Today Dr. Donna Harrison, OBGYN and president of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) continues explaining the medical perspective and science behind ella, the abortion drug approved by the FDA on August 13th, misleadingly labeled as an emergency contraceptive (EC).

In this short clip Dr. Harrison discusses the different ways ella can work, i.e., “modes of action”. She addresses how ella works in a woman’s body before ovulation, after a baby is fertilized and also after an embryo has implanted. Dr. Harrison also explains how ella’s label as an EC is misleading.

For more information watch the clip below. Please send this information to the women you know. Women who deserve to know the truth about ella — how it will work in their bodies and on their babies.
