Haile McAnally Urges Curbs on Abortion Pills After Hospitalization, Citing 1-in-10 Risk Study

Summary
Capitol Hill meetings begin Thursday as Haile McAnally and other women allied with Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America press lawmakers to restrict mail-order access to mifepristone.
McAnally says the push stems from her own abortion-pill experience after high school, when severe bleeding left her unconscious in a bathtub and hospitalized for a blood transfusion.
She argues the clinic downplayed risks, describing staff as giving minimal medical screening and telling her the process would feel like a more intense period before she took the second pill at home.
The lobbying effort lands in a still-volatile post-Roe abortion fight, with studies sharply diverging: JAMA Internal Medicine found 0.6% of mail-order users were hospitalized, while the Ethics and Public Policy Center put serious adverse events at 1 in 10.
