“I Nearly Died” and Here’s Why. . .

Mar 14, 2025

When Shanyce learned she was pregnant in college, her boyfriend was supportive. But that quickly changed.  

Under pressure, Shanyce went to Planned Parenthood where she was given an abortion pill. “I thought it was fine. ... It’s a quick pill,” she said. 

But after taking the second pill, it kind of felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach.The pain became unbearable, she said. 

Shanyce returned to Planned Parenthood and was given an ultrasound, only to be misdiagnosed as having an empty uterus. But that was far from the truth. Shanyce’s condition deteriorated to the point that her skin turned blue.  

At the emergency room, they told me I still have the remains of the child left.” She began vomiting and developed a high fever. 

Shanyce developed sepsis and was placed in an induced coma. She underwent three surgeries in two hospitals and remained in ICU on a breathing tube with blood transfusions. She ended up having a partial hysterectomy.

Planned Parenthood is well known for coaching people like Shanyce to lie to ER doctors by omitting any information about the abortion pill and to just tell the ER you are having a “miscarriage”.

And as taxpayers, we sent 699.3 million dollars to Planned Parenthood alone last year. Your tax dollars are aiding and abetting these lies. End this abuse with your faxes today urging Congress to STOP funding to ALL PLANNED PARRENTHOODS and other abortion providers. 

A professor of obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Daniel Grossman, teaches how to preform abortions. He allegedly told a reporter at The Atlantic that if women using these [at-home abortion] regimens experience heavy bleeding or some other complication, they are generally advised to go to a hospital and say they had a miscarriage (emphasis added). 

This means that medical reporting will not recognize serious situations like what Shanyce went through as a complication of the abortion pill. This lie allows them to claim that pregnancy is more dangerous than an abortion.  

Shanyce nearly died. She required physical therapy to step in and out of the shower. How to brush my teeth. Chew. I had to learn how to walk again ... to write [and even to] talk”.

Shanyce had to drop out of college for that semester because of her long road to recovery. She suffered severe depression and required counseling. 

And we paid off the company that did this to her, with our hard-earned tax dollarshundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood! 

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has been tasked with cutting between 800 billion and 1.2 trillion dollars from its budget. Direct funding or funding through Medicaid comes through this committee. 

It’s a no-brainer to cut out abortion funding!  

Urge Congress to stop funding Planned Parenthood and abortion.

This is not the first controversy involving Dr. Grossman. He is also tied to clinical trials pushing to expand the distribution of the abortion pill by removing safety requirements known as REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies).  

This comes as no surpriseDanco (The Packard Foundation) funded other Grossman-authored studies. In other words, the investors “behind the studies attempting to do away with FDA safety requirements for the abortion pill stand to gain a significant amount of money if those requirements are removed, Live Action reveals.

There is no reason to fund abortion. Make your voice heard on Capitol Hill to end abortion funding!
