In 2021 virtual abortion pill dispensaries represented 4% of facilities that offered abortion pills and by 2022 that number grew to 9%.
The gestational age limit also increased in certain states, which means more children could be dying… The FDA approved gestational limit for abortion pill is 10 weeks, but many facilities are beginning to offer the lethal pill all the way up to 14 weeks gestation. Some will illegally prescribe the pill even later.
Additionally, some states are enacting shield laws to enable abortion providers to ship abortion pills to states where abortion is restricted or illegal. So, while we saw the number of abortions dropping after Roe v. Wade, we may soon see more abortions happening even in pro-life states.
John, we are facing an unprecedented battle ahead, but there is hope.
We ARE still seeing babies saved after Roe. We ARE seeing sparks of pro-life legislation across the country that will save babies and help families for generations to come.
At Live Action, we know the biggest problem is deception. People simply need to be told and shown the truth about the humanity of preborn children and warned about the trauma and devastation that abortion inevitably brings upon everyone involved.
But people won’t receive these truths unless we tell them.
We must fight to ensure our states remain or become pro-life through convicted legislators who enact life-saving laws. We must show people the incredible humanity of preborn children through videos like Live Action’s Baby Olivia. We must show women what actually happens when they take the abortion pill through our projects like “Can’t Stay Silent” and “I Saw My Baby.”
Will you make a gift now to spread these videos and help us finish more life-saving projects to ensure the victories of the last few years aren’t lost? https://give.liveaction.org/abortion-is-expanding-through-the-abortion-pill/
With unregulated, mail-order abortion, we are in a new frontier. Mothers and fathers deserve truthful support, and babies deserve life and love. With you, I am confident we can change minds, save lives, and transform our culture into one that embraces children and family life.
