Today, bad actors inside the industry tell abortion clients not to call them, but to instead present to emergency rooms for abortion pill aftercare. Some even <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/bad-actors-conceal-abortion-pill-complications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suggest that clients lie<\/a> about abortion pill complications and claim they are experiencing a <em>natural miscarriage<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While it is one thing to suggest that abortion clients lie, ANSIRH-affiliated abortionist Daniel Grossman previously <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/grossman-er-hide-abortion-pill-complications-roe\/\">suggested<\/a> that medical personnel at emergency rooms should also <em>falsify medical documents to cover up abortion pill complications<\/em>. Grossman has led the charge to expand use of the abortion pill, and last year he even <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/texas-abortionist-radicalized-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reiterated<\/a> his <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/grossman-er-hide-abortion-pill-complications-roe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous position<\/a>\u00a0that emergency room doctors should avoid documenting abortion pill complications to hide information from law enforcement in a post-<em>Roe<\/em> environment.<\/p>\n<p><em>This unethical cover-up would likely diminish any chance that accurate numbers on abortion pill complications\/deaths would be reported to authorities.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even the FDA appears to be collaborating with this idea by eliminating specific text (see images below) from the black box warning and the patient counseling section of the abortion pill\u2019s <a

abortions took place (63% of all abortions) in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing Kitchener&#8217;s own percentages would indicate that between 8,355 to 51,416 women may have sought emergency care after taking

And they could hold accountable those shipping abortion pills across the country knowing women likely have no follow-up care other than emergency rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Supreme Court could rule on behalf of the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/eugenics-arguments-abortion-pill-supreme-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine<\/a> and roll back safety regulations on the abortion pill to pre-2016, when prescribers were required to only dispense the drug after an in-person visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/ARQQhk1\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children.
