FDA’s abortion pill ruling places ‘politics over the lives and health of women’ by Cheryl Sullenger for Life Site News
‘We can expect to see hospital emergency rooms flooded with women suffering life-threatening complications after taking abortion pills received through the mail, said Operation Rescue’s Troy Newman.
Capitulating to the pro-abortion radical left, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made the political decision to permanently lift the in-person requirements on abortion inducing drugs, opening the door to abortion pills to be delivered through the mail after only a brief internet consultation.
Twenty states have already passed laws that prevent the distribution of abortion drugs without an in-clinic visit with a licensed physician and or by mail. These states are expected to be unaffected by the recent FDA ruling.

“The FDA has put politics over the lives and health of women. Abortion drugs carry a much higher complication rate than even surgical abortions, which are both far more dangerous than the Abortion Cartel will admit,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, whose organization tracks and documents abortion-related complications and maternal deaths.
“We can expect to see hospital emergency rooms flooded with women suffering life-threatening complications after taking abortion pills received through the mail,” said Newman.
“This horrific decision was about politics and catering to Democrat cronies at Planned Parenthood. But it is women who will pay the price – some with their lives – due to this outrageous move to placate the abortionists and socialists.”
A case in point was an incident earlier this year. A Planned Parenthood facility in Reno, Nevada, which does no surgical abortions but does offer abortion-inducing drugs, phoned 911 for a hemorrhaging woman who had apparently suffered complications after taking abortion pills. No doctor was present at the time of the medical emergency.
