Statement by Louis Brown, Jr., Esq, Executive Director of the Christ Medicus Foundation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 1, 2025

A new comprehensive study released on Monday conclusively shows that chemical abortions are 22 times more dangerous than the FDA previously has acknowledged and extremely harmful to women.
As the report asserts, it is the largest known study of the abortion pill and is based on data from over 800,000 prescribed Mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023. In this alarming report, over 10 percent of women who used Mifepristone experienced adverse events including sepsis, infection, and other serious issues within 45 days of taking this product. The clear medical evidence shows that chemical abortions are extraordinarily unsafe and seriously harmful to the health of women across America.
The report confirms that the woke abortion industry, Big Pharma, and entrenched elements at the FDA have placed woke ideology and profits over the health and safety of women. It is incumbent upon the Trump Administration and the current FDA to reinstate higher safety protocols around Mifepristone and to seriously consider taking this unsafe product off the market. Mifepristone is literally the antithesis of making America healthy again.
I encourage everyone to review this comprehensive study on Mifepristone. This report underscores the vital need to reclaim the health care industry for a culture of life that is truthful and protects the dignity of every woman.
The Christ Medicus Foundation will be steadfast in working with its many strategic allies to build a culture of life in health care that protects the health, safety, and dignity of every patient and consumer in health care regulations, in the health care marketplace, and in health care financing.
