Dear John,
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the consequential Dobbs abortion case on December 1. A challenge to a pro-life law in Mississippi, this case directly confronts Roe v. Wade and our nation's barbaric abortion-on-demand policies.
Count on a media frenzy, as all eyes will be on the nine justices.
As deceptive forces array against the pro-life cause, FRC will stand firm for truth. And we will continue to inform you on disturbing current trends that rarely make national headlines.
Today, chemical abortions are at an all-time high. This form of abortion involves a regimen of pills taken to abort the young developing life.
When the abortion pill was legalized, the Clinton administration -- whom no one would confuse as pro-life -- instituted a drug safety protocol. It ensured that a pregnant woman must see a health care provider in person before the deadly pill regimen is prescribed.
However, we know the Left never wastes a crisis.
On April 12, the Biden administration used the COVID pandemic as an excuse to set aside those safety protocols, allowing abortion pills to be distributed through the mail after a quick appointment via webcam, with no follow-up.
Considering that thousands of adverse complications from the abortion pill have been documented, this is horrifying. As you'll see, the only national coverage is actually promoting these grisly practices.
FRC has been at the forefront of educating and equipping believers like you with resources you need to impact your sphere of influence. Our growing national program Washington Watch is one of many strategies that broadcast the truth where it's most needed.
This is a critical hour to make the case for life. Will you join FRC in prayer and financial support?

The nation's largest provider of abortions, Planned Parenthood has doubled down on chemical abortions. They've even used the pandemic as an excuse to avoid safety regulations.
Tossing aside the medical requirement for an in-person visit, the White House claims it's a temporary policy. It actually reflects how many of Planned Parenthood's abortion centers have recently been upgraded to facilitate telemedicine appointments.
Now their media allies are vocally calling for do-it-yourself abortions to become the norm.
"For years, telemedicine abortion was hampered by legal issues, but federal regulators under the Biden administration have been supportive. And the permissions granted only for the pandemic could become permanent," Bloomberg News advocated -- I mean, reported.
Similarly, in a bizarre article on what they termed "DIY abortion" throughout, The Atlantic stressed the supposed safety of the pill. Against all medical evidence, the Left defends predatory abortion practices that endanger women and eliminate children in the womb.
Bottom line: the debate over abortion and lives in the womb cannot be ignored.
We all need to be engaged -- in prayer and dialogue with friends and family. Our FRC team recently released How to Change Your Pro-Choice Friend's Heart to help you make a compelling pro-life defense in your conversations. It's available free online.

Imagine if we could help millions of Christians in America think biblically about abortion and human dignity -- we would see abortion become not just illegal but unthinkable.
We see a consistent pro-life ethic revealed in God's Word, from Genesis to Revelation. In the Gospels, Jesus implored his disciples: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14)
For the first time since the Roe decision was handed down 48 years ago, we actually see a way forward for America to once again become a nation that values life in the womb.
This vision isn't only about banning abortions. It's about standing for life by:
- Supporting those facing unplanned pregnancies,
- Protecting the conscience rights of healthcare workers,
- Ensuring pregnancy resource centers are fully resourced and defended from legal challenges, and
- Blocking Planned Parenthood from receiving any of our tax dollars.
No matter how the high court rules, the High King has placed great value on every life. You and I and millions of believers have an opportunity in the coming months -- as abortion dominates headlines -- to share that powerful message.
We believe truth can prevail, and your stand with FRC will make a difference.
