Pro-Life Group Highlights Abortion Pill Horror Stories

A Texas-based pro-life group has produced a list of abortion pill horror stories from across the nation.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration first approved abortion drugs like RU-486 nearly 26 years ago, and in 2022 the agency loosened its safety protocols to make the drugs available by mail. But a recent study by the experts at the Ethics and Public Policy Center found abortion drugs are much more dangerous than policymakers previously thought. Since becoming available by mail, we have also heard stories about women coerced into taking abortion drugs or being given the drugs secretly, without their consent.

Pro-life organization 40 Days for Life has produced a summary of some of those stories.

For example, the group says a Kansas man “was sentenced to nearly a decade in prison for conspiracy to commit murder following allegations that he sprinkled a crushed abortion pill on his girlfriend’s pancakes to cause an abortion.”

In another case, the group says a Texas man was charged with slipping abortion drugs into mistress’s coffee and cookies.

A California man was sentenced to nine years in prison after drugging his pregnant girlfriend and then administering abortion drugs to her.

The entire list of stories is available at 40daysforlife.com/scumbags.

As we have said many times, abortion drugs are dangerous. They hurt women, and they kill unborn children. They should not be available at all — much less through the mail.

That’s why Family Council has joined with other groups to oppose these dangerous drugs.

In May, Family Council sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas respectfully asking the office to enforce federal law as it applies to mail-order abortion drugs.

In June, Family Council joined a coalition of 83 state and national pro-life leaders urging acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche to stop mail-order abortion drugs.

We have also partnered with pro-life organizations in an amicus brief asking a federal court to block mail-order abortion drugs nationwide.

In June, we launched a grassroots effort in Arkansas calling on the Trump administration and members of Congress to end former President Joe Biden’s dangerous mail-order abortion policies and restore the FDA’s safety protocols.
