(Washington Examiner<\/a>)\u00a0Infertility and the difficulties of carrying children to term have grieved women for centuries, and medical science has tried to address those issues. But if the abortion industry has anything to say about it, women today will continue to be at risk of long-term heartbreak.<\/p>\n

My husband and I are polar opposites when it comes to blood. Like 15%<\/u><\/a> of the population, I am Rh negative, whereas he is Rh positive. The first child from that combination is usually fine, but then antibodies build up when blood comes in contact, such as during birth, accident, or abortion. These antibodies can cause later pregnancies to end in tragedy, when the mother\u2019s own antibodies attack<\/u><\/a> the blood cells of children in her womb, often causing death.<\/p>\n

There is a solution — injections of Rh immunoglobulin<\/u><\/a>, which stop the mother\u2019s body from making those antibodies. Those shots have saved me from tremendous heartbreak. But timing is everything. They must be administered during pregnancy and right after delivery or following the end of a pregnancy. Failure to give these injections promptly to an Rh-negative woman would be malpractice, because of the implications<\/u><\/a> for every future child and her own health.<\/p>\n

Yet the abortion industry<\/u><\/a> and abortion advocates are pushing for no-test abortions<\/u><\/a> and an end to best practices for Rh-negative women. This is the industry’s way of selling chemical abortion pills with much less effort on its part and without examinations that might preserve a woman\u2019s life and future.<\/p>\n

Abortion Pill Terminology<\/p><\/div>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union just filed a lawsuit<\/u><\/a> against the Food and Drug Administration, attempting to force them to get rid of health and safety standards for chemical abortion pills during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Women have died<\/u><\/a> when given chemical abortion drugs late in pregnancy or when experiencing an ectopic pregnancy. To protect women from complications, the FDA has health and safety standards<\/u><\/a> called REMs that require a physical examination. Getting a history and an ultrasound, along with a blood test to determine things such as Rh-negative status, are life-saving protocols. Treating Rh-negative women with an injection that costs approximately $100<\/u><\/a> will preserve their ability to have future children.<\/p>\n
