When a new study reveals that the abortion pill is 22 times more dangerous than previously reported, it should shake us to the core. With nearly 11% of women experiencing serious complications—including hemorrhaging, sepsis, and emergency surgeries—this is not the story we’ve been told. But as shocking as these numbers are, they are not the greatest reason to oppose the abortion pill.
In the newest LifeChat, Roland Warren invites us to look beyond the headlines and ask the deeper question: Why are we fighting to restrict the abortion pill? If we focus only on the harm it causes women, we risk getting exactly what we don’t want—a “safer” pill that still ends the life of an unborn child. The pro-life argument must be rooted in moral clarity, not political reaction. We are not seeking a better method of destruction; we are advocating for an entirely different solution—one that values both mother and child because it comes from the heart of God.

Key Points from this LifeChat:
The Ethics and Public Policy Center released a report that analyzed commercial insurance data from more than 860,000 patients between the years of 2017 and 2023, the patients were prescribed mifepristone, also known as the abortion pill.
Roland says in the newest LifeChat: “The biggest problem with the abortion pill is not that it harms women. The biggest problem with the abortion pill is that it kills babies.”
“If we don’t focus on the fact that it kills children, what we might end up getting for our efforts is a safer abortion pill.”
Roland explains: “We don’t want a better abortion pill. We don’t want a better final solution. We want a different solution entirely—one that comes from the throne of God.”
