In an article by the Catholic News Agency, a group of ten scientists are suing Sage Publications in the Superior Court for Ventura County, California. The lawsuit alleges that the researchers’ studies showing the danger of the abortion pill were retracted because of the scientists’ pro-life views.
Three studies were published in the scientific journal Health Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology in 2019, 2021, and 2022. The 2021 study said that emergency room visits “are at greater risk to occur following a chemical rather than a surgical abortion.” It showed that of 423,000 women undergoing chemical abortions between 1999 and 2015, there were 121,283 subsequent emergency room visits occurring within 30 days of the procedure.
The study stated that there is a “distinct trend of a growing number of women miscoded as receiving treatment for spontaneous abortion in the ER following a chemical abortion.”
The study concluded that “the incidence and per-abortion rate of ER visits following any induced (chemical) abortion are growing, but chemical abortion is consistently and progressively associated with more postabortion ER visit morbidity than surgical abortion.”
