Pro-choice advocates often claim that legal abortion is necessary in order to negate the dangers of <\/span>illegal abortions<\/span><\/a>. But the propaganda surrounding the annual number of abortion-related deaths prior to <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i> been thoroughly debunked, and the <\/span>complications<\/span><\/a> tied to lawful, induced abortions have not made women safer. Abortion advocacy groups often fight attempts to restrict it in any way, sharing horror stories of dangerous, back-alley abortions to ensure no <\/span>common-sense regulations<\/span><\/a> can be put into place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a move that could have radical implications for women\u2019s health and safety, the <\/span>abortion industry<\/span><\/a> has begun to push for reduced restrictions on the abortion pill. This would allow the industry to sell women chemical abortions without physical exams or testing. As pro-abortion groups continue to advance their political agenda, women should know about the dangers of the abortion pill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pill Starves a Preborn Child to Death\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the abortion pill (a non-surgical<\/a> type of abortion)\u00a0for up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. With this abortion, a woman takes two different drugs. The first is m<\/span>ifepristone (RU-486), which works to block a hormone known as progesterone. The lack of progesterone then causes the woman’s uterine lining to break down, depriving the preborn baby of nourishment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the child has been cut off from the supply of nutrients, the baby dies inside the mother\u2019s womb. About 24 to 48 hours later, a woman ingests the second drug, misoprostol, which causes contractions to expel the dead child from the womb.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
