Senator Hawley's Remarks @ Kingdom Come Conference

If it's fatal to the child in almost 100% of cases, it's also life threatening to the mother. In 11% of cases. More than 1 in 10. Let me tell you something the abortion industry will never tell you. In more than one in 10 cases, a woman who takes the drug Mifeprestone for an abortion will end up in the emergency room herself with a serious life-threatening condition. I'm talking about internal bleeding, hemorrhaging. I'm talking about internal infections, sepsis. More than one in ten. Do you know, some of you might remember the old drug Vioxx, that was an anti inflammatory drug. (29:53–30:03)

CLAIM

Asserts that over 10% of women taking Mifeprestone experience life-threatening conditions.
