At least 22 women have died after taking the abortion pill regimen, RU-486, and many others have experienced serious complications, according to updated data from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While abortion — and specifically, medication abortion — is sold to women as “safe,” there can be serious and life threatening complications from the abortion pill, as noted by the pills’ manufacturer, Danco. Although Danco is required to report any death associated with Mifeprex, women experiencing complications, various factors — such as not returning to the abortion provider or not reporting use of the drug to emergency personnel — may cause these numbers to seem lower than they actually are.
The abortion lobby is pushing for easy access to the abortion pill on college campuses and some are even calling for it to be approved for home use. No doubt, we may never know how many women suffer serious complications or succumb to death from the abortion pill if this happens. Clearly, according to its manufacturer, there are serious risks:
The abortion inducing regimen is made up of two pills, Mifeprex (mifepristone) and misoprostol, which, according to the FDA, will end “an early pregnancy (70 days or less since the first day of the last menstrual period).” Of course, “the pregnancy” is a term for ending the life of a preborn child in the womb. But, sometimes these chemicals also claim the lives of their mothers. The abortion is explained by Dr. Anthony Levatino in the video below:

Monte Patterson, the father of Holly Patterson, attempted to convey the dangers of the abortion pill before a House committee in 2006, when far fewer women had died. Holding a picture of his daughter, Monte described to that committee the tragic way Holly died after being given the drug at Planned Parenthood.

“I wanted to show you a picture of my daughter so at least you see what I have lost… Holly, who died at 18, and the other women who have died or have been seriously hurt by taking the RU-486 medical abortion drug regimen as a solution to their unplanned pregnancy, ” Mr. Patterson said.
He told the committee:
"Twelve days after Holly’s 18th birthday, on September 10, 2003, she walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic to be administered an RU-486 medical abortion regimen. By the 4th day, she was admitted to the emergency room…. She complained of bleeding, cramping, constipation, and pain, but subsequently, she was sent home. Seven days after taking RU-486, Holly returned to the same emergency room hospital complaining of weakness, vomiting, abdominal pain.
Hours later, I was called to the hospital, where I found her surrounded by doctors and nurses, barely conscious and struggling to breathe. Holly was so weak she could barely hold onto my hand…. I watched Holly succumb to a massive bacterial infection as a result of a drug-induced abortion with RU-486…."
In 2005, the journal Contraception published a letter from Dr. Philip Darney, who claimed the death rate from medication abortion among Planned Parenthood patients, at that time, was “1.5 per 100,000 compared to a US rate of .5 for early surgical abortion.” Darney is no pro-lifer, and has served on the boards of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood’s former research arm.

In his letter, Darney pointed out that the US death rate using the abortion pill was higher than in Europe, possibly because, in the states, “US Physicians do not follow the FDA approves instructions for using both drugs…. Instead, they rely on evidence based protocols….”
Currently, according to the FDA, as of December 31, 2017, there have been reports of 22 deaths associated with the abortion pill regimen and several cases of severe systemic infection (also called sepsis), including some that were fatal. Image: RU486 abortion pill deaths updated 2017

* Hospitalized, excluding deaths – 768 (average 64/yr) * Experienced blood loss requiring transfusions – 416 (average 35/yr)
* Infections – 308 (average 26/yr)

Within the past five years (between 2012 and 2017) complication reports from the abortion pill have remained steady:
Cases with any adverse event – 1445 (average 289/yr) Hospitalized, excluding deaths – 273 (average 55/yr) Experienced blood loss requiring transfusions – 182 (average 36/yr) Infections – 103 (average 21/yr)
In one state alone — Ohio — complications from the abortion pill have increased an astronomical 87 percent since 2014.
Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry present abortion as “safe and simple,” but one look at forms they require women to sign reveals the real truth. Missed abortion, blood clots, infection and even death are among the risks associated with medication abortion.

Welp
” At least 22 women have died after taking the abortion pill regimen, RU-486, “
Well cry me a river ….. all day long!
Call me an ambulance chasing lawyer all day long.
No really those guys need to step up to the plate and take this on!
Odd the FDA can approve a pill to rid a womans body of a baby. Of course there will be complications.The god of Mollech is strong in this generation.
Well gee, it’s almost like a pill meant to kill people... WILL KILL PEOPLE!
ASTONISHING!
Ain’t irony wonderful?
He is horrified at what his daughter went through before her death. Very sad that Mr. Patterson doesnt feel grief and loss over his grand child that was also murdered in this process.
He probably did not know why she was in the hospital when he saw her or what she had done. Odds are he did not know till after the fact. Just my guess anyway, as most women don’t tell when they do something like this.
Twenty two women died taking an abortion pill and it’s still available?
I’m sure a lot of people think it’s no big deal for some unknown woman to die in the process of an abortion. Some may even think it’s karma or retroactive abortion on the woman.
Just be aware this might be your daughter, grand-daughter, niece, or someone you care about next time.
I’m definitely NOT pro-abortion but I am willing to compromise on when that fetus becomes a living human person. That’s not the debate to have here though.
This is a surprise? Healthy clean eating vegans taking poison. Die from it. Sad. Blame the abortion lobby.
It has caused far more deaths than that.
Think of all the babies murdered with this evil thing.
It is a pill meant to kill living human beings. It isn’t surprising that sometimes it kills the mother as well.
Uh, yeah. Not even in aspirin territory, and that is not going away soon either.
Odd how the MSM NEVER covers these deaths...
RU-486? I’am now
But he knows now. Willful ignorance is a root pillar of liberal thought.
Man this $h!t makes my blood boil! Why I rarely comment on your posts anymore, occasionally I must vent. My one and only Freeper “time out” was centered around this issue so to say I am passionate about it would be a gross understatement.
Seems they’re missing some elephants in the room.
The shock is that the number is so low.
I’ll bet it’s way higher, in reality.
"Here ladies, get rid of that problem by popping these two pills."
I can't remember if I ever heard a disclaimer on the ad as in "this may cause death."
