Alarmed by Trump’s public flirtation with supporting a Florida abortion-rights ballot measure, Live Action founder Lila Rose traveled to the president’s Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club in September 2024 for a private intervention. During a sit-down that lasted more than two hours, Rose tried to persuade the president to adopt a stronger pro-life position on the campaign trail. She showed Trump videos narrated by former abortion doctors explaining how procedures are performed in graphic detail, hoping to convince him not to abandon a social-conservative movement that had stood by him for three presidential campaigns. But his response unsettled her... “That...

Iowans will need to see a doctor in person to receive abortion medication under a new law Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed. The Tuesday, May 19, signing came as Republican-led states across the country aim to restrict access to abortion pills, usage of which has increased since the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade. A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling temporarily preserved access to mail-order prescriptions after Louisiana challenged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's expanded access. But the medication's future remains uncertain as the legal battle plays out. The bill, House File 2788, will require Iowans seeking abortion medication,...

The abortion pill doesn't 'bring down your period,' 'prevent a potential life,' or 'remove pregnancy tissue.' It kills living human beings. Key Takeaways: The abortion pill is a drug that carries the intent to kill. Women are told that their babies are mere tissue at these first stages of life, but this is a marketing tactic to sell the abortion pill to vulnerable women and teens. Children develop rapidly in the womb. Just two weeks post-fertilization, their brains are beginning to form, and by 21 days, their hearts are already beating. Though marketed and dispensed even later in pregnancy, the...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday ensured that the abortion pill mifepristone can continue to be available by mail without an in-person appointment with a clinician. A ruling by the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on May 1 had imperiled widespread access to the pill. Now, the Supreme Court has granted emergency requests brought by drugmakers Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro seeking to block that ruling. The decision, a loss for the state of Louisiana, ensures there will not be any disruption to the availability of the drug as litigation continues. On May 4, in an order...

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito had some choice words for their Supreme Court colleagues on Thursday over their “remarkable” decision “undermin[ing]” the court’s historic Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The stinging rebukes came in an order the high court handed down to temporarily pause an appellate court ruling that halted a Biden-era FDA rule allowing the mailing of mifepristone to women without an in-person doctor visit. In agreeing to halt the policy, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the FDA’s “progressive relaxation of mifepristone’s guardrails likely lacked a basis in data and scientific literature,” and noted...

“The antiabortion movement is turning on Trump,” was a headline that ran in The Wall Street Journal this week. Pro-life groups, including Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, are frustrated with President Trump, as the article detailed, because his administration’s policy allows states (and thereby their residents) to decide abortion policy. Total abortions in the U.S. have slightly increased since the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade, despite widespread state bans. “Trump is the problem. The president is the problem,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony, told The Journal. No, Marjorie. President Trump is not the problem. He has been...

Abortion medication access barriers prevent me from providing evidence-based careGrowing up, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. But when the FDA needlessly placed an age restriction on over-the-counter levonorgestrel (Plan B) for emergency contraception, I decided I needed to become a lawyer too. I reasoned that political interference in healthcare meant my future patients might not receive the care they needed, and that as a physician-attorney, I could help advance evidence-based policy. In the 20 years since, levonorgestrel-based emergency contraception and daily oral contraceptives have become available over the counter with no age restrictions. Recent conversations, however,...

Wade. The document, framed around the euphemistic theme that “care continues” despite “direct attacks on sexual and reproductive health,” reports committing 434,450 abortions and 2.27 million “birth control services.” By contrast, it lists a mere 3,038 adoption referrals. Notably, it boasts 320,390 telehealth appointments. What percentage were for abortions as opposed to other procedures...
