If you are pregnant and believe someone may have given you abortion drugs without your knowledge or consent, you are not crazy.
Unfortunately, reports of abortion pill poisoning, reproductive coercion, and forced abortions continue to emerge across the United States. Women have reported discovering abortion drugs hidden in food or drinks, being given pills under false pretenses, having medications swapped, or being pressured and manipulated into taking abortion drugs against their wishes.
Many women who contact the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline describe a troubling pattern. They knew something felt wrong, but the people around them dismissed their concerns, told them they were imagining things, or insisted they were overreacting.
If something does not feel right, trust yourself. Your concerns deserve to be taken seriously.
What Is Reproductive Coercion?
Reproductive coercion occurs when someone attempts to control your pregnancy decisions through pressure, threats, manipulation, deception, or violence.
This may include:
- Pressuring you to have an abortion you do not want.
- Threatening to leave you if you continue your pregnancy.
- Hiding or destroying prenatal vitamins or medical records.
- Secretly administering abortion drugs.
- Swapping medications.
- Putting pills into food or drinks.
- Lying about what a medication is.
- Controlling your access to healthcare.
- Monitoring your phone, internet activity, or communications.
Research has shown that reproductive coercion is frequently linked to domestic violence and abusive relationships.
Warning Signs of an Abusive Relationship
Abusive partners often seek control. Warning signs may include:
- Constant monitoring of your whereabouts.
- Isolating you from family and friends.
- Controlling money or transportation.
- Threatening self-harm if you do not comply.
- Pressuring you to terminate your pregnancy.
- Reading your messages or tracking your phone.
- Belittling or humiliating you.
- Making you feel afraid to disagree.
If these behaviors sound familiar, help is available. Call or connect with the National Domestic Violence Hotline at TheHotline.org or 800-799-SAFE (7233). Advocates are also available to chat 24/7.
What Should I Do If I Suspect I Was Poisoned With Abortion Drugs?
Seek Medical Care Immediately
If you are experiencing bleeding, cramping, abdominal pain, dizziness, fainting, or any symptoms that concern you, seek emergency medical attention. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Tell Medical Staff Exactly What You Suspect
You can say:
“I am pregnant and believe someone may have given me abortion drugs without my knowledge or consent.”
Or:
“I am concerned that I may have been poisoned with mifepristone or misoprostol.”
Be direct. Medical professionals need accurate information to provide appropriate care.
Preserve Evidence
If possible:
- Save any pills, packaging, or containers.
- Keep text messages, emails, voicemails, and social media messages.
- Take screenshots.
- Write down dates, times, conversations, and symptoms.
- Do not delete evidence, even if someone asks you to.
Contact Law Enforcement
Administering drugs to someone without their knowledge or consent may be a crime. If you believe you were poisoned or assaulted, report the incident to local law enforcement.
When speaking with police, consider stating:
“I believe someone intentionally gave me abortion drugs without my consent.”
“I would like this documented and investigated.”
Request a copy of any police report that is filed.
