WHAT HAPPENS TO BABIES WHO SURVIVE ELLA "EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE"?
What Happens to Babies Who Survive Ella?Ella, the FDA-approved "emergency contraceptive" can also cause an abortion, Dr. Donna Harrison, OBGYN and president of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) will explain ella's potential impact on the small number (approximately 2%) of babies who survive after their mother takes the drug. Dr. Harrison explains that when a pregnant woman takes ella, her placenta is altered so that the developing baby is essentially starved of necessary nutrition. The two percent of babies that do survive this trauma will likely be impacted developmentally. Dr. Harrison shares the story of one such baby. Unfortunately, no studies have been conducted on ella's effect on children in the womb. What's worse, if a woman takes ella while nursing, the drug can actually pass through the mother 's milk. This could be dangerous for children, and the FDA even included a warning on the labeling information that breastfeeding women should not take ella. Yet no studies have been conducted on babies who ingest ella through their mother's breast-milk. Mother's deserve to know the truth about ella--how it will work in their bodies and on their babies.
