What is clear is that while this will save money for abortionists, it could be very costly for the woman undergoing the abortion.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/obgyn-no-test-abortion-pill-experiments-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Ingrid Skop<\/a>, a Texas OB-GYN,\u00a0&#8220;Evaluation of Rh status and provision of Rhogam, if indicated, has long been the standard of care for early pregnancy loss, including elective induced abortion. This action will prevent a mother from mounting an immune response to her future unborn children. If Rhogam is\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0given and isoimmunization occurs, 14% of untreated infants will be stillborn and half will suffer neonatal death or brain injury.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, failing to rule out dangerous ectopic pregnancies can also be a savings to abortion businesses, but, according to Dr. Skop,\u00a0&#8220;Ruling out pregnancy outside of the uterus through physical exam and <a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/no-test-chemical-abortion-provision-can-it-be-justified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ultrasound<\/a> is critically important, because mifepristone has no effect on such a pregnancy, which can rupture, causing catastrophic bleeding or death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Skop added, &#8220;Half of women with ectopic pregnancies have no prior risk factors. A woman who experiences ectopic warning symptoms, such as pain or bleeding, while undergoing a chemical abortion may be less likely to report them, because she has been warned to expect such symptoms as a sign that the abortion drugs are working.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, while abortion profiteers are increasing the cost of the abortion pill regimen, they are eliminating important testing and increasing their clients&#8217; risk of complications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eliminating the in-person requirement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For years, the abortion industry pushed to eliminate the in-person requirement for dispensing the abortion pill by conducting a Trojan horse <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/telabortion-abortion-pill-trial-skirts-fda-regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TelAbortion clinical trial<\/a> which ultimately concluded that dispensing the abortion pill by mail was safe.<\/p>\n<p>This led to a December 2021 decision from Biden&#8217;s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to allow the abortion pill to be shipped through the mail, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/fda-permanently-loosens-abortion-pill-safety-measure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weakening<\/a> FDA safety requirements (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/drugsatfda_docs\/rems\/Mifepristone_2019_04_11_REMS_Document.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REMS<\/a>), which the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/drug-safety-and-availability\/risk-evaluation-and-mitigation-strategies-rems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FDA<\/a>\u00a0puts in place \u201cfor certain medications with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-pill-dangerous-safety-requirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">serious safety concerns<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While eliminating in-person requirements potentially reduces costs to abortion profiteers, the cost of the abortion pill regimen has skyrocketed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eliminating the need for disposal of aborted human remains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, women are no longer required to take abortion pills in front of clinicians at a facility, likely taking the deadly drugs at home.\u00a0That means that the cost for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-fda-flushed-abortion-pill-environment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the disposal of fetal remains<\/a>\u00a0is eliminated for each abortion pill procedure, as women are instructed to simply <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-fda-flushed-abortion-pill-environment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flush<\/a> their aborted babies down the toilet and into the sewer system.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_216791\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-216791\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-216791\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GettyImages-907715580-toilet-baby-born.jpg\" alt=\"baby born in toilet, newborn\" width=\"660\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GettyImages-907715580-toilet-baby-born.jpg 1195w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GettyImages-907715580-toilet-baby-born-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GettyImages-907715580-toilet-baby-born-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GettyImages-907715580-toilet-baby-born-700x381.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GettyImages-907715580-toilet-baby-born-500x272.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-216791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getty Images<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This was a huge cost saver to the abortion industry which had already been <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-groups-plan-increase-demand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategizing<\/a> on the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/garbage-disposal-incinerator-abortion-providers-debate-dispose-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increased cost<\/a> of disposing of aborted human remains.
