Over 10,000 UK women who took at-home abortion pills in 2020 were hospitalized, new study shows
from SPUC:
The investigation found that 5.9% of women required treatment because of incomplete abortions, with women retaining parts of their aborted babies.
The “devastating” truth about DIY home abortion has been revealed after freedom of information requests found that over 10,000 women required hospital treatment in England in 2020 after suffering serious complications.
An investigation, which included 85 freedom of information requests submitted to National Health Service (NHS) trusts, has shown that 1 in 17 women who used pills-by-post abortion services in 2020 suffered from side effects so severe that they required hospital treatment.
- 3% of women required surgical evacuation of the remains of an unborn child after abortion pill failure.
- 2.3% of women were treated for haemorrhages.
The complication rate mirrored similar studies and reports, with the investigation concluding that: “We can say that complications arising from the failure of the medical abortion treatment are common and should be planned for.”
