unable to walk, her father said. Her boyfriend rushed her late Sunday to Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton, Patterson said. She was given painkillers and released, Patterson said.

"She went back into the hospital in the middle of the night Wednesday, and she died at 2 p.m.," Patterson said. "The doctor told me that she hadn't aborted all of the fetus, and she had fragments left in her, and she had a massive systemic infection and went into septic shock."
The Alameda County coroner's office confirmed it was investigating Patterson's death and had not yet established the cause of death. A coroner's spokesman said Patterson had died at 1:53 p.m. at Valley Care Medical Center.
A hospital spokesperson did not return calls.
RU-486, or mifepristone, has been available in France since 1988 and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September, 2000. It was approved to end early pregnancy, of 49 days (7 weeks) or less, as an alternative to surgical abortions.


The abortion pill is considered successful when bleeding and cramping occur.
Last year, the Washington Times reported that the deaths of two women who took RU-486 had prompted the FDA to issue warning letters to physicians.
Three women who took RU-486 later suffered bleeding caused by a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, the Washington Times reported. One woman died from a hemorrhage. Two other women suffered severe systemic bacterial infections after taking the drugs, and one died.
The FDA said at the time that it was "unknown whether there is a causal relationship between any of these events and the use of RU-486."

Planned Parenthood says on its Web site that the most common side effects reported by women using RU-486 for early abortion are "similar to those of a spontaneous miscarriage: uterine cramps, bleeding, nausea and fatigue. Mifepristone is as safe as aspiration abortion; additionally, it is a completely noninvasive procedure and does not require anesthesia."
A dose of mifepristone is taken under the guidance of a clinician, according to the organization's Web site. "In a few days she uses the second medication, misoprostol. The pregnancy usually ends within four hours after taking the misoprostol. The pre-embryo or embryo and other products of conception that develop during pregnancy are passed out through the vagina. Complete abortion will occur in 96 to 97 percent of women receiving this regimen."
Statistics mean little to Monty Patterson. On Thursday night, Patterson, 49, said he was doing the unthinkable: planning his daughter's funeral.
"She was like an angel to me," he said, fighting back tears. "She was working, earning money, planning to go to college. She turned 18 on August 29. She had a new car, a red Honda Civic which now sits in the driveway."

News not at 11. Stories will be buried till end of time

Teen dies after taking abortion pill

An 18-year-old who had concealed her pregnancy died of complications after she took a RU-486, one week after she began taking the abortion pill.

www.nbcnews.com

An 18-year-old who had concealed her pregnancy died of complications after she took a RU-486, one week after she began taking the abortion pill.

Holly Patterson, who lived in the San Francisco suburb of Livermore, visited a Planned Parenthood clinic Sept. 10 to take the pill. She followed the prescribed procedure for using RU-486, taking two more pills at home in the following days.

After experiencing bleeding and cramps so severe that she was unable to walk, her boyfriend rushed her to the hospital, where she was given painkillers and sent home. She was back in the hospital a few days later and died on Sept. 17.

Her father said he had no idea that his daughter was pregnant or that she was taking abortion drugs.

“Every time I think about it, I think, ’She suffered in silence,”’ said Monty Patterson. “She felt she would disappoint everyone around her, and then she had to carry that whole load. I wish she could have told me so I could have helped her.”

Monty Patterson later learned that a massive infection caused by fragments of the fetus left inside his daughter’s uterus caused her to go into septic shock. Planned Parenthood says it is now investigating Patterson’s death.

Danco Laboratories, which makes RU-486, estimates that 150,000 women in the United States and more than 600,000 worldwide have used the pill since it was invented in France in the 1980s.

Two women who took it in the United States have died, although the FDA says it is unclear if their deaths were directly related to the pill’s use.

Patients who take RU-486 take the first pill under the care of a physician. A second medication called misoprostol, taken three days later, induces labor so the embryo can be expelled.

Planned Parenthood’s web site compares the process to having a miscarriage. In 5 to 8 percent of cases, surgery is required to stop the patient’s bleeding.

Eric Schaff, chair of the National Abortion Federation, which promotes non-surgical abortion, said aspirin causes more deaths than RU-486.

Although he said he did not blame the pill for his daughter’s death, Monty Patterson regretted that she and her boyfriend hadn’t received more information and support from family members, counselors and physicians.

“What’s disturbing is these young couples, they are relying upon what they think is good, solid info, and relying on what they think is a supportive network telling them everything is OK,” he said. “I would have said, ’You know what, they don’t know everything. Let’s get more information.”’

Two more American women have died after taking the abortion pill popularly known as RU-486, bringing to seven the number of fatalities attributed to the controversial drug since it was approved by federal regulators five years ago.

The deaths were announced Friday by the Food and Drug Administration, which did not say when the women died or where the incidents took place.

The abortion pill is akin to the jab. No matter how many people suffer and die from them, the manufacturers and those who distribute them will be legally bullet proof, with zero accountability as the media and government and Left wing legal establishment covers for them


Good luck Chuck!!

So how many actually died?

I'm sure some women are being irresponsible with RU-486, in that it was never meant to be used in the seventh week of pregnancy.

The Alameda County coroner's office is investigating the case of an 18- year-old East Bay woman who died Wednesday, days after reportedly taking the abortion pill RU-486.

The victim's father told The Chronicle that his 18-year-old daughter had gotten a prescription for RU-486 at a Planned Parenthood office in Hayward on Sept. 10 to end her seven-week pregnancy.
Planned Parenthood issued a statement Thursday night that it was working with the young woman's family to look into the cause of death.

Um, okay, why was she taking it at the seventh week, that was never what it was designed for.
