A new report claims that abortion pill complications are underreported, as new data show that many more women suffer side effects than previously thought.This comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told state lawmakers this week that the FDA would conduct a new review of the safety of the abortion pill protocol.
The pro-life advocacy group National Right to Life (NRTL) released a report Monday, titled “Missed, Misclassified, and Minimized: Why Abortion Pill Complications Are Underreported.”
In a statement about the report’s release, NRTL President Carol Tobias warned that “Women are being harmed, and the dangers are being ignored or hidden.”
Authored by NRTL Director of Education and Research Randall O’Bannon, the report builds on the findings of an Ethics and Public Policy Center analysis of 865,000 insurance claims that found 11% of women who took the abortion pills experienced “serious adverse events,” including hemorrhaging and infection.
