(NRL News Today<\/a>)\u00a0For literally decades, NRL News Today<\/em> has closely tracked the campaign of pro-abortionists to \u201cincrease access\u201d by shamelessly promoting RU-486\/chemical abortions, now dressed up as \u201cmedical abortions.\u201d Somewhere in the neighborhood of 33% to 40% of all abortions are now chemically-induced.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve quoted from the FDA numerous times and although the data is woefully dated and incomplete about the medical fallout from the two-drug abortion technique, we know that nearly two dozen women are known to have died and that thousands of women suffered what are euphemistically labeled \u201cadverse events.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the much under-rated components of the pro-life movie \u201cUnplanned\u201d is the scene in which a woman is expelling her dead baby. There is blood everywhere and the woman suffers terrible pain.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not only pro-lifers who write about the agony of \u201cmedication\u201d (or \u201cmedical\u201d) abortions. So, too, do supporters who are honest about the \u201cside effects.\u201d<\/p>\n

For example, I will never <\/strong>forget the abortion accounts of 26 women that appeared in New York<\/em> magazine. The intent, obviously, was by \u201ctelling my abortion story,\u201d to \u201cdestigmatize\u201d abortion.<\/p>\n

In fact, to the disinterested third party, most of these women\u2019s accounts were depressing beyond words and saturated in pain, physical, psychology, and (dare I say?) spiritual.<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0\u2018I thought I was dying\u2019: 3 women share their abortion pill horror stories<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One woman talked about how \u201cOn a scale of one to ten, the pain was an eight.\u201d Another spoke of how \u201cWhen I took off my jeans, blood covered my thighs. I couldn\u2019t let the sheets get bloody, so I wrapped towels around me and stayed in bed, with incredibly painful cramping.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then there was the post written by a British woman, Rose Stokes, which ran under the headline, \u201cWhat Happens When an Abortion Doesn\u2019t Fully Work: I had an incomplete abortion last year. This is what I wish I\u2019d known about them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stokes tells us she wanted an abortion and that \u201cmy reasons for doing so are deeply personal reasons painful, and nobody\u2019s business but mine.\u201d When a woman from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) told her about chemical [\u201cmedical\u201d] abortions, once she was heard, \u201cWell, one you take a pill and the other is more invasive,\u201d Stokes was in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have much time to go into greater detail\u2014and to be honest didn\u2019t want to\u2014so I went for the medical abortion, assuming it would be simpler.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then the ordeal began. After taking the second of the two drugs, Stokes tells us, \u201cIt felt like an act of self-violence. I remember walking back out into the waiting room and folding into my mom\u2019s arms\u2014crying with a ferocity I hadn\u2019t experienced since childhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BPAS woman consoles her and tells Stokes the \u201cmiscarriage\u201d could happen any time up until two weeks. But\u2026<\/p>\n

Around four hours later once we\u2019d returned to the apartment, I felt an unfamiliar pain stir deep inside me, somewhere in between my lower spine and belly button. Within an hour, I had gone into full labor\u2014I\u2019ll spare you a long description, but: contractions, vomiting, bleeding, crying, shi\u2013ing. It went on for hours. My mom was incredible; I was traumatized. Somehow it made us closer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Within 12 hours, the contractions were fewer, and Stokes thought the worst was over. A week later, however, she goes to a doctor who tells Stokes her blood pressure \u201cis dangerously low\u201d and she\u2019s off to the hospital where she learns she has an \u201cincomplete abortion\u201d\u2014the baby\u2019s dead body has not been expelled.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurgery was scheduled for three days later to remove the \u2018remaining products,\u2019 and I was signed off work for another week,\u201d Stokes writes. \u201cThe whole ordeal left me physically and emotionally wrung out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stokes gives us other examples of chemical abortions \u201cgone wrong,\u201d but of course comes to the correct conclusion: no regrets, only a desire that she could have been \u201cfully informed and prepared for what could happen to my body, rather than finding out during the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0\u2018Humiliating and terrifying\u2019: Pro-abortion news site shares abortion pill horror stories<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Really? That\u2019s the only \u201clesson\u201d she took away? Not that her chemical abortion, which was supposed to resemble a \u201cheavy period,\u201d was painful, dragged out, and potentially very dangerous to her?<\/p>\n

There evidently was never any hesitation, so that after taking the first abortifacient pill (mifepristone), Stokes would never have rethought her decision and chose not to take the second pill (misoprostol).<\/p>\n

That is a real tragedy, for not only could she have spared herself from an awful ordeal, Stokes might have saved the life of her defenseless unborn baby.<\/p>\n

I once asked Dr. Randall K. O\u2019Bannon, NRLC Director of Education & Research, about the Abortion Industry\u2019s investment in chemical abortions and its assurance that \u201cthese abortions are simple and totally safe.\u201d He told me:<\/p>\n

They rarely share the stories of hundreds of women who have been hospitalized or the two dozen who have died after taking these dangerous abortifacients.<\/em><\/p>\n

The abortion industry has been trying to cope with reduced demand and falling revenues by cutting facility, equipment and salary costs by going to webcam abortions where an abortionist never, ever actually physically examines a woman and only monitors her from afar.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is an irresponsible and dangerous medical abandonment of the woman at precisely the time when her risk is most serious.<\/em><\/p>\n
