The U.S. Food and Drug Administration quietly approved a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone. The drug is produced by Evita Solutions LLC, a company that describes its mission as being to "normalize abortion" and make it "accessible to all." Susan B.

These dangerous drugs take the lives of unborn children, place women and underage girls at serious risk, empower abusers, and trample the pro-life laws enacted by states across the nation."

Abortions performed by Planned Parenthood reached an all-time high in the two years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled there is no constitutional right to abortion and the ensuing rise of abortion restrictions in many states, drawing amplified calls for lawmakers to prevent public funding from going to abortion businesses. The nation's largest abortion provider performed over 400,000 abortions, collected nearly $800 million in taxpayer funding in 2023-2024, and decreased the share of cancer screenings and other health services it offers, according to the corporation's 2023-2024 annual report.

The abortion pill cartel operates using "community partner networks," groups of volunteers who help women in the U.S. order abortion pills from foreign countries and then ship those drugs. These community partner networks encourage women to request abortion pills using secure networks and unhackable email accounts, in order to evade prosecution. One community partner network affiliate, based in Mexico, even told women, "To be on the safe side, you should erase messages and emails about your abortion from your phone." The group even told women that if they suffer bleeding after their chemical abortion, they should visit an emergency room and claim to be experiencing a miscarriage. Read more...

The Pennsylvania Department of Health published its findings from an unannounced visit to UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital resulting from a formal complaint I submitted stating that the facility was breaking state licensure regulations by not allowing pro-life advocates to be present during board of directors meetings. Local and state pro-lifers have held rallies and prayer walks on the sidewalk outside Magee during scheduled meeting times since they were barred from direct participation. Magee was cited for violating 28 Pa. Code 103.3, 10, iii, which requires hospital governance to hold at least one meeting per year in which members of the community can be in attendance.

Citing the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health overturning Roe v. Wade, in September, the VA announced that it would begin offering abortion services at VA facilities nationwide. The VA brazenly issued this edict without first engaging the legislative branch, as it is required to do. Ignoring 30 years of congressional authority expressly prohibiting abortions at VA facilities, the VA was to immediately begin offering abortion services regardless of the unborn child’s gestational age and in spite of any state laws which might prohibit such a procedure.
