The abortion industry has been playing a shell game with the American people for years.
They've been quietly shifting tactics while keeping everyone in the dark.
And one poll just exposed how the abortion industry hid the truth from 76% of Americans.
Abortion pills now kill 60% of unborn babies but almost nobody knows it
A new Kaiser Family Foundation poll dropped a bombshell that should alarm every American who cares about protecting life.
Only 24% of adults knew that abortion pills now account for more than 60% of all abortions in America.¹
Let that sink in for a moment.
The abortion industry has completely transformed how they kill unborn children, and three out of four Americans had no idea it happened.
While Planned Parenthood was closing over 20 facilities after President Trump cut their Medicaid funding, they were already pivoting to a new business model.¹
Chemical abortion through pills like mifepristone became their cash cow.
No expensive facilities needed, no protesters outside clinics, and women could take pills at home without anyone knowing.
The poll revealed something even more encouraging for those fighting to protect life.
Public perception of these pills' safety has collapsed in just two years.
In 2023, 55% of Americans viewed abortion pills as safe when taken as directed.¹
By December 2025, that number plummeted to just 42%.¹
That's a 13-point drop showing Americans are waking up to the truth about chemical abortion's dangers.

The abortion lobby can't hide the evidence of harm anymore
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary announced in September that the FDA would conduct a full safety review of mifepristone.¹
The timing wasn't coincidental.
Groups like the Ethics and Public Policy Center have documented thousands of women reporting severe complications from these pills, including heavy bleeding, infections, and emergency medical interventions.³
But Kaiser Family Foundation, which claims to be non-partisan, still pushed the abortion industry's talking points in their poll analysis.
They insisted that "twenty-five years of mifepristone's availability in the U.S. has shown the medication is safe when taken as directed by a doctor or other health care provider."¹
Tell that to the women who ended up in emergency rooms hemorrhaging.
Tell that to the mothers who developed life-threatening infections.
The Biden administration had stripped away critical safety protocols like in-person consultations and follow-up care requirements.
President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill temporarily slashed Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses for one year, leading to over 20 facility closures.¹
But the abortion industry didn't go away—they just went digital.
Pro-life advocates are winning the education battle
Joy Stockbauer from the Family Research Council hit the nail on the head when she analyzed these poll results.
"I believe that Americans generally care about the health and well-being of women," Stockbauer told The Washington Stand. "Unfortunately, the pro-life movement is up against the abortion lobby, which pours endless dollars into messaging campaigns designed to frame abortion as female empowerment."²

She's right about the money.
The abortion industry has spent billions convincing women that killing their unborn children somehow liberates them.
But here's what gives pro-life advocates real hope.
That 13-point drop in public confidence about pill safety didn't happen by accident.
"This shift in public opinion is a very positive outcome for the pro-life movement and is indicative that our efforts to educate the American people are succeeding," Stockbauer explained.²
Think about what that means.
Despite the abortion lobby's endless cash and media cheerleading, regular Americans are learning the truth about chemical abortion through conversations with friends, information from pregnancy resource centers, and their own research.
The poll also revealed deep partisan divides, with 83% of Democrats and 65% of Independents opposing Medicaid funding cuts to abortion businesses.¹
But Republicans were split, with 55% supporting the cuts and 45% against.¹
Those numbers show there's still work to do educating Americans about where their tax dollars are going.
Stockbauer emphasized that cultural change on protecting life "isn't something that happens overnight — it will take consistency, time, and effort."²
But she highlighted something crucial about personal impact.
"Every conversation you have with someone in which you lovingly share the truth about abortion and the alternatives available to women makes a difference," Stockbauer said.²
And you know what? The numbers prove she's right.
When 13% more Americans have doubts about abortion pill safety in just two years, that's the result of countless pro-life advocates having difficult conversations, volunteering at pregnancy centers, and refusing to stay silent.
The abortion industry thought they could hide their chemical abortion takeover from the American people.
They thought wrong.
Stockbauer issued a call to action that every pro-life American should take to heart: "Continue volunteering at pregnancy resource centers, engaging in hard conversations with friends and family, and using social media as a positive tool for change."²
The truth about chemical abortion is breaking through despite the abortion lobby's best efforts to suppress it.
Women deserve to know the risks they're taking when they swallow these pills.
Unborn children deserve protection from an industry that's found a more profitable way to end their lives.
And Americans deserve to know that 60% of abortions now happen through pills that the public is increasingly recognizing as dangerous.
The fight to protect life continues, one conversation at a time.
