Segment 4 – Study: Abortion Drugs and Emergency Department Visits
The study, titled “Comparative Acuity of Emergency Department Visits Following Pregnancy Outcomes Among Medicaid Eligible Women, 2004-2015,” confirms the risks of abortion drugs, presenting data that highlights their adverse effects on women. The study focused on ED visits within 30 days of a pregnancy outcome—whether use of abortion drugs (mifepristone and misoprostol), surgical abortion, or live birth—and compared them to visits by women who were not pregnant.Â
