Please let me take a moment to update you on some new research regarding the abortion pill and two important legal matters that impact all who care about the value of every life.
The Ethics & Public Policy Center just released new research regarding the dangers of the abortion pill. This group examined the insurance claim records of 865,727 women who had an abortion pill abortion from 2017 – 2023. Records indicate that 11% of women who used the abortion pill had serious complications that required an emergency room visit or hospitalization. These complications included sepsis, infection, or hemorrhaging within 45 days of the mifepristone abortion. This data starkly contradicts the FDA’s repeated false claim that less than 0.5% of women have serious complications related to the abortion pill. It also shows the deceitfulness of the abortion industry that claims that the abortion pill is safer than over-the-counter pain relief medication. This study recommends significant, immediate changes to the manner in which abortion pill medication is made available. We are thankful that current and well-sourced research demonstrates the truth that abortion harms women – all of the women who are aborted and some of the women who have pill abortions.
Next, you may have heard that the US District Seventh Circuit Court just issued a long-awaited decision on the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act. Judge Johnston upheld a key provision which has gutted conscience protections and attempts to require Illinois-based pro-life pregnancy centers to refer for abortion. A stay and injunction were immediately issued and this finding is being appealed. Regardless of this latest attempt to force a pro-abortion agenda, Pregnancy Resources will continue to offer life-affirming help, hope, and compassion in the name of Jesus Christ!
Finally, on May 31, 2025, Illinois HB 3709 passed both the House and Senate and now awaits the governor’s signature. This legislation will mandate university campuses to provide, prescribe, and promote the abortion pill as part of their “student health services.”
Rest assured, Pregnancy Resources will never promote abortion as healthcare, and Pregnancy Resources will never encourage or refer for abortion. Like you, we care about moms, about dads, and about the pre-born. We know that abortion harms women and we know that from the moment of conception every life has intrinsic value. Please join us in making these most current developments a matter of prayer.
