Abortion Survivor Data:
If you are looking for actual numbers to show how many infants survive abortion and the impact that born-alive legislation can have, visit our data page. You will find how we determined that approximately 2 out of every 1,000 abortions result in an accidental live birth. These numbers indicate how vital and relevant legislation that protects both the unborn and survivors of abortion is in the United States.
Medication Abortion Data:
Medication abortion, also known as a “medical abortion,” “abortion with pills,” or “at-home abortion,” has been increasingly used as an alternative to surgical abortion in the early stages of pregnancy. There are many potential risks and side effects associated with this procedure–especially when the pills are taken at home. One risk includes the possibility of a continuing pregnancy where the infant is met with various health challenges resulting from the abortion attempt. Defects of a continued developing fetus are referred to as teratogenicity. Learn more about medication abortion at the link below.
Request an Interview With an Abortion Survivor:
Speaking to someone who has experienced firsthand the physical and emotional effects of abortion as an infant can be a powerful way to gain a deeper understanding of the issue and to help spread awareness. You are invited to sit across from a survivor, whether in person or virtually.
