Which is Really More Dangerous, Hydroxychloroquine or the Abortion Pill?

While the media continues to express concern over the use of hydroxychloroquine, why is there not equal concern over the use of the abortion pill? The conclusion on the appropriate use of hydroxychloroquine when treating the coronavirus may still be in question, but there is no doubt that the abortion pill kills.
In the United Kingdom, a leaked email from the National Health Service (NHS) revealed that women have experienced extreme complications or died as a result of the government’s decision to allow women to receive the abortion pill by mail. (The U.S. has adopted a similar measure that would allow women to receive the abortion pill without visiting a clinic or hospital.)
According to the email, there has been an “escalating risk around the ‘Pills by Post’ process for TOP (termination of pregnancy) during Covid, especially the process linked to three independent providers, BPAS, Marie Stopes and NPAS.”
Marie Stopes International is a noted pro-abortion organization with ties to International Planned Parenthood Federation and the United Nations Population Fund.
There were apparently 13 incidents related to the “Pills by Post” process, including two maternal deaths. The email reports, “The incidents in (redacted) range between women attending ED with significant pain and bleeding related to the process through to ruptured ectopic (pregnancies), major resuscitation for major hemorrhage and the delivery of infants who are up to 30 weeks’ gestation. There was also a near miss where a woman had received the pills by post and then wished for a scan so attended a trust and was found to be 32 weeks. There are 3 police investigations in (redacted) linked to these incidents and one of those is currently a murder investigation as there is a concern that the baby was live born. The PM is being undertaken by a home office pathologist.”
What is detailed in this letter written by the NHS Regional Chief Midwife is incredibly disturbing.
The abortion pill should never be given to women with ectopic pregnancies, as this is a potentially fatal complication and easy to determine with an examination.
It also appears like some women either lied or did not know how far along they were in their pregnancies. The abortion pill should only be used for women up to the 10th week of pregnancy, but this letter reveals that some women received the abortion pill past the 30th week of pregnancy.
This meant that some of the babies were born alive, as there is an investigation to determine whether one woman actually killed her baby after birth when the abortion pill failed.
Yet, despite all this evidence of problems with the abortion pill, which is known as Mifepristone, it is still referred to consistently as “safe” by abortion activists and physicians are now being encouraged to provide it without examining the patients for complications like ectopic pregnancies.
What’s interesting is how some members of the media continue to argue that hydroxychloroquine is so dangerous that it “kills people,” as one CNN anchor stated in an argument with a member of the Donald Trump campaign.
Like every medication, hydroxychloroquine has side effects like headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting and rash. It has more serious complications as well, some that could result in hospitalizations, especially when it comes to heart-related issues. Yet, there are some indications that the medication is useful in treating COVID.
In comparison, the abortion pill is designed and used solely to kill a preborn baby and could lead to serious life-threatening complications for the mother.
As scientists and researchers continue to debate and examine the usefulness of hydroxychloroquine when treating COVID-19 patients, the professionals should not ignore the obvious threats of the abortion pill. Based on what authorities have found in Britain, not only is the abortion pill dangerous but deadly to the babies and the women.
