Since the Dobbs decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion back to the states, numerous states, including Kentucky, have enforced pro-life laws to protect the preborn from the evil of abortion. Unfortunately, in order to circumvent these states, the abortion industry has doubled down on promoting the dangerous abortion death pill to continue killing preborn children in the womb and putting the health of mothers at risk.
In short, the plan being executed is to mail abortion death pills across prolife state lines, so women can obtain the deadly pill, Mifepristone, and abort their child. Sadly, the new game plan has been proven to be effective for the abortion cartel, even in pro-life states. Recently, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a peer-reviewed study tragically revealing that 84% of chemical abortion pills were mailed into states that have protections for the preborn. The Biden Administration is largely responsible for this proliferation of the abortion pill after it authorized mail-order abortion pills—reversing longstanding policy that prohibited such shipments while also removing safety protocols for the mother.
Earlier this year, the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) released a new groundbreaking study revealing the dangers associated with chemical abortions. The research found that nearly 11% of mothers who have an abortion using Mifepristone suffer from extremely serious life-threatening conditions and that women are 22 times more likely to be harmed by the abortion pill than the FDA suggests. And these harms to mothers only compound the harm of killing your own preborn baby.
Twenty-two state Attorneys General recently sent a joint letter to the Trump Administration pleading with the President to reverse Biden’s pro-death policies. As of now, President Trump has taken no action to end the proliferation of the abortion pill, allowing abortionists to continue to circumvent pro-life laws.
We hope and pray this letter and the support of other pro-life leaders will spur the administration to action on this issue. Further, pro-life states, including Kentucky, must look to pass strong legislation to crack down on traffickers who seek to violate their life-saving pro-life laws, including designating Mifepristone as a controlled substance.
