MFC Urges Feds: Keep Abortion Drugs Restricted During COVID-19
pregnant_belly.jpeg
Thirty-two Family Policy Council directors across the nation,
including Minnesota Family Council CEO John Helmberger, have
issued a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
urging them to uphold the current policy restricting telehealth
doctors from prescribing chemical abortion drugs. This letter comes in
response to a separate letter that was
[link removed]
submitted by twenty-one state attorneys general-including
Minnesota's AG Keith Ellison-to DHHS Secretary Azar and
FDA Commissioner Hahn, asking for loosened restrictions on
mifepristone, the drug that causes an abortion by starving a
developing baby of a critical hormone called progesterone.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, abortion activists have called for
lifting of the FDA's Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy
(REMS), which prevents mifepristone from being prescribed via a
telehealth consultation with an abortionist. These activists argue
"the REMS create unnecessary delays for women who need access to
time-sensitive healthcare and force them to travel
unnecessarily." During this pandemic, our nation's
healthcare system has labored to serve and heal its citizens, and
doctors have expanded telehealth services to achieve this goal. But
lifting this REMS restriction would mean that women do not have to
leave their homes in order to procure drugs for an abortion, and, as
the FPC directors argue in their letter, this would have disastrous
implications.

Porn Industry Exploits Kids During a Pandemic
girl-3422711_1280.jpg
The abortion industry isn't the only one exploiting the COVID-19
crisis for their own bottom line. Pornhub, the world's largest
pornography website, is also jumping into the fray by making its
premium content free worldwide. Amidst the coronavirus crisis, media
accounts estimate over 1 billion people are in lock-down and Pornhub
has declared their content is an "enjoyable way to pass the
time."
The adult website has been working hard to bolster its public image by
engaging in other grand gestures of "philanthropy" during
this pandemic. But let's not forget that there is a clear link
between pornography and human trafficking, something that the state of
Minnesota has officially recognized, and before the coronavirus
outbreak Pornhub was embroiled in controversy because it has
consistently and repeatedly failed to remove obscene and illegal
content from its site-content that depicts children and
sex-trafficking victims. Pornhub itself has not denied its top
searches involve the word "teen," but they're not
doing much because their business model relies on those searches to
make them billions of dollars. But others

are doing something. To-date almost one million people have signed a
petition to shut down Pornhub because of its inextricable connection
to the trafficking industry.
