Women and Children Deserve Better than Mail-Order Abortion

Our friends at the Center for Christian Virtue recently released a video highlighting the dangers of mail-order abortion drugs — and what Americans can do to stop them.

Arkansas law generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother, and it is a crime for an abortionist to mail abortion drugs like RU-486 into the state. But under President Biden, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration loosened its safety protocols to allow mail-order abortion drugs. Pro-abortion states have also enacted “shield laws” for abortionists who mail abortion drugs into states like Arkansas. To make matters worse, the U.S. Department of Justice has opposed federal court cases from pro-lifers who want to to stop mail-order abortion.

All of this has created a dangerous industry of abortion-by-mail both in Arkansas and across the nation. Anyone, anywhere, at any time can order the abortion pill online. A doctor isn’t required to be present. That’s not healthcare. That’s dangerous.

In June, Family Council launched a grassroots effort in Arkansas calling on the Trump administration to end former President Joe Biden’s dangerous mail-order abortion policies. Arkansans can join that grassroots effort by visiting abortioncrimebymail.com.

A recent Federalist poll found that 67% of likely voters support reinstating the in-person doctor’s visit requirement for abortion pills — including 63% of Democrats and 72% of Republicans. This is plain common sense, and Americans across the political spectrum agree.

Abortion drugs are dangerous. They hurt women, and they kill unborn children. The federal government needs to recognize that fact and let states like Arkansas enforce their laws against mail-order abortion.
