How does the abortion pill affect a preborn baby in the event that a woman chooses to attempt to reverse the effects of the pill? Abortion advocates claim that not completing the abortion pill process and attempting to continue the pregnancy means the child could have fetal abnormalities. The abortion industry has used this scare tactic to pressure<\/a> women to continue the abortion pill process, a regimen that includes two different medications (mifepristone and misoprostol).<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood, which profits<\/a> from abortion and holds the largest market share<\/a> of the abortion industry with plans to expand abortion<\/a>,\u00a0tells<\/a> women online, “Some of the medicines used in medication abortion may cause serious birth defects if the pregnancy continues. So, in the unlikely case that it doesn’t work, you will need to have an aspiration abortion to end the pregnancy.” This claim is reiterated in additional<\/a> online publications. What Planned Parenthood isn’t telling women is that taking the first pill, mifepristone (a progesterone blocker), actually comes with no risk of birth defects, should they change their minds and seek abortion pill reversal treatments (which attempt to counteract mifepristone’s effects by administering progesterone).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In part one<\/a> of this two part series, Live Action News documented that during original clinical trials of the abortion pill, there was little data to conclude that a continued pregnancy after use of the abortion pill would lead to birth defects, especially when the woman only took the first pill of the two pill regimen. Years later, as part two will demonstrate, even more data confirms the same: the abortion industry is lying to women by claiming that not completing the abortion pill process raises their risk of fetal abnormalities.<\/em><\/p>\n
