38 Pro-Life Groups Ask Court to Stop Mail-Order Abortions

Last week, Family Council joined 37 other organizations in a federal legal brief against mail-order abortion drugs.

Arkansas law generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother, and it is a crime for an abortionist to mail abortion drugs like RU-486 into the state. But under the Biden Administration, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began allowing mail-order abortion drugs. Pro-abortion states have also enacted “shield laws” for abortionists who mail abortion drugs into states like Arkansas.

All of that has undermined Arkansas’ good, pro-life laws that protect women and unborn children from abortion.

In response, the State of Missouri has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the FDA’s mail-order abortion drug protocols. Last week, Family Council joined an amicus brief led by Advancing American Freedom in that lawsuit.

The brief urges the Court to defend the states’ ability to enact and enforce their pro-life laws that protect women and unborn children from abortion drugs.

This is the second time in less than two months that Family Council has participated in amicus briefs against abortion drugs. In February, we also joined a legal brief in Louisiana’s lawsuit against the FDA’s abortion-by-mail policy.

A good court ruling in these cases could help stop the flow of abortion drugs across state lines.

New evidence shows that abortion drugs are much more dangerous than the FDA previously thought.

A recent study by the experts at the Ethics and Public Policy Center found abortion drugs are at least 22 times more dangerous than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration labeling indicates. Nearly 11% of women experience serious health complications from abortion pills — including sepsis, infection, and life-threatening hemorrhage.

These drugs should not be available at all — much less through the mail.

Family Council is pleased to join with so many other excellent groups who are willing to stand up for innocent human life in court.
