Democrats and corporate media spent much of the 2024 election cycle trying to pin deaths directly linked to the abortion pill on pro-life policies. Their lies and deceptions primarily centered on the story of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman who died alongside her twin babies after suffering complications stemming from the abortion pill.
Thurman's death is no doubt the direct result of a two-drug regimen (mifepristone and misoprostol) responsible for more than half of the nation's abortions. Yet, outlets such as ProPublica skipped past mifepristone's known correlation with serious adverse events to insist that women who took the pills, such as Thurman and Candi Miller, lost their lives due to pro-life laws.
Years after Thurman's death, the harmful and sometimes fatal effects of mifepristone on women and their babies are no doubt still news. Yet, when the "largest known study of the abortion pill" debuted this week, showing the rate of serious or life-threatening complications after the abortion pill is 22 times higher than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the mifepristone manufacturer Danco Laboratories suggest, the same outlets that spent months smearing pro-life protections to advance Democrats' radical abortion agenda were silent.
Corporate media's blackout on a landmark study should not come as a shock.
