Unpacking the A.G.’s Four Cease-and-Desist Letters on Abortion Drugs

Abortion, , ,

Yesterday we reported how the Arkansas Attorney General has issued cease-and-desist letters to companies responsible for marketing abortion pills to Arkansans in violation of state law.

Arkansas generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother, and state law also prohibits abortion drugs from being delivered or distributed in the state. However, some abortionists ship abortion drugs across state lines. Attorney General Griffin says some of these entities are deliberately targeting women in Arkansas and elsewhere.

On July 29, A.G. Griffin’s office issued cease-and-desist letters to companies associated with Plan C, Mayday Health, and LifeOnEasyPills.org — all of which allegedly promote mail-order abortion drugs to women in Arkansas.

These letters warn the groups that Arkansas law generally prohibits the shipment or delivery of abortion drugs into the state. They also challenge misleading claims on the groups’ websites about the safety of abortion pills.

For example, the A.G.’s letter says Plan C describes abortion pills as “very safe,” but the A.G.’s legal team points out a 2025 study found that more than 10% of women who used abortion drugs experienced sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event.

The cease-and-desist letters allege the pro-abortion advertisements may violate the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. If the companies do not stop promoting abortion pills to Arkansans, the letters say they could face a formal investigation and civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.

The message from the A.G.’s office is clear: Arkansas will not be a target for out-of-state abortion pill traffickers.

We appreciate Attorney General Griffin’s strong pro-life stance and his willingness to hold violators accountable.

Planned Parenthood PAC Reports No Activity in Arkansas During First Half of 2025

Abortion, , , ,

On July 15, Planned Parenthood’s political action committee for Arkansas filed a report with the Secretary of State showing the organization did not spend any money campaigning in Arkansas during the past three months.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortionist. In 2024, the organization endorsed two candidates running for the Arkansas House of Representatives. In 2020, Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million working to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect candidates who support abortion. As part of that plan, the group used its political action committee (PAC) in Arkansas to support candidates for state and federal office.

However, Planned Parenthood’s Arkansas PAC has spent no money campaigning in Arkansas so far this year.

Planned Parenthood’s PAC has a little less than $11,500 at its disposal for the 2026 election cycle. It remains to be seen what role the organization will play in Arkansas in the coming months.

Arkansas A.G. Urges Congress to Help Enforce Pro-Life Laws

Abortion, , , ,

On Tuesday, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin held a press conference announcing his office is leading a letter to congress urging the federal government to help states enforce their pro-life laws.

Since 2022, Arkansas has generally prohibited abortion except to save the life of the mother, and state law prohibits abortion drugs from being delivered or distributed in the state. However, news outlets have highlighted how pro-abortion states are protecting abortionists who ship abortion drugs across the country. Attorney General Griffin says entities in these states are deliberately targeting women in Arkansas and elsewhere.

At Tuesday’s press conference, Arkansas Attorney General Griffin said his office is leading a letter along with 15 other state attorneys general asking congress to address these pro-abortion “shield laws.” During his remarks, A.G. Griffin said, “States should be respectful of other states’ laws.” The A.G. says his office believes there is precedent giving congress the authority to act on this issue.

The A.G.’s office is also issuing four cease-and-desist letters to companies responsible for marketing abortion pills to Arkansans.

The cease-and-desist letters are similar to orders the A.G.’s office sent to abortion centers in New York last year.

All of this is good news. Abortion drugs take the life of an unborn child. They also carry significant health risks for women — including risks of sepsis and death.

Delivering abortion drugs into Arkansas violates state law and it puts women and unborn children at risk.

Abortion drugs simply should not be for sale in America — and abortionists certainly should not be free to target Arkansans with them.

Family Council appreciates Attorney General Griffin’s willingness to take a firm, pro-life stand and help lead the way on this important issue.
