The protocols, if followed, are designed to provide the optimum level of safety for women doing chemical abortions. Planned Parenthood, after conducting its own study, claims there are no concerns.
Mailee Smith, a spokesperson for Americans United for Life, says the study was done using only Planned Parenthood's own patients – and only some of them.
"There is data missing for 45 percent of the women who underwent chemical abortions," Smith says. "That's a significant percentage and we don't know if those women had multiple chemical abortions, and so that skews the data considerably."
Another 15 percent never reported back to Planned Parenthood, so it's not known if they had complications.

"The study actually does no comparisons between the FDA-approved protocol and their misuse of the drugs," says Smith, who is an attorney. "They only look at their misuse of the drugs. And so there's no proper comparison between what the FDA has said is the only proper way to administer the drugs."
Smith alleges that Planned Parenthood's goal is not about women's health but the abortion business's financial gain.
