June 4, 2021: Anaphylactic Reaction and Death for 22-year-old

Grok AI illustration

“Clara” was given the RU486 abortion pill and then misoprostol for a legal chemical abortion. She suddenly suffered what is listed as a “probable anaphylactic medication reaction” and died on June 4, 2021. She was only 22.

Clara may have had a lethal allergy to one or more components of the chemical abortion, especially since mifepristone and misoprostol were both listed as the “suspect product active ingredient” for her reaction. If this was the case, giving the drugs under medical supervision or administering a simple skin application test could have detected the allergy and prevented her death. However, there have been documented cases of mifepristone or misoprostol-induced anaphylactic shock even in those who did not have a suspected allergy, which is another reason why the common and legal practice of instructing an abortion client to self-administer the drugs at home is extremely reckless. Although her death was dubbed an accident, it was certainly one that could have been prevented.

The FDA did not count Clara’s death during the reporting period when she died. It would be almost another year before they even learned of her death at all.
