Here’s what Fox Business reported:
A Las Vegas woman who dreamed of having a big family since her childhood was mistakenly given an abortion pill instead of IVF hormones by a CVS pharmacy, ending her pregnancy, and she said all she got was “sorry.”
According to a report by 8 News Now, Las Vegas resident Timika Thomas in 2019 wanted to add one more to her family of four. Thomas does not come from a big family, so as an adult, she and her husband wanted to make her dreams of a big family come true.
In her 30s, Thomas said she struggled getting pregnant. She had two ectopic pregnancies, which led to having her fallopian tubes removed, according to the report. Even though they were not insured for the costs they would endure, they decided to pay for invitro fertilization (IVF).
The report says that doctors sedated Thomas, inserted two eggs inside her body and sent her home with prescriptions, one of which would trick her body into producing enough hormones to kickstart her pregnancy.
8 News Now investigators obtained documents that outline how two technicians and two pharmacists made a series of errors that led to Thomas being given the wrong medication, which essentially terminated her budding pregnancy on the spot.
“They just killed my baby,” she said to herself at the time. “Both my babies, because I transferred two embryos.”
A woman’s very much wanted babies are dead because CVS wanted the payday they KNEW they would get from selling abortion pills.
We said this would happen with deregulating mifepristone. Get ready to see it happen more often. pic.twitter.com/dHemTlEi5O— L*ttie J*wpree: the hebrew hammer (@prolifejewess) October 5, 2023
Per People:
A Las Vegas woman undergoing IVF to expand her family was mistakenly given abortion medication — not fertility medication — by her local pharmacy, terminating her pregnancy in its early stages.
“They just killed my baby,” Tamika Thomas told 8 News Now. “Both my babies, because I transferred two embryos.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe mom of 4 had been undergoing in vitro fertilization, a lengthy process in which fertilized embryos are implanted in the uterus to lead to a successful pregnancy, according to the Mayo Clinic. She and her husband had turned to IVF after having her Fallopian tubes removed, and they had paid for the expensive procedure out-of-pocket.
Thomas had just had two embryos transferred when she went to pick up medication to help her body “think it’s pregnant.”
