A Hard Pill to Swallow: Mifepristone and the Dangers of Chemical Abortion

The pro-abortion lobby is nothing if not inconsistent. When it comes to proven, long-established medicines—such as certain treatments for COVID-19—they will debase and silence those who are open-minded enough to suggest there’s an alternative to taking an unproven, untested vaccine. But when a medication with clear, proven risks serves their purpose—unchecked expansion of abortion, for example—they will demonize those who question the safety of unregulated access to it.

Only the Right Science

During the pandemic, it became a rallying cry on the Left: “Follow the science.” But of course, it has to be the right science. When it comes to abortion, no amount of evidence of harm can overcome the right they’ve invented for women to control “their own bodies.” Abortion is itself harmful on many levels, but Mifepristone, the first of two drugs used in chemical abortions, is where pro-life advocates have set their sights in recent years, and for good reason.
