If this bias weren&#8217;t concerning enough, another concern is that study researchers based their results on only a small percentage of pharmacists who participated in the training.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some more problems with this study:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Study&#8217;s sponsor deeply tied to and invested in abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Daniel Grossman, an abortionist and recent National Abortion Federation (NAF) board member who served as a consultant to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Center for Reproductive Rights (as well as leadership in other pro-abortion groups), was the sponsor for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT03320057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a>, &#8220;Medication for Pharmacy Dispensing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In June of 2021, Grossman and\u00a0his colleagues (three of whom were\u00a0consultants for Danco, Inc. \u2014 the manufacturer of Mifeprex \u2014 and the generic manufacturer GenBioPro),\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1544319121002855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published data from the survey<\/a>\u00a0on \u201cpharmacists\u2019 knowledge, perceptions, and experiences dispensing mifepristone\u201d from six clinical sites in California and in Washington state.<\/p>\n<p>As Live Action News <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/biden-administration-forcing-pharmacies-dispense-abortion-pill-fda-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously<\/a> reported, those results revealed a lack of understanding among pharmacists about risks associated with the abortion drug. The report showed that barely half of pharmacists (51%) understood the percentage of patients requiring blood transfusions, 53% understood the risks of taking mifepristone, 53% understood minor consent laws for abortion. Just one-third (30%) understood adverse effects such as fever and chills.<\/p>\n<p>A second report, &#8220;&#8216;<span class=\"title-text\">No Big Deal&#8217;: A Qualitative Study of Pharmacists\u2019 Perspectives on Dispensing Mifepristone for Medication Abortion,&#8221; utilizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT03320057?cond=pharmacy%2C+mifepristone&amp;draw=2&amp;rank=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">same study<\/a>, was<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1049386722000755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published<\/a>\u00a0in July of 2022. It concluded that &#8220;most pharmacists supported dispensing mifepristone.&#8221;\u00a0In this study, authors Sally Rafie and Karen Meckstroth also admitted conflicts of interest. As Live Action News previously documented, both have known\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/media-abortion-experts-payroll-manufacturers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial ties<\/a> to either Danco or GenBioPro.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Study sites pre-selected based on abortion views, and researchers all paid by abortion industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The study &#8220;recruited six pharmacy sites for the study based on their affiliation with and proximity to clinical study sites providing medication abortion. The study sites were located in urban centers in California and Washington State,&#8221; the authors claimed, adding, &#8220;Pharmacists who participated in the interviews represented five of the six study pharmacies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ProvidedDocs\/57\/NCT03320057\/Prot_006.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study sites<\/a>\u201d are hardly representative of average pharmacies. &#8220;Our sample was limited to self-selected pharmacists from clinic-affiliated and independent community pharmacies in states with permissive abortion policies,&#8221; the authors claimed. In fact, three of the six originally listed sites were University of California (UC)-connected and one was a Planned Parenthood. The University of California-San Francisco <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/paying-millions-abortion-training-taxpayers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trains abortionists<\/a>\u00a0and is heavily funded by the (Warren)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/UnzbQzvGlSU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buffett Foundation<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philanthropydaily.com\/buffett-bequests-billions-for-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">large investor<\/a> in Danco Laboratories.<\/p>\n<p>Grossman&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ProvidedDocs\/57\/NCT03320057\/Prot_006.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study protocol<\/a>\u00a0reveals that principle investigators (PI) at study sites were also closely aligned with abortion (see image below).

Majority of pharmacists who participated in training not questioned on follow-up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We invited 72\u00a0pharmacists\u00a0from 6\u00a0pharmacy\u00a0sites to participate in the study training on\u00a0mifepristone\u00a0dispensing, a baseline survey, and a baseline interview,&#8221; the authors wrote. &#8220;Among those invited, 56 participated in the training and 47 in the baseline survey. We completed baseline interviews with 22 pharmacists and follow-up interviews with 15 pharmacists, 8 of whom completed both interviews,&#8221; the authors also wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s do the math.<\/p>\n<p>Out of 72 invited, nearly one-fourth (23%) did not participate in the training for various reasons. Out of the 56 who did participate <em>only<\/em> 22 pharmacists completed the baseline survey. In other words, more than 60% of pharmacists who participated in the training (56) never <em>completed<\/em> the baseline survey (22). And, out of those, just 15 pharmacists took part in the follow-up interview. That means a <em>whopping 74% of pharmacists who participated in the training<\/em> were not even represented in the follow-up results, which\u00a0concluded that &#8220;Most pharmacists supported dispensing mifepristone and were comfortable doing so after education on mifepristone and medication abortion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the time of the baseline survey and interview, 22 pharmacists reported planning to dispense mifepristone, and 1 was unwilling owing to discomfort with abortion; this pharmacist did not participate in training,&#8221; the authors claimed. &#8220;All pharmacists interviewed at follow-up reported dispensing mifepristone except two who were willing but did not have the opportunity.&#8221; Emphasizing again that just &#8220;13 of the 15 pharmacists reported having dispensed mifepristone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, out of 72 invited and 56 who participated in the training, just 13 of those surveyed in follow-up actually dispensed the abortion drug.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Some pharmacists expressed concern with dispensing abortion pills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the study was obviously bent toward expanding abortion, it did acknowledge hesitancy among some pharmacists to dispense abortion-inducing drugs like mifepristone.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the small number (15) of pharmacists that were interviewed at follow-up and (13) who actually dispensed the drug, the authors claimed that few expressed &#8220;challenges dispensing mifepristone.&#8221; Still, some expressed concerns. &#8220;Their main concern was perceived discomfort that other pharmacists and pharmacy staff may experience, particularly in conservative areas or small pharmacies where pharmacists\u2019 refusal to dispense mifepristone could impede abortion access,&#8221; the authors wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only one pharmacist we interviewed at baseline planned to decline to dispense mifepristone, for ethical reasons. They also felt the pharmacy may not be an appropriate place to counsel patients who have &#8216;second thoughts&#8217; about having a medication abortion or who have &#8217;emotional outbursts.&#8217; This pharmacist, however, separated their personal decision not to dispense from the potential benefits on abortion access,&#8221; the authors wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some technicians and pharmacists refused to dispense the medication, so we had to have conversations with who was willing to discuss it [with the patient] and who was willing to fill [the prescription] and type it, and then get it to me so that I could verify it,&#8221; one participant told authors.<\/p>\n<p>The study stated, &#8220;Although all the follow-up interviewees said they felt comfortable dispensing mifepristone, some mentioned other pharmacists who felt less comfortable or confident in dispensing the new medication. This theme came up both at baseline as pharmacists were anticipating dispensing and at follow-up after their pharmacy had implemented the practice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The authors added, &#8220;Four interviewees from three pharmacy sites mentioned witnessing at least one fellow pharmacist who was uncomfortable with dispensing the medication for religious or moral reasons and chose not to participate in the study training. One mentioned that some pharmacy technicians, who are often the first point of contact for patients at the pharmacy and play an important role supporting prescription processing, were not comfortable participating in mifepristone dispensing owing to religious reasons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pharmacists who participated the study also claimed that &#8220;[their main challenge] was other pharmacists&#8217; or technicians&#8217; discomfort or refusal to dispense and the impact on scheduling. Although pharmacists&#8217; refusal did not impact patients\u2019 ability to obtain the medications, the pharmacy had to coordinate to have a trained, willing pharmacist ready to provide the medication,&#8221; authors wrote.<\/p>\n<p>While the study concluded there was a positive response from pharmacists at these pro-abortion sites, they also reported multiple concerns ranging from a lack of potential pharmacists willing to dispense the drug in &#8220;conservative&#8221; states, to questioning why the abortion facility didn&#8217;t dispense the drug (something that used to be required under the REMS).\u00a0Others voiced a concern about a possible lack of confidentiality for the patient, and &#8220;[a] few pharmacists expressed a concern that chain pharmacies under pressure to meet quotas might compromise pharmacist training and patient counseling to save time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
