The actual number of abortion pill complications and the deaths preborn children from the abortion pill may never be fully known, due to underreporting. But some women have told their stories<\/a> about their horrific and heartbreaking experiences. In addition, women have spoken out as part of the Silent No More Awareness<\/a> campaign, suggesting a reality far removed from popular narratives of the abortion pill.<\/p>\n

Those popular narratives from the abortion industry and the media claim the abortion pill<\/a> is a \u2018safe and effective way to end an early pregnancy.\u2019 The euphemisms of \u2018abortion\u2019 and \u2018pregnancy\u2019 mask the fact that a human being is killed in a chemical abortion, and the severe risks to women are understated by abortion pill providers, including Planned Parenthood.\u00a0A new study<\/a> from\u00a0the Ethics and Public Policy Center<\/a> (EPPC), asserts that “serious adverse events” from the abortion pill mifepristone occur at a rate approximately 22 times higher<\/em><\/strong> than the rate reported on the Food and Drug Administration\u2019s (FDA) label for the drug.<\/p>\n

Patricia<\/strong><\/a> suffered “instant regret” and “excruciating pain”:<\/p>\n

On February 20th, 2015, at 8.3 weeks, I took the abortion pill at a nearby clinic. I didn\u2019t think much else of it, until it was time to take the four following pills the next day. That’s when the excruciating pain began. There were unbearable cramps, and something that felt as if they were contractions. That went on for hours until I felt a large lump leave me. Seconds later, I cried. I cried and couldn’t stop. I instantly regretted what I had just done, but I decided to put on a brave face because I \u2018did the right thing for me’.<\/em><\/p>\n

Melody<\/strong><\/a> said,\u00a0\u201cI took the abortion pill at home, alone, and it was the most painful and scary event I have ever experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gwen<\/strong><\/a> told everyone she’d had a miscarriage, and she was in disbelief over her own actions:<\/p>\n

I went to the abortion clinic for the first time. I turned back and returned home without taking the pill. A week later, I returned to the clinic and took the pill. I don’t know what got into me; it was like I had no conscience. I didn’t consider I was carrying life inside me.<\/em><\/p>\n

After taking the first pill, I felt relieved that I was no longer pregnant. After about 24 hours, it all set in. I felt my baby’s life leave me. I had believed that it was just a blob of tissue yet to become a life. But at that moment when the pill killed my baby, I felt life leave me. I felt empty and immediately I knew I had committed the unthinkable. <\/em><\/p>\n

I had killed my own baby, my blood. My baby had given me so much purpose for the few weeks I was pregnant, and I was quick to end his\/her life. I called the doctor at Marie Stopes and asked if I could change my mind. He said my baby had already died, and I had to take the second pill to expel the embryo. To me, it was more than an embryo, yet I was so quick to end a life.<\/em><\/p>\n

I told my boyfriend that I no longer felt pregnant, and we should go to hospital, after I took the second abortion pill. I had no choice but to take the second pill as I knew I had already murdered my baby. He was alarmed and took me to hospital when I started bleeding.<\/em><\/p>\n

Everyone at the hospital and my friends believed I had a miscarriage, only my sister knew I had an abortion, which I regret to this moment. I just couldn’t let people know I had ended the pregnancy.\u00a0 They were all excited about it, and I also didn’t believe what I had just done…<\/em><\/p>\n

I hope His Grace will be sufficient enough for me because I am undeserving after ending a life. ABORTION IS MURDER, don’t do it, you will regret it. I am silent no more about my abortion. I regret my abortion, and I will never take a life again.<\/em><\/p>\n
