Woman’s Horrific Abortion Pill Story Ignites Nationwide Ban Push in Congress
Clear Facts
- Elizabeth Gillette shared her traumatic mifepristone experience at Sen. Josh Hawley’s press conference.
- She saw her unborn baby’s eyes, limbs, and ears after expulsion and flushed it in distress.
- Hawley introduced legislation banning mifepristone abortions and enabling lawsuits against makers.
Elizabeth Gillette testified Wednesday about the devastating effects of the abortion drug mifepristone. Pressured by her boyfriend in her 20s, she took the pill expecting minor bleeding but faced unimaginable horror.
“That was so different from the double period and the extra clotting that they told me that I would experience,” she said. “And in that moment, I had to decide if I was going to throw my child in the trash or flush my child down the toilet, and I chose to flush him into a septic tank.”
The ordeal triggered lifelong post-traumatic stress disorder for Gillette. Nightmares plague her with visions of dying people and cries from infants in trash cans and toilets.
“And instead of relief, I got horrible nightmares that started, where I would see people dying and people being murdered,” she said. “I would hear infants crying in the trash cans when I walked by them, I would hear infants crying in the toilet. I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, which I still suffer from this day.”
Sen. Hawley announced his bill amid rising abortion rates post-Roe v. Wade overturn. Mifepristone shipments via mail, shielded by leftist laws, bypass red state protections and fuel the surge.
“There are more abortions now in the United States than there were when Roe was still the law of the land,” Hawley said. “It is time for Congress to ban the use of mifepristone for abortion.”
“Only Congress can address this situation. Only Congress is placed to regulate the flow of interstate drugs,” he added.
The measure allows harmed women to sue manufacturers. Rep. Diana Harshbarger introduced a House companion bill.
Pro-life leaders urge repealing Biden regulations enabling mail delivery without doctor visits. The FDA upholds these rules despite safety concerns.
Time for Congress to protect traditional values and unborn lives from this fatal drug.
