Summary: The commenter argues that the FDA should more thoroughly research medications used for contraception and abortion to ensure informed consent regarding the risks to the mother and the "unwanted life." They express opposition to the current practices, suggesting that the protection of the mother should not come at the expense of the life being formed.
I kindly ask that the fda more thoroughly research the medication allegedly used to empower its user to consent being a parent rather than follow their biological flow through birth. The value of life forming has no dignity in this process at the very least it would be not a cruel thing to advise the reluctant mothers using the pill as to risk and benefit, and thus informed consent. I am sure this is an oversight as protection of the mother is the pretext for their right to end forming life. But to do this at the expense of the mother bearing the unwanted life is forcing us to consider “what it is we are really protecting?” I know it is not the mothers empowerment as 10% risk is unacceptable.
