I nearly died after taking abortion drugs — they don't belong in the mail
Key takeaways
- No number of slogans or activists could help me in that moment.
- That is why the ruling from the federal court to pause mail-order abortion drugs nationwide is nothing short of monumental.
- I am now 25 years old, working as a sterile processing surgical technician while pursuing my nursing degree.
Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
No number of slogans or activists could help me in that moment. What I remember is the blood, the pain and the terrifying realization that when everything went wrong, I was completely on my own.
That is why the ruling from the federal court to pause mail-order abortion drugs nationwide is nothing short of monumental. For the first time, a court has forced the FDA to answer for a reckless COVID-era policy that put women and their children directly in harm s way. Mailing dangerous abortion drugs with no in-person examination, no meaningful safeguards and no regard for state law was never about women s health. It was about politics.
I am now 25 years old, working as a sterile processing surgical technician while pursuing my nursing degree. But during my freshman year of college, I became pregnant and decided to take abortion drugs.
