Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · An OBGYN On What The Abortion Pill Actually Does To Your Body | Dr. Christina Francis, MD · 20 Feb 2026 podcast

In 2016, the FDA started under the Obama administration started to remove essential safeguards

They expanded the use of this drug to 10 weeks of pregnancy from seven weeks, even knowing that that was going to lead to significantly more complications for women.

They removed the in-person follow-up visits, meaning women who had complications, the abortion providers did not have to see them for follow-up to screen for those complications.

And at the same time that they did all of that,

knowing that this was going to cause more complications, they also said, oh, you no longer have to report all complications to us, only deaths.

So now they're not collecting data on complications anymore.

Then fast forward to the Biden administration in 2021.

Again, this is pre-Dobbs, before the Dobbs decision.

The Biden administration, the FDA under Biden, removed that in-person dispensing requirement, allowing then for these drugs to be dispensed online and through the mail.

This is what's harming women.

It wasn't because abortion was made illegal.

It was because of this expanded unfettered access to these very dangerous drugs that even under the most controlled of circumstances have a four times higher complication rate than surgical abortions.

And that's when women are getting ultrasounds or being seen in person, all of that, they still have a much higher complication rate.

So it's the abortion industry actually that has been pushing for harmful practices for women, not laws outlawing abortion.

And I think the other way that we can know that is look at the vast majority of OBGYNs.

Again, somewhere between 86 and 93 percent of OBGYNs that don't do abortions as part of our practice.

I've been in practice for more than 20 years.

I've never performed an abortion.

And I don't have women that have died unnecessarily or, you know, from preventable causes that I could have intervened and saved their lives.

If abortion was truly needed, if induced abortion was truly needed to save women's lives, then we would see all of us who don't do abortions, we would have a line of dead women behind us.
