What are the long-term risks of taking the abortion pill that women are not told?
What are the long-term risks of taking the abortion pill that women are not told? A potential impact on their future fertility, a 300% increased risk of preterm birth in future pregnancies. There is a significant impact on long-term mental health. Approximately one in nine women will experience a severe adverse event related to these drugs, and they're not being told that. Is it actually possible if you take the abortion pill to reverse it? Yes. It is. If we get to a woman within 72 hours of her taking mifepristone before she takes that next drug and we give her progesterone, you can actually out-compete the mifepristone and reverse the effects. Similar to when we give Narcan to combat the effects of fentanyl, to reverse a fentanyl overdose.
It's the abortion industry actually that has been pushing for harmful practices for women. not laws outlawing abortion. They will claim that these drugs are safer than Tylenol, that it's just like a heavy period. These are lies.
Every 49 seconds in America, another abortion happens. Not in a clinic, not in public, but quietly through the mail. Since Roe was overturned, abortions didn't disappear. They went underground. Pills are being shipped to doorsteps, bypassing doctors, bypassing safeguards, and leaving women to bleed alone in their bathrooms. Today, we're exposing what no other health and wellness podcast will cover, the physical risks, the environmental impact of fetal tissue and blood being flushed down the toilet and into our water supply, and how the abortion pill industry harms all women. To discuss the topic with me is Dr. Christina Francis, board-certified OBGYN and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Since Dobbs, what changes on the ground are you seeing as an OB-GYN?
How does the abortion pill impact women's future fertility?
When the Dobbs decision came out, I think the thing that surprised me the most, especially as a physician, was the amount of medical misinformation that was out there. In fact, the day after the Dobbs decision, I was on shift, doing a 24-hour shift at the hospital, And my cell phone was blowing up with text messages, some of them from people who were as excited as I was that Roe was overturned. But so many text messages from medical colleagues saying, is it true that we can no longer treat ectopic pregnancy? Is it true that we can no longer treat miscarriage because now abortion is going to be illegal in some places? I don't know. For me, that really caught me off guard, I think, because... In no way, shape or form had abortion been equivocated with ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage treatment before.
But now that the pro-abortion side was having to defend their position, now they were sort of looping all of those actual women's health care issues into the abortion debate. And so that has been, I think, a real uphill battle for us since the Dobbs decision is correcting that medical misinformation and helping people understand that women can still receive the true life-saving health care that they need in states where abortion is now illegal.
We keep hearing that abortion rates have dropped since Dobbs, but pill numbers are on the rise. They're really saying the opposite. So what's happening?
Well, you know, it's hard to know exactly what's happening because there's no abortion reporting requirement in the country. So states can voluntarily report to the CDC. Guttmacher collects some data from abortion facilities, but it is hard to know exactly what's going on. But there does appear to be a trend towards more abortions. since the Dobbs decision. And that's not because, at least I don't think that's because abortion has been made illegal in some places.
