Study: Life-Threatening Complications From Mifepristone Abortion Pill 22 Times Higher Than Reported

Pro-choice advocates, the media, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have presented the abortion pill mifepristone as a safe and effective method for terminating an unwanted pregnancy. However, it turns out that they were not telling Americans the whole story. 

For over two decades, pro-life activists have sounded the alarm over life-threatening symptoms associated with the abortion pill. Nonetheless, the FDA, which is legally required to acknowledge those concerns, has seemingly refused to act. The FDA Commissioner Marty Makary has categorically stated that he has no intention of taking action.

However, a new analysis of the abortion pill-related medical insurance claims shows that the risk of users developing life-threatening complications after use was 22 times higher than the FDA and the abortion pill Mifeprex manufacturer, Danco Laboratories, reported.

The Ethics and Public Policy Center made the shocking discovery after analyzing Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and private medical insurance claims data. It discovered that between 2017 and 2023, approximately 692,873 women received 865,727 mifepristone prescriptions.

However, 10.9% or 94,605 of those prescriptions resulted in potentially life-threatening or serious adverse events, such as emergency room visits (4.7%), hemorrhage (3.3%), surgical abortion (2.8%), infection (1.3%), sepsis (0.1%), and other non-specific complications (5.68%) for women who had used the Kill Pill within 45 days. When adjusted for some women who suffer from “adverse events in multiple categories,” the rate of mifepristone-related complications was 10.93%. That rate is almost 22 times higher than the FDA’s reported 0.5%. 

Additionally, the observation window of 45 days was conservative at best since some complications occur as late as 72 days.

“This study is the statistical equivalent of a category 5 hurricane hitting the prevailing narrative of the abortion industry,” warned the Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson. “It reveals, based on real-world data, the shocking number of women who suffer serious medical consequences because of the abortion pill.”

The FDA arrived at its figure, which was crucial in approving the abortion pill, after analyzing ten clinical trials involving 30,966 women. However, the test subjects were hand-selected, pre-screened, “generally healthy women,” thus potentially not reflective of the general female population. 

Additionally, the tests used potentially outdate methods, and some were carried out outside the United States. Similarly, the EPPC study claims that the Kill Pill prescribers are not mandated to report adverse events unless the patient dies.

“The women in our dataset receive (or fail to receive) pre- and post-abortion healthcare of the real-world quality that prevails in the U.S. today, not the carefully controlled regimen of care that ordinarily prevails in a clinical trial,” the study blasted the FDA’s findings.

The Obama administration relaxed the requirements for obtaining the abortion pill by reducing the number of doctor visits, even allowing non-licensed individuals to prescribe the abortion pill. According to the study, a woman can receive the pill after “one telehealth visit” with any “approved healthcare provider” who does not necessarily have to be a physician. 

When Biden took over, he relaxed prescription requirements, allowing women to receive the pill by mail. Similarly, the administration cleared the way for independent pharmacies, such as Walgreens and CVS, to dispense the abortion pill, allowing women to “self-administer drugs obtained from a mail-order pharmacy,” the study notes.

Steve Bannon Blasts DOJ Over Epstein Files: “The Deep State Is Winning Right Now”

Steve Bannon Blasts DOJ Over Epstein Files "The Deep State Is Winning Right Now"

War Room host Steve Bannon expressed his frustration with the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) inaction, warning that the Deep State continues to hold the upper hand in government.

During a discussion with Jack Posobiec, Bannon cited the DOJ’s lack of visible progress on investigations and indictments.

“We’re not doing anything over at the Justice Department. I don’t see investigations, I don’t see indictments,” Bannon said, noting that the Pam Bondi-led department is now being diverted into investigating leaks surrounding America First Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“If the guys around Hegseth, if there’s indictments or investigations going on, and there’s no indictments, and there’s no release of the Epstein Files, and there’s no investigations of Brennan and the 51, and you’re not spending your time on that, but somehow [it] gets diverted over this, it is going to be a firestorm from the MAGA base,” Bannon said, in reference to former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan and the 51 intelligence officials who downplayed the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation in 2020.

“There has been no movement from the Justice Department,” Bannon stated.

“[N]ow they’re talking about… some investigation of the guys around Hegseth… you haven’t done your primary job, which is to take down the Deep State.”

“People, we are burning daylight!” he stressed.

“These people are playing smashmouth, they’re playing hardball, and the Deep State is winning right now!”

Watch:

Bannon’s concerns were echoed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, last month.

She criticized delays in releasing the Jeffrey Epstein client list and argued that previous setbacks had not instilled confidence in the public.

Following the release of the files, Luna took to X, writing:

“AG Pam Bondi, We saw over the weekend you are reviewing all files from JFK to Epstein! We are ALL anticipating their release! When will they be declassified and available to the public?”

“On Feb 11 & Feb 19, House Oversight sent a letter to the DOJ asking for status on releasing the Epstein files as well as JFK, etc. The DOJ has not responded. Reaching out on X because we can’t seem to get a response from the AG. AG Pam Bondi, what is the status of the documents? These documents were ordered to be declassified.”

New WHO Treaty Grants Sweeping Power Over Global Pandemic Response

New WHO Treaty Grants Sweeping Power Over Global Pandemic Response

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reportedly settled on the text for a legally binding treaty to enhance global preparedness for future pandemics.

The decision aims to prevent chaos and competition over resources, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pact also emphasizes rapid data sharing on emerging diseases, enabling pharmaceutical firms to accelerate the development of vaccines.

The WHO will now have a comprehensive view of global supply chains under the new pact.

WHO’s Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, described the agreement as “a significant milestone in our shared journey towards a safer world.”

Tedros also noted that the pact demonstrates nations’ ability to collaborate on common challenges.

The treaty is only the second in the WHO’s history, the first being the 2003 tobacco control agreement.

Approval is now being sought at the upcoming World Health Assembly.

Under the treaty, countries must ensure the global availability of pandemic-related medications. At the same time, manufacturers are required to allocate 20 percent of vaccine, therapeutic, and diagnostic production to the WHO — distribute 10 percent as donations, and offer the remainder at accessible prices.

However, the U.S. was absent from the closing negotiations following President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the health agency.

Earlier this month, Tedros urged Trump to undo his executive order and rejoin the UN-run agency.

Trump cited the agency’s failure to hold China accountable and its role in pushing “radical globalist health agendas” as key reasons for the decision.

Since then, the U.S. has halted all funding to the WHO, redirecting resources to domestic health initiatives that prioritize American interests.

Tedros said:

“I hope there will be some formal engagement for a very honest and candid dialogue for the U.S. to come back to the World Health Organization.

I’ve said it many times: the U.S. withdrawal from WHO is a lose-lose.

It’s in the best interest of the U.S. to stay in WHO. It’s a matter of health security — one that keeps the U.S. safe, and the rest of the world safe, by being part of the WHO.”

GOP Congressman to Sabotage Trump’s Tariff Authority with New Legislation

GOP Congressman to Sabotage Trump's Tariff Authority with New Legislation

RINO Congressman Rep. Don Bacon announced on Sunday that he will introduce new legislation to block President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs on countries that have taken advantage of the United States.

On Wednesday, Trump announced the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, and the worst offenders will be hit with even tougher measures.

The president proclaimed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” which will restore America’s economic independence, vitalize domestic manufacturing, and protect American jobs.

Trump also released a detailed chart that showed how American workers were being ripped off.

Bacon told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan that he will now introduce a new bill to halt Trump’s tariff agenda, modeled on legislation introduced by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and far-left Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA).

The Grassley-Cantwell bill requires Trump to notify Congress within 48 hours of imposing new tariffs and present a detailed rationale and analysis of the potential consequences for businesses and consumers.

The legislation will also require Congress to approve all tariffs within 60 days, or they will automatically expire.

“I support the legislation that Senator Grassley and Senator Cantwell (introduced),” Bacon told Brennan.

“I have some support on the House bill, which we will unveil tomorrow.”

Watch:

Bacon acknowledged that getting the bill through the House would face challenges, as House Speaker Mike Johnson is supporting Trump on tariffs.

However, Bacon is betting on Trump’s tariffs causing the markets to surge while inflation and unemployment could rise.

Bacon says if this happens, his bill will become “very viable.”

“It will be harder to pass this in the House, no doubt,” he stated.

“But if we get 60 votes in the Senate, it will pressure the House to look at this (bill).”

“If we continue to see the stock market go a certain direction or if we see inflation or unemployment shift in a bad way, this becomes a very viable bill,” he added.

“It will not pass tomorrow… But this will be in the queue we can use.”

Obama’s Swipe at Trump Backfires: MAGA Remembers

Obama's Swipe at Trump Backfires: MAGA Remembers

Former President Obama attempted some cheap shots at President Donald Trump at Hamilton College this week, which spectacularly backfired.

While he appeared to be pushing Democrat and media talking points, he also failed to realize that many within the MAGA movement remember his presidency.

NBC News reports:

Former President Barack Obama said he is “deeply concerned” with some of the actions that President Donald Trump and his administration have taken and seemed to call out the Republican Party for not pushing back on them…

Obama said he’s more troubled by a White House that takes aim at law firms that represent ideas or parties that its occupants disagree with, and that the administration has punished media outlets. Trump has signed executive orders penalizing major law firms and lawyers, prompting outrage within the legal community. The White House has also barred The Associated Press from coverage over its refusal to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

“That kind of behavior is contrary to the basic compact we have as Americans,” he said.

Obama suggested that Republicans would be outraged if he had done similar things as president.

“Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps,” he said, adding, “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me or a whole bunch of my predecessors.”

Big Government, Democrats

DNC Chair Announces New “Shadow Government” to Thwart Trump’s Agenda

DNC Chair Announces New "Shadow Government" to Thwart Trump's Agenda

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced a new “shadow government” dubbed the People’s Cabinet in an effort to derail President Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda.

The announcement came not long after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called for a “shadow government” to oppose Trump and advocated for what he called “alternate press conferences” to force Democrat-approved talking points on the public.

Days later, DNC Chair Ken Martin announced he is turning it into an official operation to thwart Trump.

The People’s Cabinet will consist of “experts, leaders, and everyday Americans,” while in reality, it’s nothing more than a bunch of bureaucrats and radical activists hell-bent on destroying America.

According to Martin, the project will counter “lies” and bring so-called “accurate information.”

In other words, they will spin more lies and disrupt Trump’s common-sense moves to fix the mess left by Joe Biden.

This is nothing but political subversion.

As Trump works to rebuild the economy and protect America’s future, Democrats are doing everything they can to disrupt his efforts.

Moreover, the featured names in the People’s Cabinet should tell you everything. Here are some — via The Gateway Pundit:

Robert Reich, a far-left economist and co-founder of a group that traffics in class warfare and fearmongering.
Mandela Barnes, who couldn’t win over voters in Wisconsin but is now being recycled to bash Trump’s policies on the national stage.
Heidi Heitkamp, a former senator who wants to lecture rural America after voters sent her packing.
Martin O’Malley, failed presidential hopeful, now reinvented as a “defender” of Social Security against imaginary threats.

The plan will also include “rapid response” efforts to attack Trump’s policies, disrupt his messaging, and suppress conservative voices online.

“I’ve been traveling across the country nonstop since I started this job, and what I hear over and over is that Americans want us to challenge Trump’s unimpeded lies, confront his reckless agenda, and offer a better alternative,” said DNC Chair Ken Martin.

“Trump has stacked his Cabinet with out-of-touch billionaires and know-nothing loyalists who are wreaking havoc on the lives of working people across this country, with total disregard for the harm they’re causing our families – from stripping away their health care coverage, to jacking up their costs at the grocery store, to putting the lives of service members at risk.
The People’s Cabinet is made up of experts, leaders, and everyday Americans from across the country who will equip communities with the reliable, accurate information they need to fight back against the worst of the Trump and Republican agenda.”

Trump Admin Reshapes Health Policy—FDA Leadership Faces Reckoning

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other key public health agencies are undergoing major leadership and structural changes following recent moves by the Trump administration and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The shake-up includes mass layoffs, agency leadership resignations, and public disputes over federal drug approval policies and vaccine regulation.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testifies on Jan. 29, 2025, at his Senate hearing on his nomination to be the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Earlier this week, HHS confirmed a reduction of 20,000 positions, accounting for approximately 24% of its workforce. As part of the restructuring, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reportedly placed five agency chiefs on administrative leave Monday.

Among those affected are leaders from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

These divisions have come under scrutiny for past research funding decisions, including grants related to Chinese labs and controversial gender research.

New NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, who was sworn in on Tuesday, informed staff in an internal email that the reorganization would require changes to the agency’s approach in areas such as communications, legislative affairs, procurement, and human resources.

He emphasized priorities like scientific transparency and academic freedom. NIH’s Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Amanda Fine, directed media outlets to file Freedom of Information Act requests to access the email, calling it an “official record.”

Nature reported that some of the NIH and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) staff were offered reassignment to the Indian Health Service.

NOTUS also confirmed that CDC officials had received similar transfer offers, particularly relocating away from the agency’s main office in Atlanta.

At the FDA, significant changes have drawn attention from the pharmaceutical industry.

Former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, who served in the Obama and Biden administrations and later worked in a strategic role for Google’s parent company Alphabet, wrote on LinkedIn that the agency “as we’ve known it is finished.”

He warned that a loss of experienced leadership could affect drug development and public safety.

Califf’s departure follows that of other top officials. Peter Marks, Director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), resigned last week.

Politico and the Associated Press reported that Marks was given the option to resign or be dismissed by Secretary Kennedy, with the approval of newly installed FDA Commissioner Marty Makary.

Marks’ March 28 resignation letter, addressed to acting Commissioner Sara Brenner, cited concerns about misinformation but did not mention the ultimatum.

Makary, whose swearing-in date was not specified in the FDA’s April 1 press release, has already made staffing changes.

On Wednesday, Danish-American vaccine safety researcher Tracy Beth Hoeg confirmed she was hired as a special assistant to Makary. Hoeg has publicly criticized federal COVID-19 research and vaccine policies, including the U.S. childhood immunization schedule.

Marks’ departure coincided with a sharp decline in the stock prices of several biotech firms. Companies like Moderna, Beam Therapeutics, and Sarepta Therapeutics saw significant single-day losses, according to the Wall Street Journal.

These companies are heavily invested in mRNA and gene therapy technologies, areas that Marks previously supported.

University of California San Francisco epidemiologist Vinay Prasad criticized Marks’ leadership, citing repeated approval of COVID-19 boosters for infants without randomized clinical trial data.

Registered Nurse Jaya Rawla prepares a Moderna COVID-19 vaccines at the Fuller Middle School vaccination clinic for Framingham school staff and teachers, March 18, 2021.

Stanford professor George Tidmarsh echoed those concerns, accusing Marks of prioritizing pharmaceutical industry interests over patient safety.

Both cited controversial FDA decisions, including the approval of aducanumab, an Alzheimer’s drug that has since been withdrawn. Critics argue it was authorized without adequate evidence and based on disputed scientific theories.

Bhattacharya raised similar concerns about NIH’s approach to Alzheimer’s research during his Senate confirmation hearing.

The broader restructuring of public health agencies comes amid increased scrutiny of federal science policy, pharmaceutical regulation, and administrative spending.

The administration has also moved to reduce indirect-cost payments on federal research grants, a policy that critics say disproportionately benefits institutional administrators over researchers.

The White House has not yet provided an official timeline for the full implementation of the staffing changes. Additional reassignments, restructuring, and appointments are expected in the coming weeks.

“It’s Horrible:” President Trump Warns of Shocking New Discovery by DOGE

'It's Horrible': President Trump Warns of Shocking New Discovery by DOGE

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had made a shocking discovery while praising Elon Musk‘s work under the agency.

The President was asked how long Musk would stay on board with the administration as a “special government employee,” and he responded, “Elon is fantastic. He’s a patriot.”

Trump added that Musk is allowed to stay “as long as he’d like,” while the commander-in-chief himself would prefer that he remain “as long as possible.”

“I like smart people, and he’s a smart person. I also like him, personally,” Trump commented.

“We’re in no rush. But there will be a point at which time Elon’s going to have to leave.”

Watch:

The President said DOGE’s work under Musk’s leadership is especially important, notably due to the recent discovery made earlier on Thursday.

“They found something today that is horrible. It is horrible,” Trump said.

“You will find out very soon. What they found is incredible.”

However, Trump did not reveal any further details about what they had found.

“Special government employees” like Musk are only allowed to work for the federal government for up to 130 days in a 365-day period, meaning the Tesla CEO’s time for the year would expire on May 30.

However, Trump floated the idea of appointing Musk to a more formal position, adding that “the secretaries” in his Cabinet are expected to take over the government efficiency effort once Musk departs.

“I’d keep him as long as I can keep him,” Trump said earlier this week, per Fox News.

“He’s a very talented guy. You know, I love very smart people. He’s very smart. And he’s done a good job.”

Trump’s remarks came after a false report from Politico claimed Musk would imminently leave the White House over frictions within the Trump team.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later responded to the report, calling it “garbage” on social media.

“Elon Musk and President Trump have both publicly stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete,” she said.

Trump confirmed that DOGE would remain in place until July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Elon Musk to Wrap Up DOGE Role on Schedule, Leavitt Fires Back at Media Spin

Elon Musk isn’t going rogue, and he’s certainly not being pushed out. Despite desperate attempts by left-leaning outlets like Politico to stir up drama, Musk’s tenure with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is unfolding exactly as planned, as reported by Fox News.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down the latest media rumor mill on Wednesday after Politico claimed President Trump had supposedly told confidants that Musk would be “stepping back” in the coming weeks.

Image Credit:https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/washington-february-22-2025-white-house-2589320081

According to Leavitt, there’s no scoop here—just spin.

“This ‘scoop’ is garbage. Elon Musk and President Trump have both publicly stated that Elon will depart from public service as a special government employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete.”

This is not breaking news. Musk’s appointment was always temporary.

President Trump brought Musk aboard as a “special government employee” under a federal provision that permits temporary assignments lasting no more than 130 days within a 365-day period. Musk’s clock started ticking on Inauguration Day—January 20—and it runs out May 30.

Since taking on the role, Musk has led DOGE with the kind of innovation and urgency that the D.C. swamp has sorely lacked. With a goal to slash a trillion dollars in government waste, the initiative has already delivered tangible results.

Elon Musk waving a chainsaw presented to him by Argentine President Javier Milei, right, at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md. at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event on Feb. 20, 2025 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.

President Trump signed the executive order forming DOGE to streamline bloated bureaucracies, and Musk jumped in with characteristic boldness.

During a Thursday interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Musk stayed on message. Asked whether he’d stick around past the 130-day limit, Musk replied, “I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frame.”

Watch the full interview here:

President Trump also weighed in on Musk’s future, hinting that while he’d love to keep the Tesla and SpaceX chief around, he understands the limits.

“I think he’s amazing. But I also think he’s got a big company to run. I’d keep him as long as I can keep him. He’s a very talented guy. You know, I love very smart people. He’s very smart. And he’s done a good job.”

As usual, legacy media outlets are less interested in facts and more focused on misleading narratives. White House spokesman Harrison Fields didn’t hold back:

“Politico has become a tabloid paper that would rather run fake news for clicks than real reporting. This is exactly why President Trump and DOGE have terminated millions of dollars in wasteful, government contracts to so-called news organizations that have diminished their credibility with the American people.”

Musk’s departure isn’t scandalous. It’s the conclusion of a mission that was designed to be short-term, effective, and impactful. Washington isn’t used to efficiency—but DOGE, under Musk’s leadership, is delivering just that.
