Doctor Sounds Alarm on Abortion Pill, Says People ‘Refuse to Look at the Science’

A doctor is warning against the mainstreaming of the abortion pill, proclaiming there is no information on the “long-term consequences” of the pill women are increasingly using to end early-term pregnancies. Dr. Donna Harrison, CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told CBN’s Faithwire the abortion pill is a “powerful anti-hormone” that blocks women’s bodies from continuing on with a healthy pregnancy. “It blocks the hormone that allows a woman’s body to continue a pregnancy, and when that hormone is blocked, then the woman’s body can’t feed the baby,” Harrison said. “The hormone has effects all over a woman’s body, her brain, her breast, and we have no idea of the long-term consequences of this powerful anti-hormone, especially in teenagers where it’s never been tested.” She explained the abortion pill is two medications. The first, mifepristone, stops the pregnancy from being viable, and the second, misoprostol, causes the women’s womb to contract and the pregnancy to end. Harrison said the drug causes bleeding, which is a prime area of concern. “Use of this drug has been associated with massive hemorrhage,” she said. “I’ve reviewed some of the adverse event reports sent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration where women have over half of their blood volume —some have lost more than their entire blood volume — and had to have more than their entire blood volume replaced to keep up with the massive hemorrhage.” It’s the kind of bleeding one might see in a major motor vehicle accident, Harrison said. Watch her and Erik Baptist, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a religious liberty law firm, tell CBN’s Faithwire why they’re challenging the FDA in federal court — and why this issue matters.
