An epidemic of chemical abortion has hit the United States, thanks to the Biden administration’s illegal authorisation of distributing abortion pills by mail. The scandal is revealed in a new report published by the American Life League (ALL), which reveals that no state can be abortion-free regardless of their pro-life laws.
Released on Wednesday, ALL’s “Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel” details an “ongoing pill network that is funneling these drugs in from foreign countries to states with so-called ‘abortion bans,’” not unlike narcotic drug cartels.
In January 2023, the Biden Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) declared that a provision of the 1873 Comstock Act making it illegal for the United States Postal Service to deliver any “article, instrument, substance, drug, medicine, or thing which is advertised or described in a manner calculated to lead another to use or apply it for producing abortion” did not mean what it said.
OLC maintained that abortion pills may be freely mailed, delivered, and received “where the sender lacks the intent that the recipient of the drugs will use them unlawfully.” And because “there are manifold ways in which recipients in every state may use these drugs, including to produce an abortion, without violating state law,” the “mere mailing of such drugs to a particular jurisdiction is an insufficient basis for concluding that the sender intends them to be used unlawfully.”
In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the legality of the move (as well as to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s prior approval of abortion drugs) on the grounds that the plaintiffs supposedly lacked standing, leaving the door open for future challenges to possibly fare better.
According to ALL’s report, the volunteer “community networks” it identified ship abortion pills to 28 states and five U.S. territories for free, albeit with a non-binding suggestion for a donation. A representative example of these networks is the Mexico-based Las Libres, which states, “We recommend using a Proton Mail account for security (yours and ours),” with instructions for how to open one. It requires only a first name and the first day of a user’s last menstrual period. “No other information is needed,” it says.
ALL noted that even the New York Times has acknowledged that such services often use abortion pills from other countries, which carry even more risks than those sourced from conventional medical processes and lacks verification that the pills are not laced with dangerous foreign substances, or even that they could be different pills entirely.
In case of emergency complications, Las Libres goes so far as to advise customers to hide from ER doctors and nurses that they had a self-induced chemical abortion, and “to be on the safe side, you should erasse messages and emails about your abortion from your phone.”
Many of these baby-killing NGOs are funded by the Soros Open Society Foundation. Prof-life initiatives, by contrast, are all grass-roots funded. God bless all those who help this uneven, but truly vital, fight back!
