Women having a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) have a threefold increase in ectopic pregnancy risk. Gonorrhea and chlamydia infections, the primary causes of PID, have been increasing. Ectopic pregnancy is 600% more likely to occur if conception takes place while an intrauterine device is in place. IUDs have increasingly become the birth control method of choice. Medication abortion and ectopic pregnancy manifest similar symptoms, potentially masking the presence of ectopic pregnancy that results in death when not detected and treated.

"I didn't think I would be left so alone." helpafterabortion.com Who really cares for women & girls? Most pro-choice advocates recommend abortion to a woman in crisis under the assumption that it will resolve the crisis and lead to better mental health outcomes for the woman. They may interpret the 'relief' a woman feels with the resolution of the pregnancy crisis to mean that there could be no mental harm from the procedure. Pro-life advocates, particularly those who work with women who have had mental health crises that they attribute to their abortion, argue the opposite, that intentionally ending the life of an unborn child leads to much guilt and regret for a woman, triggering symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance abuse and potentially suicidal thoughts. "An honest evaluation of the literature is imperative for those who care for women."

"It was a legally elected parliament which allowed for the election of Hitler in Germany in the 1930s...which meant the extermination of millions of sons and daughters of Israel...We have to question the legal regulations that have been decided in the parliaments of present day democracies. The most direct association which comes to mind is the abortion laws…Parliaments which create and promulgate such laws must be aware that they are transgressing their powers and remain in open conflict with the law of God and the law of nature.” -John Paul II.

Over 60% of abortions involve coercion by a partner, relative or trafficker. Abortion pills, especially when given without an in-person visit, facilitates this coercion. Help defend women and girls and their right to protect themselves and their preborn children. Take a stand against coerced abortion.

At the March 26 Supreme Court hearing: Mifepristone manufacturer Danco's lawyers went on record saying that the reason abortion pill mifepristone safeguards were removed was to protect Danco drug manufacturer profit margins. With an estimated 25,000 women and girls landing in the emergency room as a result of this abortion drug per year, it is clear that the FDA must be held accountable and safeguards replaced. #aaplog #integrityinmedicine #allianceforhippocraticmedicine #aaplogfdalawsuit #aaplogmedicationabortion #joinaaplogtoday

“In 2016 the FDA allowed nonphysicians to prescribe mifepristone and removed the requirement that the prescriber see patients for follow-up visits to evaluate them for potential complications, making it far less likely that an ectopic pregnancy would be diagnosed before it became life-threatening. In 2021 the agency eliminated the requirement that women be evaluated in person by any medical professional. "Yet the FDA's label for mifepristone carries the warning: 'Ectopic pregnancy: Exclude before treatment.' It also notes that 'some of the expected symptoms experienced with a medical abortion (abdominal pain, uterine bleeding) may be similar to those of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.'"

"Under the FDA's relaxed protocols, women are at far greater risk of a deadly ectopic pregnancy." The removal of abortion drug safety protocols by the FDA "increase the likelihood that a woman will mistake a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy for normal abortion-drug side effects." A "significant increase" in the occurrence of ectopic pregnancies over the past decade has set the ground for a deadly convergence that cannot be ignored.

Journal has ‘blatant double standards,’ doesn’t apply same criteria to pro-abortion research: authors Kate Roberson, Empire State College, Feb 22, 2024 Pro-life researchers confirmed plans this week to take legal action against Sage Journals after the academic publication retracted three of their abortion studies. Lead researcher James Studnicki, vice president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute and former faculty at Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, told The College Fix the journal has demonstrated “blatant double standards” in its retractions that involve conflicts of interest disclosures. “Our team of researchers has refuted every single critique about the research and we encourage all to read the studies to understand the reasoning behind the methodology and our rebuttals to the critiques,” Studnicki told The Fix in an email last week. “There is no legitimate reason for Sage’s retractions.” On Wednesday, the Charlotte Lozier Institute told The Fix via email that their research organization “is pursuing appropriate legal action.” “Sage’s actions have unnecessarily and demonstrably harmed” the researchers’ professional reputations, their attorney David Shaneyfelt wrote in a letter to the journal Nov. 29 after being informed of the potential retractions.
