Malta abortionists want women to lie about abortion pill complications while claiming it’s safe

Abortionists in the U.S. have been telling women to lie to ER doctors about taking the abortion pill for decades, even when Roe was the law of the land, and even today, when pro-life laws do not contain penalties for women. Now, abortionists in Malta are saying the same.

Instructing women to lie has nothing to do with shielding women and everything to do with protecting abortion and their own self-interests.

Key Takeaways:

• Abortionists in Malta are telling women to lie about taking the abortion pill when they experience complications and go to an emergency room.

• Lying about taking the abortion pill skews data — making the abortion pill appear safe and pregnancy dangerous.

• Abortion workers in Malta claim that serious abortion pill complications are rare, which is impossible to know since the complications aren’t being accurately reported.

• The abortion pill carries the risk of hemorrhage, infection, incomplete abortion, sepsis, and death.

The Details:

An article published in MaltaToday on August 3 claims that women are being told to lie about taking the abortion pill out of “necessity” to prevent women from facing potential prosecution. But there are no laws requiring a doctor to report a woman’s abortion.

All preborn children were protected from abortion in Malta until 2023, when parliament approved a bill allowing abortion when the mother’s life is at risk. At least five children have since been aborted there.

What abortionists are saying in Malta

American abortionists have been telling women to lie to ER doctors about the abortion pill for years, and in doing so, they have successfully skewed the data to make the abortion pill appear safer than it is, and pregnancy more dangerous than it is. Malta abortionists are following suit.

Abortion workers interviewed for the article claim that serious abortion pill complications are rare, which would be impossible to know since the complications aren’t being accurately reported.

Natalie Psaila Stabile, who runs an abortion doula support service, advised women who take the abortion pill, “If you need to go to hospital, you should never tell anyone that you’ve taken abortion pills.” She told women to even “show sadness, upset, and disappointment” over their fake miscarriages.

Psaila Stabile added, “I apologise for asking you to lie and act falsely, but this is the only way to keep you and your loved ones safe.”

Her mother, Isabella Stabile, runs the abortion doula support service with her and appears to be the go-to pro-abortion source for MaltaToday, as the outlet has interviewed her in the past. She claimed that the abortion pill, which includes mifepristone and misoprostol, is “very safe.”

“But there are, for a variety of reasons, the one-off cases where heavy bleeding occurs and the person would require hospitalisation,” she said.

So in one breath, women are told to lie about the complications, and in the next, they are told the abortion pill is safe.

Protecting abortion

Having women lie about taking the abortion pill has nothing to do with the illegality of abortion. Abortionists in the U.S. have been telling women to lie for years — even when Roe v. Wade reigned and abortion was completely legal in every state until at least “viability.”

This isn’t about protecting women. It’s about protecting abortion.

As reported by Live Action Research Fellow Carole Novielli, it was “decades ago” that the abortion industry began encouraging women to lie about their abortion pill complications.

“This protected the drug instead of the women themselves,” she explained, “and led to the rollback of safeguards surrounding the drug.”

The FDA’s medication guide states that as many as seven percent (7%) of women will require surgery after taking the abortion pill “to stop bleeding” or to complete an incomplete abortion. In 2023, that would add up to as many as 45,000 women. This is not “rare.”

Novielli noted:

If the abortion industry is acknowledging these abortion pill complications are resulting in ER visits, and 40,000 women are going to the ER for (as they claim) very minimal reasons, this is an indictment on the industry itself.

It is an indictment on the fact that prescribers who receive money from their abortion pill clients are now just ‘patient dumping’ them at the ER. They are telling women in advance to go to the ER if experiencing abortion pill complications and lie to medical personnel, claiming they are experiencing a natural miscarriage.

These abortionists are abandoning their patients, not helping them. This isn’t health care, said Novielli, it’s pill pushing. And it protects the abortion pill and abortionists, not women.

The abortion industry has encouraged women to lie about their abortion pill complications when visiting the ER for decades. This deception has misled women—and the rest of the public—about the drug’s actual risks: ➡️ Sepsis ➡️ Infection ➡️ Hemorrhage ➡️ Ectopic pregnancy ➡️

Like American abortionists, abortionists in Malta are likely not worried about women facing legal issues from having an abortion but about protecting their own interests. If the truth got out about the dangers of the abortion pill, fewer women might buy it, and sales might decline.

The Bottom Line:

By encouraging women to lie, the safety data on the abortion pill is skewed, and that fake data can be used to promote the abortion pill as safe.

In reality, the abortion pill includes risks of hemorrhage, infection, incomplete abortion, sepsis, and death. But years of deception in the U.S. led the FDA to lift safeguards that had been in place on the abortion pill for two decades, putting even more women at risk of complications. The same may happen in Malta if abortion enthusiasts get their way.
