A woman who claims she was given the abortion pill (mifepristone) after experiencing a miscarriage has taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share her story, with others quickly chiming in to say they, too, had undergone similar horrors.<\/p>\n

The woman, Lizzie, claimed<\/a> that she was prescribed mifepristone for the purpose of attempting to expel the body of her deceased preborn child after having a miscarriage. “I had no idea what I was in for, it wasn\u2019t explained to me,” she wrote, adding, “I didn\u2019t realize how bad it would hurt and how scary it would be.” She shared her story in response to a tweet from Planned Parenthood urging the abortion pill to be widely and easily available.<\/p>\n

What Lizzie described about experiencing labor implies that she may have also received a second drug: misoprostol. When someone undergoes a chemical abortion, they are given two drugs \u2014 mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which effectively starves the preborn baby of the oxygen and nutrients she needs to survive. Typically one to two days later, the woman takes misoprostol, which induces contractions, leading to the expulsion of the child’s body.<\/p>\n

“I continued to bleed uncontrollably for days and ended up losing consciousness in the bathroom due to blood loss,” Lizzie said. “Thank God my husband got me into the car and drove me the 45 min it takes to get to the emergency room where he said I was I was barely conscious , vomiting and unable to breathe properly, among other things I will not mention.”<\/p>\n

In the emergency room, doctors realized Lizzie had a retained placenta, which was causing the extreme hemorrhaging \u2014 and she was told that they explained this was a common occurrence with the abortion pill. “[M]y body would have continued to bleed… until I was unalive, had I not been taken to the hospital,” she said. “So on top of that trauma of seeing what I saw, I was literally dying from this medication.”<\/p>\n
