John,

A young Texas mother was carrying her baby girl, whom she had already named Joy. Allegedly, the child’s father wanted her dead, but the mother wanted her to live.

Disagreement turned to betrayal. The mother claims she sipped a hot beverage prepared for her by the father, unaware he had laced it with abortion pills.

That night, she was doubled over in pain, hemorrhaging. She lost her daughter.

We must demand that this deadly pill be taken off the market.

Now the mother is suing the online pill seller, its founder, and the father for wrongful death. Her story is a devastating example of how dangerous these drugs are and why we must demand they be pulled from the market.

People need to see the terrible truth about the abortion pill: no matter how it is taken, and no matter the complications, the pill’s intended purpose is always to kill a living, growing child.

That is not a side effect. It is the product’s design. Every time it “works,” a son or daughter is dead.

This is why I’m encouraged that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and FDA Commissioner Martin Makary have announced that the FDA is going to investigate the safety of this deadly pill.

While this is encouraging news, we must not depend on just these leaders. Our voices must be heard as well.

We made it easy for you to send an email to the FDA with a click of a button. Tell them that the abortion pill must not only be investigated, but PULLED entirely from the market: liveaction.org/petitions/urge-the-fda-to-pull-the-abortion-pill-from-the-market

Everyone needs to know: The abortion pill, mifepristone, followed by misoprostol, is not the “safe, empowering” option the abortion industry markets it as. It is chemical violence that takes the life of an innocent human being and often sends the mother to the ER.

New insurance claims data show that one in ten women who take these drugs suffer serious complications such as ER visits, surgeries, or dangerous infections. That is not “rare.” That is a public health crisis.

Why is this happening? Because under the Biden administration, the FDA tore down nearly every safety regulation surrounding the drug.

Required in-person doctor visits are eliminated. Required ultrasounds to rule out ectopic pregnancies are gone. Mandatory reporting of complications is gone. Follow-up care is optional. These decisions were reckless.

And the result is horrendous.

Women who’ve been told that ending their pregnancy will be “just like a heavy period” instead find themselves in agony, bleeding alone in their bathrooms, passing the tiny bodies of their children into the toilet, and wondering if they themselves are going to die.

Samantha was 21 when she took the pill. She was promised “mild cramping.” Instead, she endured “some of the worst pain [she had] ever felt,” followed by hours of bleeding and the shock of seeing her dead baby. For two years, she battled denial and depression before she found healing.

Linn has a similar story. A worker at Planned Parenthood told her she would pass tissue and have some cramping. “That was a lie, I passed a whole baby in a sac. I will never forget that image,” she said. “I won’t stay silent against abortions.”

These are not rare experiences.

They are the natural and inevitable consequences of an industry built on lying and killing for profit. The abortion pill is designed to end the life of a child, and it gambles with the mother’s health every single time.

It is time to act. The FDA must not only reinstate the full safety protocols it dismantled; it must go further. It must pull its approval for the abortion pill entirely.

This drug is lethal for children and dangerous for women. Congress and state legislatures should investigate and hold the FDA accountable for ignoring overwhelming evidence of irreversible harm.

What the Texas mother claimed happened to her clearly illustrates what is at stake. A father, determined to end his own daughter’s life, allegedly slipped abortion pills into the drink of the mother who wanted her baby. The pills did what they were designed to do. Baby Joy is gone. And so many other “Joys” are at risk of the same fate…

…Unless we act now.

For Life,
