The fetus-killing drug mifepristone was handed out without any rules or limits at Russia's pharmacies but the nation's Health Ministry is clamping down under a new designation that lists it among narcotics and psychotropic drugs.
Dr. Randall K. O'Bannon, of the National Right to Life Committee, tells AFN women in Russia must now obtain a prescription under a doctor’s supervision. He calls that a “very interesting” development because the United States, under the FDA, is moving in the opposite direction.
“The Biden administration and their FDA have continually been promoting the further expansion of use of the abortion pill and specifically dropping safety regulations that are out there," he advises.
Ingesting mifepristone can lead to death if there is a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and there is always the chance of severe bleeding that leads to infection.
“You bleed more from a chemical abortion than you do from a surgical abortion. Most people aren't aware of that,” O’Bannon warns.
