Family Council is encouraging everyone to take two simple steps to help oppose chemical abortion drugs in Arkansas.
The first is to send a message asking Congress to support the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act.
The second is to ask the federal government to stop letting abortionists deliver abortion drugs through the mail.
Here is a little more information:
In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. As a result, abortion is prohibited in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother, and it is against the law to mail abortion drugs into the state.
But under President Biden, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration adopted rules that let abortionists send abortion drugs like mifepristone through the mail.
During that time, pro-abortion states also enacted “shield laws” to prevent abortionists from being held accountable when they mail abortion drugs into states like Arkansas.
To make matters worse, the U.S. Department of Justice has also opposed federal lawsuits from pro-lifers who want to stop mail-order abortion in their states.
All of this has created a dangerous industry of abortion-by-mail both in Arkansas and across the nation.
The Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act by Senator Josh Hawley (MO) and Representative Diana Harshbarger (TN) would withdraw the FDA’s approval of mifepristone. This would remove the abortion drug from the market nationwide.
The bill would also provide a private right of action letting women sue the drug’s manufacturers if they are harmed by the abortion drug.

Passing and enforcing the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act could take several months. That’s why we are also asking Arkansans to contact their leaders in Washington, D.C., and urge them to reverse the federal government’s policy that permits mail-order abortion.

Abortion drugs like mifepristone are dangerous. These drugs hurt women, and they kill unborn children.
Research from the Ethics and Public Policy Center shows 11% of women experience serious health complications from abortion pills — including sepsis, infection, and life-threatening hemorrhage.
These drugs should not be available at all — much less through the mail without an in-person visit with a doctor.
Our federal government needs to recognize how serious this issue is and take immediate steps to protect Americans from these abortion drugs. That is why we hope all Arkansans will contact their leaders today. Ask them to support the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act and reverse the FDA’s mail-order abortion policy.
