\u201cA dedicated abortion facility is still our first priority, but we have lost campaigns for the best reason \u2014 their abortion facility has gone out of business,\u201d Carney told CNA. \u201cThose locations \u2014 and many more in rural America \u2014 will now be focusing on abortion dispensing pharmacies. The complications of these dangerous abortion drugs (which often result in ER visits or follow-up appointments) and the employee conscience rights issues hitting CVS and Walgreens right now will be a legal headache for pharmacies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until this month, FDA policy only allowed certified doctors, clinics, and some mail-order pharmacies to dispense mifepristone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Critics of the drug include the Charlotte Lozier Institute, a pro-life think tank. Its July 2022 fact sheet on risks and complications of chemical abortion said that abortion pills are four times riskier than surgical abortions. The need for follow-up care can range from 3 to 10 percent of women when the drug is taken early in pregnancy and up to 39 percent of women if accidentally taken late in pregnancy, when surgery could be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women could be put at risk by a lack of ultrasound tests to confirm the age and the position of the unborn child, especially if there is an ectopic pregnancy. A lack of blood test requirements could affect Rh-negative women, who need special treatment to avoid serious risks to future pregnancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wharton said that easier access to the pills can make it easier for abusive men to conceal pregnancy and abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to make it easier for abusers in the community to buy these pills,\u201d she objected. \u201cIt\u2019s going to make it easier for a woman in a situation where she\u2019s vulnerable to get an abortion, and she has nobody counseling her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
