The deregulation of the abortion pill has been a disaster
American Thinker ^ | August 12, 2026 | Susan Quinn

hen you review all the data on mifepristone (the abortion pill), from those who support it and those who condemn it, the tragic truth is revealed: both viable babies’ and women’s lives are threatened.

The most recent horrific situation just took place in North Carolina:

A couple in Durham is facing charges for harming a newborn after the woman allegedly took abortion pills in her 3rd trimester.

Imagine providing the tools for any "do-it-yourself" surgeries. Any state would quash it in a second. Except abortion, the high, holy sacrament of the demented.

Transwomen crying because they can’t have an abortion because they don’t have a uterus is the ultimate absurdity of abortion. It’s the hill for liberals to die on but they don’t want to talk about it. How can you support something so strongly but refuse to defend it?

The abortion pills are basically human killing tools, responsible for a lot more human lives than any guns.
But they are now even less regulated than the guns!

The Bible says “I knit you together in your mother’s womb” Democrats say I injected you with saline and tore your limbs off in your mother’s womb!

It doesn’t sound like a disaster to the manufacturer and those who promote its use.

Is “big government” one that criminalizes murder?

Get bent.

This isn’t a federal issue.

That makes “big government” the proper phrase.

States such as North Carolina should be able to ban abortion within its jurisdiction. Mailing abortifacients is, by law, illegal when shipped to residents of that state to use for that purpose.

That’s all I’m saying.

It most certainly IS a federal issue. The USPS (fedzilla) sends tens of thousands of abortion drugs monthly to states where abortion drugs are illegal.

So much for “States Rights”.

AI..... For Texas specifically, a later 2024 estimate reported about 2,800 mailed telehealth abortion-pill prescriptions per month in the second half of 2024, though that figure is for abortion pills generally and is not a mifepristone-tablet count.

I agree. North Carolina should, and should be able to, deal with this issue without ever involving the feds.

As such if its a problem about the USPS then the USPS should be abolished.(privatized)

Abortion is not a federal issue. And we do not want it to be. Whatever in government needs to be repealed and abolished to keep it in the states, that’s the optimum goal.

This is not a federal issue. NOT.
