liveaction--2020-03-03--EXPOSED: Abortion pill website willing to ship drugs into U.S. without prescription

A UK abortion pill website appears willing to ship drugs to women inside the U.S. without a doctor ’ s prescription .
Live Action News has been exposing the slow or lax efforts by the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) to crack down on these dangerous websites offering abortion pills outside FDA safety regulations .
The latest example comes from the website SafeAbortionRX , which has a prescription policy stating , “ Our products are prescription drugs and we strictly DO NOT dispense them without a healthcare professional ’ s advice slip or prescription.
” Yet , later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ If you feel that the medication is an urgent necessity for you and do not have a prescription , please contact our healthcare experts on the live chat or support team.
” In response , Live Action News set out to see what happens if a non-prescription request is made… and immediately learned that these abortion pills are shipped into the US from the UK .
I repeatedly asked about safety , and when “ Casey ” was given a gestational age of 5-6 weeks pregnant , “ Casey ” replied , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the MTP Kit is eligible only up to 11 weeks of gestational age and its 100 % safe and effective .
If you are less than 5 weeks pregnant you need to take 1 MTP KIT ( Abortion Pill ) , whereas if you are more than 5 weeks pregnant , we recommend you to buy 2 MTP KIT ( Abortion Pill ) , for emergency purpose , although one kit is required.
” When asked what comprises a MTP kit , “ Casey ” responded , “ mtp kit 1 Tablet of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Misoprostol ( 200mcg each ) .
” Mifepristone is the abortion pill , and is regulated by the FDA within the U.S. and dispensed by the manufacturer , DANCO Laboratories .
DANCO is a highly secretive company set up by the eugenics-based Population Council .
DANCO was originally funded in part by the Packard and Buffett Foundations .
Again , these are drugs to be obtained only by a legal prescription .
The group ’ s website clearly states , “ The MTP kit contains the two prescribed drugs for medical abortion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been proven highly efficient and are endorsed by women in many parts of the world .
The MTP kit can be used at home with minimal clinical supervision for effective termination of an early-detected pregnancy.
” I then asked if I needed to see a doctor , to which Casey responded , “ maam you need to check with dr you are pregnant or not.
” When asked if we needed to send them a prescription , the answer was , “ maam need dr prescription.
” So , I posed this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ If you feel that the medication is an urgent necessity for you and do not have a prescription , please contact our healthcare experts on the live chat or support team.

In response, Live Action News set out to see what happens if a non-prescription request is made… and immediately learned that these abortion pills are shipped into the US from the UK. Note: No pills were actually ordered. Ordering from a website like this one is illegal and we advise women to avoid them.
I repeatedly asked about safety, and when “Casey” was given a gestational age of 5-6 weeks pregnant, “Casey” replied, “This is to inform you that the MTP Kit is eligible only up to 11 weeks of gestational age and its 100% safe and effective.

The truth is that the abortion pill is not always “effective,” as Live Action News previously documented. And there are serious risks associated with use of the abortion pill, especially if the pregnancy is misdiagnosed. In 2018, the FDA updated adverse effects reports on legally dispensed abortion pills and documented:
24 deaths
4,200 reported adverse effects, including 1,042 hospitalizations, nearly 600 instances of blood loss requiring transfusions and other serious complications.
Under 2016 changes, abortion pill manufacturer DANCO no longer has to report non-fatal adverse effects, so we have no way of knowing what the number really is.
Editor’s Note, 4/18/21: The FDA has received reports of serious adverse events in women who took Mifeprex. As of December 31, 2018, there were reports of 24 deaths of women associated with Mifeprex since the product was approved in September 2000, including two cases of ectopic pregnancy resulting in death; and several cases of severe systemic infection (also called sepsis), including some that were fatal.”
The adverse events cannot with certainty be causally attributed to mifepristone because of concurrent use of other drugs, other medical or surgical treatments, co-existing medical conditions, and information gaps about patient health status and clinical management of the patient. A summary report of adverse events that reflects data through December 31, 2018 is here.

liveaction--2020-03-03--Attempts to legalize abortion in Argentina failed last year. Now, the country’s president is pushing

Attempts to legalize abortion in Argentina failed last year. Now, the country’s president is pushing a bill to change that.

In 2018 , abortion activists tried — and failed — to legalize abortion in the pro-life country of Argentina .
Pro-life Argentinians resisted pressure from outside groups and fought back , leading the Senate to vote against legalizing abortion .
But now , the pro-abortion push is coming from none other then Alberto Fernández , the president himself .
Before Fernández took office in December of 2019 , he had already promised that a bill legalizing abortion would be one of his first official acts , calling himself an abortion “ activist.
” He ’ s now seemingly making good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guardian , Fernández said on Sunday that he would be sending a bill to the country ’ s congress within 10 days .
If it passes , it would make Argentina the first major country in Latin America to legalize abortion .
The 2018 failure was blamed on then-president Mauricio Macri , who did not give support for the bill to legalize abortion .

UPDATE, 3/10/20: Argentina’s bishops held a pro-life Mass on Sunday, March 8 at the Basilica of Our Lady of Lujan, which 100,000 people were estimated to have attended. The Argentine bishops’ conference planned the Mass, themed “Yes to women, yes to life,” to show their opposition to the legalization of abortion by President Alberto Fernandez. Bishop Oscar Vicente Ojea Quintana told the crowd: “It’s not right to eliminate any human life, as our National Constitution affirms,” adding “violence and death are the exact opposite of Jesus’ plan.”

liveaction--2020-03-04--Abortionist tweets outdated and false claims about fetal pain, gets smacked down with facts

The group adds , “ A comprehensive review of the scientific literature including neural development , psychology of pain sensation , and moral implications of fetal pain , concludes that unborn babies may experience pain as early as 12 weeks .
The review notes that neural connections from periphery to brain are functionally complete after 18 weeks.
” According to research compiled by the Charlotte Lozier Institute ( CLI ) , the research and education institute of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List , “ The published scientific literature shows that unborn babies can experience pain at 20 weeks gestational @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Last Menstrual Period , the fetal age estimate used by most obstetricians ) or earlier….
” The truth : Dr. Sheila Page , DO , president of the Texas Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and an expert in fetal pain , corrected Grossman ’ s claim by stating that “ Reflexes can be elicited at 7.5 weeks.
” Grossman wrote , “ A fetus could have a reflect reaction to a painful stimulus around 18 weeks , however the neural connections to the cerebral cortex do not exist to allow the fetus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s unlikely until birth….
” In the thread , Grossman – -who is a Senior Advisor at the Later Abortion Initiative — called the idea that a preborn child can feel pain “ not based on science , just stigma [ against abortion ] .
” The Later Abortion Initiative is a project of Ibis Reproductive Health , funded by abortion investor the Packard Foundation and ( as recently as January 2020 ) also funded by abortion pill manufacturer DANCO Laboratories .
Live Action News previously detailed that study , published @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Medical Ethics , writing : According to the UK ’ s Daily Mail , British professor Stuart Derbyshire — an abortion supporter who was once a consultant for Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocacy groups — claimed in 2006 that there was “ good evidence that fetuses can not experience pain.
” Today , while he still supports abortion , he believes — along with his American co-researcher , John C. Bockmann ( who apparently does not share Derbyshire ’ s pro-abortion position ) — that several studies call into question the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ authors summarize , “ Here , more recent evidence calling into question the necessity of the cortex for pain and demonstrating functional thalamic connectivity into the subplate is used to argue that the neuroscience can not definitively rule out fetal pain before 24 weeks .
We consider the possibility that the mere experience of pain , without the capacity for self reflection , is morally significant.
” A blog post about the study from the authors reads in part , “ We both agree , however , that different views regarding abortion should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the possibility of fetal pain .
Scientific findings pertinent to the question of fetal pain , and philosophical discussion of the nature of pain , should be assessed independently of any views about the rights and wrongs of abortion.
” Dr. David Prentice , CLI ’ s Vice President and Research Director , noted in an op-ed , ” Neonatologist Dr. Robin Pierucci points out that not only the preponderance of scientific evidence but also the vast experience of medical workers in the neonatal clinic make the existence of fetal pain undeniable.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brain centers .
Neural connections do exist , but even so are not necessary for pain perception .
There is no evidence of a pain perception center in the cortex , which continues to mature for 25 years after birth .
The latest published review of the science behind pain perception in the developing human confirms that the cumulative works on the neuroscience related to pain perception in unborn children indicates that they are capable of feeling pain between 12 and 25 weeks gestation .
Grossman ’ s False Claim # 2 : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to relax the mother ’ s uterus , not for fetal pain relief .
The truth : Many medical institutions are clear that anesthesia was used in fetal surgery to comfort both mother and preborn baby .

The group adds, “A comprehensive review of the scientific literature including neural development, psychology of pain sensation, and moral implications of fetal pain, concludes that unborn babies may experience pain as early as 12 weeks. The review notes that neural connections from periphery to brain are functionally complete after 18 weeks.”
According to research compiled by the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI), the research and education institute of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, “The published scientific literature shows that unborn babies can experience pain at 20 weeks gestational age (20 weeks LMP, since Last Menstrual Period, the fetal age estimate used by most obstetricians) or earlier….”
The truth: Dr. Sheila Page , DO, president of the Texas Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and an expert in fetal pain, corrected Grossman’s claim by stating that “Reflexes can be elicited at 7.5 weeks.”
Grossman wrote, “A fetus could have a reflect reaction to a painful stimulus around 18 weeks, however the neural connections to the cerebral cortex do not exist to allow the fetus to perceive this as pain, and it’s unlikely until birth….”
In the thread, Grossman – -who is a Senior Advisor at the Later Abortion Initiative — called the idea that a preborn child can feel pain “not based on science, just stigma [against abortion].” The Later Abortion Initiative is a project of Ibis Reproductive Health, funded by abortion investor the Packard Foundation and (as recently as January 2020) also funded by abortion pill manufacturer DANCO Laboratories.
Live Action News previously detailed that study, published in January 2020 by the BMJ Journal of Medical Ethics, writing:
According to the UK’s Daily Mail, British professor Stuart Derbyshire — an abortion supporter who was once a consultant for Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocacy groups — claimed in 2006 that there was “good evidence that fetuses cannot experience pain.” Today, while he still supports abortion, he believes — along with his American co-researcher, John C. Bockmann (who apparently does not share Derbyshire’s pro-abortion position) — that several studies call into question the current 24-week pain ‘consensus.’
The authors summarize, “Here, more recent evidence calling into question the necessity of the cortex for pain and demonstrating functional thalamic connectivity into the subplate is used to argue that the neuroscience cannot definitively rule out fetal pain before 24 weeks. We consider the possibility that the mere experience of pain, without the capacity for self reflection, is morally significant.”
A blog post about the study from the authors reads in part, “We both agree, however, that different views regarding abortion should not influence open and frank discussion about the possibility of fetal pain. Scientific findings pertinent to the question of fetal pain, and philosophical discussion of the nature of pain, should be assessed independently of any views about the rights and wrongs of abortion.”
Dr. David Prentice, CLI’s Vice President and Research Director, noted in an op-ed,”Neonatologist Dr. Robin Pierucci points out that not only the preponderance of scientific evidence but also the vast experience of medical workers in the neonatal clinic make the existence of fetal pain undeniable.”
Dr. Page, mentioned above, told Live Action News:
Pain perception is a function of lower brain centers. Neural connections do exist, but even so are not necessary for pain perception. There is no evidence of a pain perception center in the cortex, which continues to mature for 25 years after birth. The latest published review of the science behind pain perception in the developing human confirms that the cumulative works on the neuroscience related to pain perception in unborn children indicates that they are capable of feeling pain between 12 and 25 weeks gestation.
Grossman’s False Claim #2: Anesthesia in fetal surgery is only used to relax the mother’s uterus, not for fetal pain relief.
The truth: Many medical institutions are clear that anesthesia was used in fetal surgery to comfort both mother and preborn baby. For example, Children’s Hospital Colorado states, “Anesthesia also passes through the placenta to the unborn child, allowing the fetal surgery team to perform necessary procedures without causing pain or discomfort to the baby.”
Cincinnati Children’s is clear that, “In all cases, anesthesiologists are involved to provide for the comfort and safety of pregnant mothers and their babies.”
A 2018 article published by Science Daily states in part (emphasis added):
Although the problem of whether fetuses are able to feel pain or not is still controversial, experts at the University Hospital Virgen del Rocío in Seville have recently published a study in which they found that from the second trimester of pregnancy, the future baby already shows signs of pain when given a harmful stimulus or as a response to stress. The finding, the researchers argue, indicates the need to anesthetize the fetus during open fetal surgery, OFS.
There is a school of thought that believes that in the case of fetal interventions, it is sufficient to administer anesthesia to the mother as this passes through the fetus through the umbilical cord. Now, the experts have shown that this might not be sufficient and that from 21 weeks, the fetus can feel pain, so it also needs to be anesthetized.
The article went on to state, “… [I]n the opinion of these experts, direct administration is “obligatory” for [sic] reduce fetal stress and also release the incidence of fetal mortality…it is a confirmed fact that fetal mortality is higher than 20% in the case of non-anesthetized fetuses. This rate drops to 0% in operations carried out until now at the University Hospital Virgen del Rocío in Seville.”
The facts about fetal pain just don’t line up with abortionist Dr. Daniel Grossman’s claims.

liveaction--2020-03-04--In promoting illegal abortion pill websites, media plays Russian roulette with women’s lives

A recent report published by VICE appears to endorse illegal and irresponsible abortion pill websites , revealing how the abortion industry advises women experiencing complications from illegal abortion pills to lie and tell emergency healthcare providers that they are having natural miscarriages .
The article walks the readers through the illegal process of a woman called “ Tara , ” who ordered abortion pills from an unregulated website promoting “ self-managed ” abortion .
And the report contains multiple hidden agendas .
Tara* has health insurance .
But when she found out she was pregnant , she realized she still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cost of an in-clinic abortion : Since she hadn ’ t met her $ 1,500 deductible , she would have to pay for the entire procedure out of pocket , which would cost several hundred dollars… .
Then she remembered she had read about Aid Access , a website run by a doctor based in the Netherlands who prescribes abortion pills for just $ 90 .
Did VICE attempt to explain why an abortion pill shipped from outside the U.S. can cost hundreds less than one sold by an abortion facility ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ online from random unregulated locations , VICE might have questioned why the price of the abortion pill at U.S. abortion facilities is so exceedingly high .
Aid Access is currently considered the most reputable resource for self-managing an abortion .
While there are several sites where people can buy abortion pills online , Aid Access is the most affordable… .
Reputable ?
Nowhere in the VICE piece is it mentioned that the Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter to Aid Access , to “ immediately cease ” dispension of the drugs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and filled by a pharmacy in India .
The unregulated group responded by expressing their intent to defy the FDA ’ s warnings .
In May 2019 , 100 lawmakers sent a letter to the FDA requesting the agency “ continue to conduct oversight ” of Aid Access .
And , despite the fact that the FDA has seized or shut down websites illegally dispensing other drugs , the government agency appears to be dragging its feet in shutting down this unregulated site .
Hidden Agenda # 3 : Remove the FDA ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While three women VICE spoke to who used Aid Access were all ultimately successful in self-managing their abortions with pills from the site , some women online have described panicking about the wait time for the pills… .

A recent report published by VICE appears to endorse illegal and irresponsible abortion pill websites, revealing how the abortion industry advises women experiencing complications from illegal abortion pills to lie and tell emergency healthcare providers that they are having natural miscarriages. The article walks the readers through the illegal process of a woman called “Tara,” who ordered abortion pills from an unregulated website promoting “self-managed” abortion. And the report contains multiple hidden agendas.
Hidden Agenda #1: Promote taxpayer-funded, zero-deductible, “no-cost” abortion for patients.
Tara* has health insurance. But when she found out she was pregnant, she realized she still wouldn’t be able to afford the cost of an in-clinic abortion: Since she hadn’t met her $1,500 deductible, she would have to pay for the entire procedure out of pocket, which would cost several hundred dollars…. Then she remembered she had read about Aid Access, a website run by a doctor based in the Netherlands who prescribes abortion pills for just $90.
Did VICE attempt to explain why an abortion pill shipped from outside the U.S. can cost hundreds less than one sold by an abortion facility? No. Instead of glorifying pills shipped online from random unregulated locations, VICE might have questioned why the price of the abortion pill at U.S. abortion facilities is so exceedingly high.
Hidden Agenda #2: Promote unregulated online abortions.
From VICE:
Aid Access is currently considered the most reputable resource for self-managing an abortion. While there are several sites where people can buy abortion pills online, Aid Access is the most affordable….
Reputable? Nowhere in the VICE piece is it mentioned that the Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter to Aid Access, to “immediately cease” dispension of the drugs provided by an abortionist in the Netherlands and filled by a pharmacy in India. The unregulated group responded by expressing their intent to defy the FDA’s warnings. In May 2019, 100 lawmakers sent a letter to the FDA requesting the agency “continue to conduct oversight” of Aid Access. And, despite the fact that the FDA has seized or shut down websites illegally dispensing other drugs, the government agency appears to be dragging its feet in shutting down this unregulated site.
Hidden Agenda #3: Remove the FDA’s safety protocols for the abortion pill.
While three women VICE spoke to who used Aid Access were all ultimately successful in self-managing their abortions with pills from the site, some women online have described panicking about the wait time for the pills…. And others—including one of the women in this story—said that they had used the abortion pills past the recommended time frame due to shipping delays…This is…the result of the many restrictions on medication abortion, which doctors and reproductive health experts say are medically unnecessary…
…Giving yourself a medication abortion doesn’t have to include weeks of waiting for a package to arrive in the mail, reproductive health advocates say: If the FDA lifted the restrictions on mifepristone….
The FDA’s safety system called REMS only permits the abortion pill to be prescribed at a hospital or facility which can properly date a pregnancy and which has the ability to handle complications or emergencies. Yet abortion organizations and their media allies like VICE are protecting dangerous websites not regulated by the FDA. Case in point, VICE mentions online support groups that direct women to these clandestine websites, and writes, “VICE is not including the names of the online forums so as not to make them a target for shuttering.”

Instead of condemning the illegal websites shipping unregulated abortion pills and defying the FDA, VICE implied that U.S. Customs agents were “targeting” Aid Access:
Some people receive their package in just a few days, but others may wait weeks for theirs to arrive. (Customs did not return VICE’s multiple requests for comment about whether it is targeting packages from Aid Access.)
Dangerous Consequences:
There are dangerous consequences to VICE’s kind of irresponsible journalism promoting self-managed abortion:
Even though Tara didn’t receive her pills until the 11-week mark, she was undeterred by the warnings about taking the pills past 10 weeks. She researched medication abortion past 10 weeks, looked up the signs of infection, and read about the experiences of other people who had been in a similar situation.
To recap, even though the abortion pill has only been approved through 70 days (or 10 weeks) by the FDA, women accessing these illegal websites could be risking serious complications by proceeding without any clinical oversight.
Dr. Donna Harrison, Executive Director of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), told Live Action News, “The risk of massive hemorrhage rises exponentially after 10 weeks gestation. Two out of 10 to 4 out of 10 women will need emergency surgery to complete the abortion. For women in rural areas, this can mean death from hemorrhage unless they can access emergency rooms staffed with OBGYNs who can handle the complications.”
As Live Action News previously documented, when complications from a “self-managed abortion” arise, abortion advocates advise women to present to the ER claiming they are experiencing a natural miscarriage, rather than abortion. This was clearly illustrated by the VICE piece:
She knew if she had any complications to just tell doctors that she had a miscarriage, to avoid possible criminalization for self-inducing an abortion.
Neither the abortion industry nor its reckless media allies seem concerned with how irresponsible reporting on the abortion pill can impact women’s safety when suffering a botched pill abortion by leaving medical personnel unaware of important details needed for women’s emergency care. In addition, a growing litany of such false “miscarriage” reports will eventually lead to polluted data on all early pregnancies, which could lead to higher medical or insurance costs for all pregnant women.

liveaction--2020-03-04--After two abortions and a tubal ligation, I hit rock bottom. I know abortion isn’t empowering.

Editor ’ s Note : The opinions expressed in this guest submission are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of Live Action or Live Action News .
As a pro-life activist , I have watched young women walk into abortion facility doors , and I weep , knowing when they walk out , they will no longer be the same .
It might not happen immediately , but a change occurs .
As the hole in the heart left by the lost baby grows larger , the soul darkens , and hope begins to evaporate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve been there .
Twice .
It was not long after Roe v. Wade became law that I had my first abortion .
I was career-oriented and a die-hard , left-wing feminist .
I believed the rhetoric about abortion being a source of empowerment – the power to choose what happens to my own body .
During what I now call my “ dark days ” ( post-abortion ) , I made very bad choices… many of them encouraged by my best friend , alcohol .
Booze was a convenient way to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guilt and shame of my abortions .
Those choices caused many losses back then — relationships ( including two marriages ) , respect of my family and friends , and a successful career in the government .
But the most grievous loss was my fertility .
Of all , this was the one that had the most impact .
You see , at the age of 30 , I convinced a doctor to give me a tubal ligation .
I lied to myself , saying I didn ’ t want to have any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ felt I didn ’ t deserve to have any .
The guilt and shame of killing my two precious babies resulted in my never being able to conceive again .
I ended up a broken , drunk , and barren woman – because I believed abortion would empower me .
I eventually hit a suicidal bottom and ended up in a mental hospital .
When I entered the facility , the psychiatrist asked me why I wanted to die , and for some reason , the first time in decades , I told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inside and wanted to finish the job .
Through therapy and subsequent alcohol rehab , my head began to clear , but for some reason , I still felt empty , and it remained that way for many years … even with sobriety and continued therapy .
It wasn ’ t until I began going to church and heard a woman speak about how her abortion affected her life that I was able to connect the dots .
I was still carrying regret and shame of my abortions and mourning the deaths of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a healing retreat not long after and was able to come to terms with what I had done and finally understand why I sabotaged so much in my life and why my heart was still in pieces .
After the retreat , I felt almost whole again .
The pieces of my heart were put together by acknowledging my babies ’ existence and welcoming them into my life , but the abortions still haunt me and probably always will .
I also chose to see my tubal ligation as a blessing that brought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but the thought of never experiencing carrying a baby to term and giving birth still stings .
I can ’ t turn back the hands of time .
All I can do is speak out and make it abundantly clear : abortion is far from empowering .
It ’ s “ unpowering.
” It strips power from within and replaces it with years of guilt , shame , and self-loathing , and I want to prevent others from experiencing it all .

How do I know? I’ve been there. Twice. It was not long after Roe v. Wade became law that I had my first abortion. I was career-oriented and a die-hard, left-wing feminist. I believed the rhetoric about abortion being a source of empowerment – the power to choose what happens to my own body.
During what I now call my “dark days” (post-abortion), I made very bad choices… many of them encouraged by my best friend, alcohol. Booze was a convenient way to mask all my emotions, especially the guilt and shame of my abortions.
Those choices caused many losses back then — relationships (including two marriages), respect of my family and friends, and a successful career in the government. But the most grievous loss was my fertility. Of all, this was the one that had the most impact.
You see, at the age of 30, I convinced a doctor to give me a tubal ligation. I lied to myself, saying I didn’t want to have any children, but the truth was I felt I didn’t deserve to have any. The guilt and shame of killing my two precious babies resulted in my future infertility.

I ended up a broken, drunk, and barren woman – because I believed abortion would empower me.
I eventually hit a suicidal bottom and ended up in a mental hospital. When I entered the facility, the psychiatrist asked me why I wanted to die, and for some reason, the first time in decades, I told the truth. I was already dead inside and wanted to finish the job. Through therapy and subsequent alcohol rehab, my head began to clear, but for some reason, I still felt empty, and it remained that way for many years … even with sobriety and continued therapy.
It wasn’t until I began going to church and heard a woman speak about how her abortion affected her life that I was able to connect the dots. I was still carrying regret and shame of my abortions and mourning the deaths of my babies and fertility.
I attended a healing retreat not long after and was able to come to terms with what I had done and finally understand why I sabotaged so much in my life and why my heart was still in pieces. After the retreat, I felt almost whole again. The pieces of my heart were put together by acknowledging my babies’ existence and welcoming them into my life, but the abortions still haunt me and probably always will. I also chose to see my tubal ligation as a blessing that brought me a son through foster care adoption, but the thought of never experiencing carrying a baby to term and giving birth still stings.
I can’t turn back the hands of time. All I can do is speak out and make it abundantly clear: abortion is far from empowering. It’s “unpowering.” It strips power from within and replaces it with years of guilt, shame, and self-loathing, and I want to prevent others from experiencing it all.

They shared how Act 620 would have helped them .
“ I had an abortion , ” said Cindy Collins , founder of Louisiana Abortion Recovery .
“ The abortionist told me to ‘ Get up , get out and to shut up.
’ As I walked out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I laid outside in the grass with a bloody skirt and my blood was on the ground as well as the blood of my child .
[ … ] I ’ m hearing the same stories today .
I counsel women almost every day and even on phone calls that tell me the same story .
[ … ] These abortionists are not being held to account .
In Louisiana , there was even an ophthalmologist and a radiologist that were doing abortions .
Women deserve better than that.
” Joyce Brown shared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Eileen Smith , who wrote her story for Brown to share .
One day , Smith received a call from Laura , but it wasn ’ t her voice on the phone .
“ There was screaming and sobbing on the other end by a voice I did not immediately recognize , ” read Brown .
“ I heard the words : Laura , ER , and then the worst ones – not breathing , and then abortion .
It was Laura ’ s friend Karen on the phone .
She told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having an abortion and something went terribly wrong.
” However , Laura , age 22 was already deceased before she left the abortion facility .
She had begun to cough while under anesthesia , and the abortionist gave her more drugs .

“ [ … ] We have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot of work to do , in fighting for the safety of women who have too often become the victims of an abortion agenda that cuts deals and cuts corners and puts their health in jeopardy .
[ … ] We know that one of the biggest lies that the abortion movement tells us that we can only protect life in the womb at the expense of vulnerable women .
The opposite is true .
We can not protect unborn children if we don ’ t prioritize the health and well being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Abortion Act … recognizes the fact that abortion providers routinely put the safety of women at risk.
” Scalise pointed out that abortion facilities to be held to the same basic health standards as any other outpatient surgical facility .
“ Shouldn ’ t there be some basic health standards ?
If abortion clinics are going to operate , shouldn ’ t they be concerned and make sure those doctors actually have hospital admitting privileges in case something goes wrong ?
We ’ ve seen women die on abortion tables because the doctors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have those standards ?
That should be something everybody should agree on .
But today , the Court ’ s going to resolve that issue.
” Dr. Christina Francis , chair of the board at the American Association of Pro-Life OB/GYNs ( AAPLOG ) spoke about her responsibility to her patients to ensure they receive proper care .
“ I am here today representing thousands of women ’ s health care physicians .
As an OB/GYN when I perform surgery on a woman , she is my responsibility and no one else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their patients after a botched procedure are negligent .
Even physicians performing minor procedures at ambulatory surgery centers like circumcision , mole removal , a foot procedure are required to have admitting privileges .
What ’ s happening to women in Louisiana is not acceptable behavior .
When women are suffering complications like hemorrhage or infection , they ’ re either abandoned to the curb or left to the care of another physician who has no info about her .
these abortionists are revealing their real priority profit over patient care .
Women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] Say no to deadbeat doctors.

He told the crowd , “ For decades , not only has the abortion industry treated babies as trash , but they ’ ve looked at the mother as just the trash can… so of course , they mistreat the mother… .

But not anymore .

“ I believe that to be pro-life , it ’ s about having a whole life ethic , ” he said .
“ It ’ s not simply about the children before they ’ re born .
It ’ s about people that stand on the other side .
It ’ s about people who don ’ t agree with us .
It ’ s about people we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about people at all stages of life .
The most powerful thing that we call can do is to love others and respect others .
And we do not engage in these sorts of things simply to win .
We engage because we care about people ’ s hearts.

For far too long in this country , we ’ ve remained silent on that industry and we ’ ve been scared to put regulations on them , but not in Lousiana .
Not in Louisiana .
If you accept our money , of you accept that woman ’ s money , you should be qualified and you should do whatever it takes to ensure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s what this case is about.
” As previously reported by Live Action News , admitting privileges allow for consistency of care for women and enable the doctor who committed the abortion to alert emergency room staff of the patient ’ s condition and injuries before the patient arrives at the hospital .
This is critical in ensuring that women receive timely and adequate care .
According to the rally website , every doctor at all outpatient surgical facilities in Louisiana is required to have hospital admitting privileges — except for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Center for Reproductive Rights , the Hope Medical Group for Women , and two abortionists sued Louisiana over the law .
This is the first abortion-related case to be heard by both Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh , who are considered to be conservative-leaning judges .
