The Truth about the Abortion Pill: You won’t find it in Planned Parenthood’s annual report. But it is worth knowing

Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report covering its “services” for the 2022–2023 fiscal year should be eye-opening for many.

The largest abortion chain in the U.S. received nearly 700 million of our tax dollars.

It committed 392,715 abortions.

And it claimed that “863,000 users accessed abortionfinder.org — an authoritative source for abortion information from Planned Parenthood and independent clinics — from Planned Parenthood’s websites between July 2022–June 2023.”  This means that Planned Parenthood helped nearly one million women find abortion services when it could not provide them.

Seventy percent of the report is focused on abortion: killing a preborn baby as “healthcare” or a “right,” along with read snide comments about shielding patients from “ads from crisis pregnancy centers and anti-abortion rights sources.”  We read the incessant lies PP tells women about abortion and their bodies.

Yet one thing was obviously missing.  This report made no mention at all of any abortion pill statistics.

The abortion pill is actually a two-pill regimen that the mother can take until her baby is 70 days gestation.  The mother will first take mifepristone, which stops the baby from growing and starves and kills him.  The second pill is misoprostol, which is taken 24–48 hours after the mifepristone; it causes bleeding and cramping and expels the dead baby.

There has been significant controversy over these pills in the last several years as their usage has increased.  And in 2021, the Biden administration reversed a Trump-era ban on mailing these pills, thus making it much easier for women to get them and kill their babies at home.  Since then, their use has skyrocketed.

The Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, found that “research from the Monthly Abortion Provision Study shows that there were approximately 642,700 medication abortions in the United States in 2023,

But are they safe for women?  No, of course not.  Aside from the mental health damage that having an abortion can inflict on a mother, there are worrisome and often detrimental side-effects from the abortion pill.  These include heavy bleeding, nausea, dizziness, chest pain, fever/chills, confusion, shortness of breath, infection, blood clots, sepsis, and much more.  Yet the worst part is that the mother must pass her dead baby’s body at home, something she does when she is most likely alone.

Former abortion worker Abby Johnson wrote of her own horror story after taking medication abortion:

Suddenly, I was blindsided by a pain in my abdomen like nothing I had ever experienced before or since. Then came the blood in a proverbial tidal wave. Somehow, I managed to hobble to the bathroom; the agony compounded with every step. The rush of blood was terrifying and unrelenting. ...  

All I could do was sit on the toilet, convinced that I was bleeding out. Intense pain would rack my stomach, and then lessen a bit. But the bleeding was constant. My misery was multiplied when the nausea hit. There I was, profusely bleeding into the toilet while vomiting into my bathroom trashcan. In between the flushing and heaving, I wept.

The dangers do not stop at these physical and psychological risks.  When a woman is mailed these pills without seeing a doctor, she forgoes the in-person exam with her doctor, who would be able to detect if she has an ectopic pregnancy.  The abortion pill does not end an ectopic pregnancy, which could lead to health complications or death for the mother should a rupture occur.

The left is a death cult and evil to the core.

It’s bloodlust and desire to kill anyone and everyone, except criminals who deserve the death penalty, knows no bounds.

Notwithstanding the greatest tragedy of abortion, the Rats’ psychological abuse of young women is a close second.

It is a horrible thing to call actions that unplan parenthood actual “Planned Parenthood.”

“The largest abortion chain in the U.S. received nearly 700 million of our tax dollars.
It committed 392,715 abortions”

That’s about $1,899 taxpayers are paying for each baby killing.

And, speaking about “HUMANE executions of hardened criminals”:
“The abortion pill is actually a two-pill regimen that the mother can take until her baby is 70 days gestation. The mother will first take mifepristone, which stops the baby from growing and starves and kills him. The second pill is misoprostol, which is taken 24–48 hours after the mifepristone; it causes bleeding and cramping and expels the dead baby.”

And they think they’re the leading edge of “civilization”....

“The largest abortion chain in the U.S. received nearly 700 million of our tax dollars. It committed 392,715 abortions.”

That's approximately $18 taxpayer money per abortion. Surely these extremely well-established businesses could make up that much of a difference from pricing or from fund-raising in their own murderous community, instead of dinging the consciences of American taxpayers who disagree with their evil work.

Who cares what they do yo the eoman that murdered her own child? Isn’t that a token of justice?

I hurt my hand knocking you out into a fatal brain aneurysm. Somebody do a study on how better to knock out unsuspecting women on the street.
