by Judie Brown Recently 92 members of Congress called on the
Food and Drug Administration’s commissioner, Stephen Hahn, to redefine
the abortion pill Mifeprex (mifepristone) as a “hazard” or “threat of
danger.” The goal is to have the pill removed from the market. Senator
Ted Cruz and 19 of his colleagues in the Senate sent a letter raising concerns that Gynuity’sabortion-pill-by-mail project is creating enormous health risks and death among women. The letter states: Gynuity’s
direct-to-consumer abortion pill by mail experiment has been going on
for nearly five years and has now expanded to 13 states. In addition to
placing the lives of American women and children at risk by offering
their clinical study to girls as young as ten years old, they use women
in Burkina Faso in their second trimester as research subjects, despite
the high risk of infection and uterine rupture—this is also a region
where emergency services and blood products for transfusions are in
short supply. We find these practices and uses of human subjects to be
highly suspect, and we ask the FDA take immediate steps to review these
activities.
A documented report reveals
that the experiments in Burkina Faso were funded by groups such as the
Population Institute, Planned Parenthood, the Gates Foundation, the
Buffet Foundation, and others. The report explains that “Gynuity’s two
biggest funders—the Gates and Buffett Foundations—are among the largest
supporters of abortion advocacy and research globally.” The
media has been quick to point an accusing finger in rebuke for reasons
that expose once again their disdain for women and their preborn babies.
They despise the fact that Senator Ted Cruz has accurately pointed out that
pregnancy is not an illness. He said: “The abortion pill does not cure
or prevent any disease.” Though his statement is irrefutable, the
culture-of-death shills do not agree. Not only has Cruz been called a misogynist (woman hater) by ranting feminists, but others have accused him of being ignorant of the facts. But let’s face it: Cruz and his colleagues in both houses of Congress are being honest, and that drives the other side wild. Abortion
does not save lives; it kills them. Pregnancy is a state of being, not a
terminal illness. In response to the felonious claims about Cruz and
his colleagues, Dr. Michael New tweeted:
“Separate studies using long-term public health data from California
and Finland show that abortion is associated with a higher death rate
than childbirth.” The pro-abortion media use statistics from studies paid for by pro-abortion philanthropists like Buffett and the Packard Foundation that
represent biased research rather than the unbiased, factual data—data
that is just as easy to find. But accuracy takes a holiday when the
abortion cartel has a stranglehold on those who were once trusted to
provide news instead of propaganda. As the 92 courageous lawmakers told Commissioner Hahn:
“Of course, adverse events are notoriously underreported, which makes
the true number impossible to assess. Moreover, as of 2016, abortion
pill manufacturers are only required to report maternal deaths. However,
most women experiencing adverse reactions (such as hemorrhaging) are
more likely to seek emergency care at hospitals and emergency rooms,
rather than returning to the abortion facility where the pill was
prescribed.” In
other words, all the hyperbole and accusations from proponents of the
abortion pill reveal one important reality: The 92 got their facts
straight. And as is always the case, truth scares those who market the
lie that abortion is safe and good for you. Thank God for the 92. |
