(LifeSiteNews) — In 2026, abortion activists are still attempting to persuade the public that the baby in the womb is not a baby. In a blog post last month titled “How can I tell if my abortion worked?”, Planned Parenthood assured women that “early in pregnancy, the pregnancy tissue looks similar to dryer lint, which, mixed in with blood, is often not very noticeable.”

As Live Action News pointed out—and as I have covered in this space many times—the experiences of women who actually take the abortion pill are often very different. As one woman wrote online: “I… I think I just saw the fetus. Exactly 8 weeks. I took the pills a couple hours ago… And it came out, with the worst cramps I’ve ever felt. It was immediate relief, but, it didn’t go down the drain and I saw it, the little eye and everything.”

No one in the same state as me even knows I was pregnant, the only person I told chastised me for being so dumb and irresponsible…I think that ****** me up pretty badly, mentally.

Another woman, Christina, got the abortion pill at Planned Parenthood and was told it would result in a “heavy period.” It didn’t. “When I turned around, there it was in the sac and everything,” she said. “I broke open the sac and held the helpless little baby in my hand. I cried and felt like I had just murdered someone so innocent. I regretted it 100% after that night.”

A study examining the reaction of women who took the abortion pill also highlights how deceptive Planned Parenthood’s assurances are. Here are just a few of the testimonies:

“I felt her come out[.]”

“I was in so much pain on the bathroom floor.”

“The pills made me vomit, lose control of my bowels, sweat, faint, pass out, and go into full labor.”

“They told me it wouldn’t hurt and I wouldn’t feel a thing. THAT WAS SUCH A LIE. I felt everything, I heard everything, I seen everything. I ended up blacking out from the pain and puking all over myself.”

“I knew to expect blood clotting, but nothing could’ve prepared me for seeing her body. It was the color of my own skin, and was actually starting to look like a person.”

“We were told we would go back to normal and it won’t affect us but they were wrong!!! All I feel is emptiness and hatred. I used to be the happiest most positive girl. All I want is to take it back.”

Planned Parenthood also ignores a 2025 study indicating that one in 10 women who take the abortion pill suffers an “adverse event”; as a 2024 First Things essay “The Case Against the Abortion Pill” indicates, the medical establishment has studiously ignored the impact of pill abortions for ideological reasons.

In fact, as I reported last year, abortion pill sellers actually use photos of aborted babies to prove to purchasers that their product works. Abortion pills do not “induce a heavy period.” They kill babies. That is what they are for. If a woman is pregnant with a wanted child, she will find videos like this detailing what her baby looks like at 8 weeks:

But if she does not want her baby, Planned Parenthood will tell her that her baby, at that stage, is still “very similar to dryer lint.” They are lying, and the medical establishment has known for decades that they are lying. But in order to kill babies, we must first kill the truth—and that is why pregnancy apps will tell you one thing, and Planned Parenthood will tell you something else entirely.

Or, as one woman who took the abortion pill wrote: “I knew to expect blood clotting, but nothing could’ve prepared me for seeing her body. It was the color of my own skin, and was actually starting to look like a person.”
