Many American women feel uninformed about the abortion pills\u2019 potential complications, according to a new Charlotte Lozier Institute study.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study \u2014 first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation \u2014 found that 52.5% of participants cited bleeding as the abortion-related complication they desired more information on than was provided during the informed consent process. Forty-eight percent said pain was the complication they desired more information about, compared to 33.7% who mentioned mental and emotional health.

Of those surveyed, 29.3%\u00a0said incomplete abortion with retained tissue was the complication they wanted more information about, compared to 21.3% who cited \u201cfailed abortion with continued living fetus,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese findings raise real questions about whether women are being given all the information they want and need to be fully informed,\u201d CLI Senior Research Associate Tessa Cox told the DCNF. \u201cOur results underscore a serious reality: Informed consent for abortion drugs needs to be far more than just a box to check. Given the broader context of the increasing availability of abortion drugs online and through the mail, there are serious ramifications, not only as the lives of unborn babies are ended by these drugs but also as women\u2019s safety is put at risk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe stakes are too high for informed consent to be treated as a formality,\u201d Cox continued.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CLI\u2019s research found that some of the most frequently listed complications women experienced were unexpected levels of bleeding and pain. Nearly 5% of respondents reported other abortion-related complications such as incomplete abortion with retained tissue and the need for additional treatment, the study shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis study\u2019s design allowed us to draw on two independent sources of evidence pointing in the same direction,\u201d CLI Associate Scholar Maka Tsulukidze told the DCNF in a statement. \u201cWhen findings converge like this, it gives us greater confidence that we are capturing something real about women\u2019s experiences. The goal of this research is to ensure that the evidence base for informed consent practices\u202ffor drug-induced abortions\u202fis as rigorous and complete as possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The emotional responses most commonly reported by participants included relief, sadness, anxiety, guilt, depression, stress and grief, according to the study. Nineteen percent of respondents reported feeling happiness, 17.4% said they felt regret, while 14.4% felt anger and 6.3% expressed a desire to stop or reverse the abortion, the poll shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis study\u2019s design allowed us to draw on two independent sources of evidence pointing in the same direction,\u201d CLI associate scholar and lead study author Maka Tsulukidze told the DCNF. \u201cWhen findings converge like this, it gives us greater confidence that we are capturing something real about women\u2019s experiences. The goal of this research is to ensure that the evidence base for informed consent practices\u202ffor drug-induced abortions\u202fis as rigorous and complete as possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The study also found that experiencing pain and bleeding was seemingly a \u201cpoint of confusion for many women,\u201d as they felt \u201cunsure whether their experience was \u2018normal\u2019 when it was just \u2018<\/span>spotting bleeding and light cramping\u2019 as they expected \u2018loads of blood and pain.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe findings from this research underscore the critical role of comprehensive information provision in the context of medication abortion,\u201d per the report. \u201cHealthcare providers should seek ways to enhance women\u2019s informed consent for medication abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An estimated 1,126,000 clinician-provided abortions were conducted in the U.S. in 2025, according to a Guttmacher Institute fact sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study\u2019s survey eligibility criteria included women aged 23 to 55 who obtained medication abortion in the U.S. The final sample included 508 women, 362 of whom responded to the survey.<\/span><\/p>\n
