"Nurses are front-line witnesses to the devastating impact of chemical abortion drugs," Dorothy Kane, president of the National Association of Pro-Life Nurses, told CatholicVote, according to LifeNews. "We see the women arriving in emergency rooms, hemorrhaging and suffering from life-threatening infections." She and her group want the FDA to implement safeguards. Once again, Democrats’ touted "healthcare" just means more dead babies and injured mothers.
The National Association of Pro-life Nurses recently joined the plaintiffs in the critical Supreme Court case challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s removal of safeguards for the chemical abortion pill mifepristone. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments for the case, U.S. Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, on March 26 ... She noted the immediate risks posed by mifepristone and that the drug has "documented risks of complications."
Abortion pills essentially starve unborn babies to death. There is also extensive evidence that abortion adds to the trauma of rape victims, triggers grave psychological and emotional damage, and is never necessary to save a mother’s life.
If Americans knew the truth about these pills, they would probably join the pro-life nurses in supporting FDA action. As of Jan. 2023, over two-thirds of Americans — 69% — and nearly half of Democrats support banning abortion no later than the first trimester. Even 75% of young US voters (aged 18 to 42) support abortion restrictions at or before viability as of early 2024, a 10% increase over 2023 data. If American voters were empowered with the truth, particularly about the damages to women, they would probably want more restrictions on abortion pills too.
