From Heart Beat International

A major new study confirms what we see every day: the abortion pill is dangerous for women.

The Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) issued a groundbreaking report today that shows more than 1 in 10 women (10.9%) experienced serious adverse events for chemical abortion—not less than 0.5% as claimed on the mifepristone label. 

That’s 22 times higher than the rate reported in clinical trials cited by the FDA.

These events include serious complications like sepsis, hemorrhaging, infection, hospitalization, and even surgery.

Here’s what you need to know:

• There is an official report that proves chemical abortion is not “safe and effective” as advertised.
• FDA safeguards have been weakened over the years, allowing abortion pills through telehealth and mail without proper oversight. We now have even more evidence that these removed protections are necessary and must be restored (at minimum).
• Our role is critical—women deserve real options, real care, and real hope.

Read the Report

Meanwhile, California and New York are suing to stop Heartbeat International and pregnancy help organizations from telling women that Abortion Pill Reversal is “safe and effective.” Now with real-world data, we can show even more clearly that the real danger lies with chemical abortion itself—not with the safe, natural progesterone treatment we offer.

What You Can Do:
✔ Educate your staff about the risks of the abortion pill (use the 10.93% figure noted in the report). 
✔ Talk with your clients about the full truth—chemical abortion can cause serious harm.
✔ Promote APRN confidently—women have the right to know they can seek help to save their pregnancies.
✔ Share this report—EPPC.org/publication/stop-harming-women

Bottom line: Women deserve better—and we are here to offer it.
