Church_webinar_banner_2.png
Please send this link
([link removed] ) to your
pastor and church leaders: this is crucial legal, biblical, and
medical information!
It's not too early to discuss reopening churches, as long as we do so
carefully. However long the Stay at Home orders last, and however long
it takes for COVID-19 to peak in Minnesota, churches will be reopening
in the next few months and facing a new normal. What will that look
like? Join us for a webinar on April 28 with experts in the field.

Solutions will look different for each church - but as you make
decisions, it is crucial to have the best information in several
different areas, including medical advice, First Amendment concerns,
and biblical perspectives.

Attorney General Ellison Uses a Crisis to Promote Mail-Order Abortion
Screen Shot 2020-04-17 at 11.47.46 AM.png
Abortionists and their friends in Minnesota have been making the most
of this crisis. Less than a week after Governor Walz gave abortionists
special treatment by exempting them from his stay at home order,
Attorney General Keith Ellison joined with 20 other attorneys general
in sending a letter to HHS Secretary Alex Azar and FDA Commissioner
Stephen Hahn requesting the removal of safety regulations on the
abortion pill. In the letter, current regulations were referred to as
"burdensome," dismissing the known dangers of the abortion
pill.

Legalized in 2000, the "abortion pill" is a chemical
abortion procedure in which the mother takes two pills, the first one
killing the baby, and the second to expel the child from the womb.
Since legalization, there have been 4,200 reports of adverse effects,
including severe hemorrhaging, infection, septic shock. Additional
risks are involved in cases of ectopic pregnancy or if the mother is
more than ten weeks pregnant, which is why a medical exam is required.
As of 2018, the abortion pill has resulted in 24 maternal deaths,
including two in 2018 alone.

Because of the associated risks, the abortion pill is regulated under
the FDA's Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Abortion
activists have long objected to these regulations, and in recent years
have been working to get around them by launching a mail-order
abortion clinical trial in multiple states, recently including
Minnesota. Many abortionists and their allies
[link removed]
have seen the COVID-19 crisis as a perfect opportunity to promote and
deregulate an already dangerous abortion procedure.
[link removed]
[link removed]
Ellison and the other attorneys general appealing to Secretary Azar
and Commissioner Hahn are advancing this narrative by claiming that
safety regulations "create unnecessary barriers" to
abortion, thus demonstrating a greater concern for the interests of
the abortion lobby than for the lives of children and the safety of
women. If Attorney General Ellison is really interested in the safety
and well-being of Minnesotans, he'll stop using a crisis to
promote dangerous, do-it-yourself abortions.
