Louisiana sued the FDA this week for allowing the unfettered mailing of abortion drugs across the country.
The suit, <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.lawd.213952/gov.uscourts.lawd.213952.1.0.pdf">filed</a> Monday by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, accused the FDA of enabling leftist activists to mail abortion pills into states like Louisiana, where chemical abortions are illegal. Murrill asked the court to strike down the FDA’s approval during the Biden administration of mail-order abortion pills.
“Every year, doctors and activists in states like California and New York mail a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved abortion drug called mifepristone to thousands of Louisiana residents for the express purpose of causing abortions in Louisiana that are blatantly unlawful,” the suit said. “This extra-territorial mailing of abortion drugs is illegal under state law—and it is the direct result of the Biden Administration’s 2023 agency action expressly facilitating this scheme. That action is the subject of this lawsuit.”
In 2023, the Biden administration changed the Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for mifepristone, the drug used in over 60% of all abortions, allowing it to be sent through the mail.
Mifepristone works by starving an unborn child to death by cutting it off from the necessary nutrients provided by its mother. A different drug is then taken to induce labor and expel the deceased baby.
Murrill argued in the suit that the FDA’s regulations for mifepristone are “arbitrary and capricious” and violate the Comstock Act, a federal law that bans the mailing of abortion drugs. Joining the suit was Rosalie Markezich, a woman who says her boyfriend ordered illegal abortion pills from California and was then pressured into taking them to end the life of her unborn child.

In response to a request for comment on the suit, the Department of Health and Human Services said that it does not comment on pending litigation. HHS did point The Daily Wire to its commitment to conducting a study on the reported adverse effects of mifepristone.
“The Biden administration removed mifepristone’s in-person dispensing rule without studying the safety risks. We are filling that gap. Last month, I joined [FDA Commissioner Marty Makary] in writing to state attorneys general, pledging to review all the evidence — including real-world outcomes — on the safety of this drug. Recent studies already point to serious risks when mifepristone is used without proper medical oversight,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. <a href="https://x.com/SecKennedy/status/1973866621245567344">said</a> earlier this month.
The suit comes after pro-life advocates were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-lifers-demand-answers-from-trump-admin-after-shocking-abortion-pill-approval?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Pro-Lifers+Demand+Answers+From+Trump+Admin+After+‘Shocking’+Abortion+Pill+Approval">shocked</a> last week after the FDA approved a new generic mifepristone pill. Fifty-two Republican senators sent a <a href="https://justthenews.com/sites/default/files/2025-10/2025.10.09%20-%20Letter%20from%20Senator%20Graham%20et%20al%20to%20HHS%20and%20FDA%20re%20Mifepristone.pdf">letter</a> on Thursday to the FDA and HHS urging them to scrap the regulations that allow the mailing of abortion drugs.
The FDA has said that it was required by law to approve the new generic drug and noted that it was conducting a review of the Biden guidelines. On a press call on Wednesday, SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said she was skeptical of that reasoning.
“This standard only seems to apply to this particular drug. It [has] certainly not been the standard for other drugs where there were questions that needed to be asked, that needed to get answers from those that were developing the drugs,” she said.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Revealed: Biden FBI Snooped On GOP Lawmakers</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-982711" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/DOJ-Spies-On-Senators-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/DOJ-Spies-On-Senators-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/DOJ-Spies-On-Senators-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/DOJ-Spies-On-Senators-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/DOJ-Spies-On-Senators-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/DOJ-Spies-On-Senators.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: As the government shutdown continues, Washington has been rocked by new revelations that the Biden DOJ snooped on several Republican Congress members as part of its January 6 probe.
This week, Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released a document showing that President Joe Biden’s FBI obtained and analyzed phone metadata of eight sitting Republican senators and one Republican House member.
The move came as part of the DOJ’s previously undisclosed Arctic Frost investigation, which went after Republicans for alleged election meddling following the 2020 election. Grassley released a statement along with that document, where he said, “Based on the evidence to date, Arctic Frost and related weaponization by federal law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate.”

The Republican lawmakers targeted by the FBI were Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
Democrats’ response: Democrats have sought to downplay the story, saying the FBI was simply doing its job to investigate election meddling — and reminding folks that agents were not listening in on phone calls, and were only looking at who they called, and when. 
That has done little to alleviate Republican outrage. Blackburn excoriated the FBI in an interview with Morning Wire: “It is a violation of our civil rights. It’s a violation of our privacy rights. No one can find a time when … the FBI has done this.”
What Republicans want: Republicans have demanded an investigation to determine the extent of the scheme and who was responsible for it.
Former FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland would have had to approve the operation. Republicans want to know if President Biden was also involved. 
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Most Violent ‘Nonviolent’ Convict Secures Parole</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-982713" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Kentucky-Killer-Outrage-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Kentucky-Killer-Outrage-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Kentucky-Killer-Outrage-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Kentucky-Killer-Outrage-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Kentucky-Killer-Outrage-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Kentucky-Killer-Outrage.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: More details are coming out about the early prison release of a Kentucky man convicted in the brutal slaying of a young boy. He has shockingly been deemed a nonviolent offender.
What happened: Ronald Exantus broke into a family’s home and stabbed multiple people with a kitchen knife, including a 6-year-old boy who later died from those injuries. These crimes occurred in Woodford County, Kentucky, located just west of Lexington.
Exantus was tried in 2018 and found not guilty of that murder by reason of insanity. He was convicted for the lesser charge of assault and sentenced to 20 years in prison, but he was released in early October – 13 years early – and placed on just eight months of supervised probation.
Hmmm: According to the parole board, Exantus qualifies as nonviolent under Kentucky state law. The board has faced major criticism over the release, but it says that its members repeatedly voted for Exantus to remain in prison. 
In a statement to The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, the board said, “Every time it had the opportunity, the Parole Board recommended Ronald Exantus stay in prison.”
After a review for parole on September 30, the board announced that it had issued a decision to keep the criminal in prison for the remainder of his sentence. The board added, “Despite this decision, Kentucky law required the Department of Corrections to release the inmate on Mandatory Reentry Supervision.”
In short, state law required Exantus to be released because he wasn’t convicted of a capital offense related to the killing of Logan Tipton. He was only convicted on lesser charges of second-degree assault for attacking Logan’s sibling and father.
What happens now: Exantus is not quite a free man. He enters a state of parole, which means that he must abide by conditions. Those exact terms are still unknown, but in most cases, if the conditions are broken, the parolee could be sent back to prison.
The case could also come under federal scrutiny, as the White House has weighed in on the issue. On Saturday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt highlighted one of Walsh’s social media posts and said that the administration is looking into the situation. The White House said it is “wholly unacceptable for a child killer to walk free after just several years in prison.” 
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Christianity Today Funded By Abortion Backer</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-982715" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Christian-Funding-Scandal-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Christian-Funding-Scandal-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Christian-Funding-Scandal-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Christian-Funding-Scandal-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Christian-Funding-Scandal-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Christian-Funding-Scandal.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: America’s most prominent evangelical magazine, Christianity Today, is under fire for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/evangelical-magazine-christianity-today-takes-over-1-million-from-abortion-funder">accepting</a> financial support from a major abortion funder. Readers also accuse the publication of softening its pro-life stance in recent years.
Since 2022, Christianity Today has received more than one million dollars from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. That includes $600,000 for election coverage.
What makes this controversial is Hewlett’s history. The foundation is the second-largest private funder of Planned Parenthood in the United States. It gave the abortion provider more than $100 million between 2000 and 2023. 
After Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, Hewlett announced it was increasing its “reproductive equity” budget by 30% – essentially doubling down on supporting abortion access and securing Hewlett’s spot as one of the country’s largest abortion funders.
Influence on CT? Christianity Today has always maintained that it upholds a pro-life ethic. However, since Hewlett’s donations began, the magazine has started publishing articles that advocate for a broader definition of “pro-life.”
Instead of focusing solely on protecting unborn babies, these pieces have argued that the term should also include fighting racial injustice, supporting new federal entitlements like paid family leave, and supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Many pro-life leaders say that redefining the term in this way waters down its meaning. Seth Gruber, founder of the pro-life organization White Rose Resistance, told The Daily Wire that he believes leftists are deliberately working to redefine the term “pro-life” in an effort to advance progressive political priorities under its banner.
Also, in the run-up to the 2024 election, Christianity Today published articles arguing that the issue of abortion was not necessarily a good enough reason to vote and that Christians should consider sitting out. And their board chair took on the role of spokesperson for Evangelicals for Biden.
Step back: Christianity Today has become more reliant on grants and donations over the past five years. In 2020, only about 20 percent of its revenue came from grants. Today, it’s more than half. Over the past few years, it has also received $8 million from the Lilly Endowment, the foundation established by the Eli Lilly family, known for its pharmaceuticals.
Experts warn that when an outlet grows dependent on foundations with their own ideological agendas, it risks aligning with those priorities — even if that means softening its historic Christian commitments.
Part of why the controversy stings is that evangelist Billy Graham founded Christianity Today in 1956 to be a theologically conservative alternative to The Christian Century, which was considered liberal.
Critics have long contended that the outlet has drifted to the left in both tone and substance. The Hewlett Foundation’s funding, particularly the grants marked for “covering elections,” has struck many observers as confirmation of that gradual ideological shift.

Last month marked 25 years since the Food and Drug Administration approved the abortion drug mifepristone, then called RU-486, for use in the United States.
On September 19, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, sent a letter to 22 pro-life state attorneys general informing them that the agencies will perform a review of the drug’s safety.
Such a review is long overdue and should result in the revocation of the FDA’s approval of mifepristone or, at minimum, the restoration of important protections around the drug’s prescription.
Since sending that letter, the FDA unexpectedly approved a generic form of the chemical abortion drug. RFK, Jr., and Dr. Makary have regulatory tools at their disposal that could begin the process of removing these dangerous drugs from the market. It is time for them to take decisive action.
The FDA first approved mifepristone in 2000 under a regulation known as Subpart H which allows for the expedited approval of drugs that treat “serious or life-threatening illnesses” and that provide a “meaningful therapeutic benefit to patients over existing treatments.” Mifepristone meets neither of these requirements.
First, mifepristone does not “treat” a “serious or life-threatening illness.” Pregnancy is not an illness and killing an unborn child is not treatment.
Second, chemical abortion does not now, and certainly did not then, provide a “meaningful therapeutic benefit . . . over existing treatments.” As a 2006 <a href="https://advancingamericanfreedom.com/mifepristone-resource-congressional-staff-report-the-fda-and-ru-486-lowering-the-standard-for-womens-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">congressional report</a> on mifepristone’s approval explained, “it appears that no concurrently-controlled trials comparing medical and surgical abortion were required by FDA, because the Agency already knew that medical abortion—i.e., abortion by RU-486—is unambiguously inferior to surgical abortion with respect to safety and effectiveness.”
Nor, as the same report lays out in detail, did the FDA rely on studies of sufficient rigor to meet Subpart H’s requirements.
How could the FDA so blatantly disregard its own rules? Because the approval of chemical  abortion was <a href="https://humanlifereview.com/playing-politics-with-the-abortion-pill-a-quarter-century-of-abuse-of-power-at-the-fda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political from the start</a>.
In his <a href="https://url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___https:/advancingamericanfreedom.com/mifepristone-resource-judicial-watch-special-report-the-clinton-ru-486-files/___.YXAzOmFhZjphOm86YmM2NTQ4Zjk3MDAzZTY4MjA0NDM5NzQyZjdmNzQ4NGU6Nzo4ZDhkOjI3ZDY5MjU2MWJkOTU4OTZlNjNjYmUwMDI3ZmZjODA5NGMzNmZjYzNiYWU2NDk5MGYxZDE0MmIzNGE0Y2JiNjA6aDpUOk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first official act</a> as President, Bill Clinton directed HHS to promote the introduction of the abortion drug into the American market. Over the next seven years, the Clinton administration worked to have the patent rights transferred to the Population Council, which then sought the FDA’s approval.  That transfer of patent rights was necessitated by the fact that the French company that owned the patent was unwilling to introduce the drug to the American market without indemnification of liability for the harms it would foreseeably cause.

Upon approval of mifepristone, the FDA implemented certain limitations on the drug’s prescription to provide at least some protection to women. <a href="https://url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___https:/storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.370067/gov.uscourts.txnd.370067.137.0_20.pdf___.YXAzOmFhZjphOm86YmM2NTQ4Zjk3MDAzZTY4MjA0NDM5NzQyZjdmNzQ4NGU6Nzo3MWI3OjEzNTE0ZGZhZjY0OTJkZGEwMzg2NmU3ZDRhYjFjYjlhZjQ2MDZiMzc2MzEyMDEzZjNkMmQ4NzgyYTJhOTEwNDY6aDpUOk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Specifically,</a> the abortion drug could only be prescribed to women who were less than seven weeks pregnant, women were required to visit the doctor three times, and abortionists were required to report all adverse events.
These restrictions did not make mifepristone safe, but they did reduce the risk of harm to women. For example, in-person consultations provided women with necessary procedures, such as ultrasounds, critical for recognizing ectopic pregnancies, which, if left untreated, are deadly.
In March 2016, the Obama FDA significantly <a href="https://url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___https:/storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.370067/gov.uscourts.txnd.370067.137.0_20.pdf___.YXAzOmFhZjphOm86YmM2NTQ4Zjk3MDAzZTY4MjA0NDM5NzQyZjdmNzQ4NGU6NzozMzQ4OjU0ZDdkY2E2NzEzOWExMDlmZTU0NzVjM2QwMTdkZmFjOGE1YzcxNzc3NTU2OWI3OTg4NzIxOGFlMjJhNjViYTc6aDpUOk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reduced</a> these protections, now referred to as a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Under the updated REMS, women could be prescribed mifepristone for abortions up to 10 weeks’ gestation and only needed to visit a doctor once, non-doctors were allowed to prescribe chemical abortions, and abortionists were only required to report fatal adverse events.
In 2021, the FDA “<a href="https://url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___https:/storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.370067/gov.uscourts.txnd.370067.137.0_20.pdf___.YXAzOmFhZjphOm86YmM2NTQ4Zjk3MDAzZTY4MjA0NDM5NzQyZjdmNzQ4NGU6Nzo2ZGViOmVkNjQ0OWNmMjVmNWFiNzUyNDhjYzZkNGE2NzAxODU0ZTkyNjcwNGIzMDIzOWQyMGI0YWY5YjY2NjJkMDdlMzI6aDpUOk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed</a> the ‘in-person dispensing requirement’” altogether.

The FDA’s review of the dangers of mifepristone to women’s health is long overdue. A recent study by the Ethics and Public Policy Center suggesting that the adverse event rate for chemical abortion is much higher than FDA data suggests, is only the most recent in two and a half decades of evidence that the FDA’s approval of the drug is dangerous for women.
Armed with this and other data, the heads of HHS and the FDA have legal authority to <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-314/subpart-D/section-314.150" target="_blank" rel="noopener">call for a hearing</a> to determine whether the FDA’s initial approval of mifepristone should be withdrawn. This would be an important step toward removing dangerous chemical abortion drugs from the market, and allow the agency to delay approval of any other generic forms of mifepristone currently being considered.
For the past 25 years, mifepristone has been used to terminate innocent human life while injuring and harming women for life. The abortion drug’s reckoning is long overdue. The FDA’s recently announced review is a good first step, but pro-life Americans cannot rest until the dangerous chemical abortion pill is taken off the market and pre-born Americans are safe from its harms.

HHS Secretary Kennedy Holds News Conference On Synthetic Dyes In Food Supply

The FDA’s Review Of Abortion Drugs Is Long Overdue

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A coalition of pro-life advocates led by Live Action President Lila Rose on Friday urged Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to reverse the recent approval of an abortion drug. 
Over two dozen pro-life advocates petitioned the FDA following the agency&#8217;s Tuesday approval of Evita Solutions’ generic version of mifepristone, the drug used in over 60% of all abortions. The signatories say that instead of approving new life-ending drugs, the FDA should completely remove mifepristone from the market. 
“We urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to reverse this dangerous approval immediately,&#8221; the coalition wrote, according to a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/FDA-Coalition-Letter_-Abortion-Pill-10.3.2025-1.pdf">copy of the letter</a> obtained by The Daily Wire. &#8220;Rather than expanding the license for these drugs, the FDA should acknowledge the clear evidence of harm and withdraw mifepristone from the market.&#8221;
“Every abortion is a violation of human rights, and every life lost is an irreplaceable son or daughter. The federal government must stop enabling this violence under the false banner of ‘healthcare,’” they added. 
Signers of the letter included Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson, Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins, and Concerned Women for America CEO Penny Nance.
On Friday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the administration did not endorse the drug, but was required by law to approve Evita’s application because it was a generic offering of a drug already offered by two other pharmaceutical companies. 
The letter to Kennedy also laid out the brutal process that takes place after a mother takes a chemical abortion pill. 
“A chemical abortion consists of a two-step process. First, a pregnant mother will take mifepristone to starve her preborn child to death. Next, she will take misoprostol to induce labor contractions and deliver the baby&#8217;s dead body. At this stage in the first trimester, children developing in the womb already have a detectable heartbeat and brainwaves, and are beginning to move their arms and legs,” the coalition wrote. 
The coalition said that the approval contradicted a recent commitment from Kennedy to study the dangers of mifepristone. 
“Yet rather than pausing to examine the mounting evidence showing the harmful effects of mifepristone, the FDA has chosen to expand access to a drug that has already killed millions of preborn children and harmed countless women, undermining the very commitment that the Secretary publicly made to protect patients,” they wrote. 
Chemical abortions account for about two-thirds of all abortions in the United States and have ended the lives of at least 7.5 million unborn babies. At the same time, the mothers who take the pills often experience additional medical complications like hemorrhaging and sepsis. Studies showing the dangers of the drug have been manipulated to hide the harm, the coalition said. 
The decision has already triggered outrage from many Republican lawmakers. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said he had completely lost faith in the FDA over the move, while over a dozen Republican representatives <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-demand-rfk-fire-rogue-actors-at-fda-who-approved-abortion-drug?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Republicans+Demand+RFK+Fire+%E2%80%98Rogue+Actors%E2%80%99+At+FDA+Who+Approved+Abortion+Drug">sent a letter</a> on Friday telling Kennedy to fire the “rogue actors” at the agency who approved the lethal drug.

‘Every Abortion Is A Violation Of Human Rights’: Pro-Life Advocates Demand FDA Yank Abortion Drug

A group of 13 House Republicans led by North Carolina Congressman Mark Harris demanded Friday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fire the bureaucrats responsible for the FDA’s “alarming” approval of a new abortion pill, according to a letter obtained by The Daily Wire. 
Harris told Kennedy that the FDA’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-lifers-demand-answers-from-trump-admin-after-shocking-abortion-pill-approval?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Pro-Lifers+Demand+Answers+From+Trump+Admin+After+%E2%80%98Shocking%E2%80%99+Abortion+Pill+Approval">approval</a> of Evita Solutions’ generic mifepristone, the drug used in over 60% of all abortions, ran contrary to the Trump administration’s pro-life record. Harris and his co-signers suggested that “rogue actors” in the FDA were responsible for the decision. 
“The approval of a generic version of this dangerous drug not only contradicts the announced review but also runs directly counter to this Administration’s stated pro-life agenda,” the lawmakers <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/10.3.25-Letter-to-Sec-Kennedy-on-Abortion-Pill-Approval.pdf">wrote</a>. “It is clear that rogue actors within the FDA are working to undermine both the sanctity of life and the Administration’s commitment to protecting it.”
They said that Kennedy should look at removing the officials responsible for the decision. 
“For this reason, we respectfully urge that you consider the director of the Office of Generic Drugs, the director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, and other bureaucrats responsible for this reckless decision as part of your reduction-in-force evaluations,” he wrote. 
Signing onto the letter were Reps. Josh Brecheen (OK), Keith Self (Texas), Eli Crane (AZ), Paul Gosar (AZ), Chip Roy (Texas), Mary Miller (IL), Andy Biggs (AZ), Barry Moore (AL), Scott Perry (PA), Ralph Norman (SC), Sheri Biggs (SC), and Ben Cline (VA). 
Mifepristone works by starving an unborn child to death by cutting it off from the necessary nutrients provided by its mother. A different drug is then taken to induce labor and expel the deceased baby from the mother. 
Harris said that removing the officials responsible for the decision would send a message that the administration still believes in defending innocent life. 
“As stewards of the taxpayers’ trust and defenders of the unborn, we must ensure that no federal office operates in open defiance of our values or the administration’s pro-life commitments. This is a critical moment to send a clear message that the lives of the unborn and the health of women will not be compromised by bureaucratic mismanagement or ideological activism.
Commenting on the approval, Health and Human Services Communications Director Andrew Nixon told The Daily Wire that the FDA “has very limited discretion in deciding whether to approve a generic drug. By law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must approve an application if it demonstrates that the generic drug is identical to the brand-name drug.”
Nixon added that applicants for generic drugs do not need to submit independent evidence proving safety and efficacy. He also noted that HHS is conducting a review of the “reported adverse effects” of mifepristone.
Only two other drug companies, Danco Labs and Genbiopro, were previously approved to distribute the life-ending drug. The FDA wrote to Evita Solutions on September 30 that it had “concluded that adequate information has been presented to demonstrate that the drug meets the requirements for approval.”
The announcement shocked pro-life advocates, who have continued to press for action to crack down on the widespread distribution of abortion pills across the country.

Republicans Demand RFK Fire ‘Rogue Actors’ At FDA Who Approved Abortion Drug

Pro-life advocates are demanding answers from the White House after the FDA approved a new abortion pill in a “shocking” decision earlier this week.
The FDA on Tuesday gave <a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/appletter/2025/216616s000ltr.pdf">approval</a> for Evita Solutions to distribute mifepristone, a drug that is used to end the life of an unborn child in up to 63% of all abortions. After a pregnant woman takes mifepristone, her unborn child is cut off from the nutrients it needs to survive and is effectively starved to death. A different drug is then taken to induce labor and expel the deceased baby from the mother. 
The fatal drug has been increasingly available after the Biden administration allowed it to be mailed by doctors. Leftist activists ship the drugs illegally across the country with impunity. 
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) called the approval “shocking” and said he had lost faith in FDA leadership. 
“This is shocking. FDA has just approved ANOTHER chemical abortion drug, when the evidence shows chemical abortion drugs are dangerous and even deadly for the mother. And of course 100% lethal to the child,” Hawley <a href="https://x.com/HawleyMO/status/1973801164052574259">wrote</a> on X. 
“FDA had promised to do a top-to-bottom safety review of the chemical abortion drug, but instead they’ve just greenlighted new versions of it for distribution. I have lost confidence in the leadership at FDA,” he added. 
Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) also questioned the move.
&#8220;Wow! The FDA just approved a generic version of the abortion pill, Mifepristone, a drug that ends a baby&#8217;s life 100% of the time and harms mothers. The FDA announced a new safety study just days ago, so why this new move now?&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/RepMarkHarrisNC/status/1973841437730222548">wrote</a> on X.
Only two other drug companies, Danco Labs and Genbiopro, were previously approved to distribute the life-ending drug. The FDA wrote to Evita Solutions on September 30 that it had “concluded that adequate information has been presented to demonstrate that the drug meets the requirements for approval.”
Evita Solutions says on its <a href="https://www.evitasolutionsllc.com">website</a> that “medical abortion care is rife with medically unnecessary restrictions and social stigma in the United States” and that it “believes that all people should have access to safe, affordable, high-quality, effective, and compassionate abortion care, regardless of their race, sex, gender, age, sexuality, income, or where they live.”
Evita said that it expected to have the life-ending drug available by January 2026.
&#8220;Evita Solutions is now the third manufacturer (the second generic manufacturer) with FDA approval.  Availability of our product will expand patients’ options for medication abortion with an affordable product backed by decades of safe use,&#8221; it said in a statement.
In response to questions about the drug’s approval, Health and Human Services Communications Director Andrew Nixon told The Daily Wire that the FDA “has very limited discretion in deciding whether to approve a generic drug. By law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must approve an application if it demonstrates that the generic drug is identical to the brand-name drug.”
Nixon added that applicants for generic drugs do not need to submit independent evidence proving safety and efficacy. 
“HHS is conducting a study of the reported adverse effects of mifepristone to ensure the FDA’s risk mitigation program for the drug is sufficient to protect women from unstated risks,” Nixon added. “The FDA does not endorse any drug product and directs prescribers to follow all labeling.”
The decision is already drawing backlash from pro-life advocates who have long warned about the dangers of the drug. Kelsey Pritchard, the director of state affairs for SBA Pro-Life America, called the decision “reckless.”
“This does nothing to help and fix the problem that we have with abortion drugs and mail-order abortion drugs, and instead puts a cheap drug on the market so that more unborn lives are taken and more women and girls end up in the ER,” she told The Daily Wire. 
Pritchard said that the Trump administration should reinstate restrictions on the mailing of mifepristone that the Biden administration loosened. 
“This decision is not MAGA. It is not MAHA, adding a new life ending drug to the market doesn&#8217;t make America greater or healthier, and this is not something that we would expect, especially at this time,” she added, calling for pro-life Republicans to call out the decision. 
Last month, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary told Republican attorneys general that they were studying the safety of mifepristone. Some studies have shown that the drug is not only fatal to the unborn child but can also bring serious health risks to the mother.

In a move that the U.S. State Department called “tyrannical,&#8221; a 75-year-old anti-abortion grandmother, Rose Docherty, once again found herself in handcuffs in Scotland—not for a crime of violence, but for holding a sign.
Docherty was arrested over the weekend outside Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, allegedly for violating Scotland’s sweeping “buffer zone” law, which criminalizes not only harassment or intimidation around abortion clinics, but even the vague notion of “influencing.”
In response to the arrest, the State Department issued a <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2025/09/28/us-condemns-arrest-scottish-antiabortion-campaigner/">statement</a> to the Telegraph, saying:
<blockquote>
The arrest of Rose Docherty is another egregious example of the tyrannical suppression of free speech happening across Europe. When 75-year-old grandmothers are being arrested for standing peacefully and offering conversation, common sense and basic civility are under attack. The United States will always speak out against these violations of fundamental rights.
</blockquote>
Her message on the sign read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” No confrontation, no mention of abortion, just a placard offering consensual conversation.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The law forbids any such action within 200 meters of every hospital in Scotland.
This isn’t Docherty’s first run-in with the law. She was previously arrested in August for holding the same sign in the same spot. That case was quietly dropped after global outrage and a direct rebuke from the State Department.
Docherty has had two hip replacements. After her most recent arrest, she was reportedly denied a chair for several hours while in custody. Her bail conditions now prevent her from returning not only to the buffer zone, but also to an area even larger than the restricted zone—an expansion her legal team at Alliance Defending Freedom International calls “disproportionate.”
Legal counsel Lorcan Price <a href="https://adfinternational.org/news/tyrannical-arrest-of-scottish-grandmother-abortion-buffer-zone">hit</a> the nail on the head: “This is not a case about harassment or intimidation&#8230; This is simply a grandmother, who held a sign offering to speak to anyone who would like to engage.”
Scotland’s government, led by those determined to muzzle dissent, seems committed to pushing the narrative that a peaceful granny is somehow a public threat.
In a now-infamous moment, Scottish Member of Parliament Gillian Mackay, architect of the law, even admitted that someone could potentially be criminalized for praying inside their home if visible from the street, “depending on who’s passing by the window.”
Docherty summed it up: “Conversation is not forbidden on the streets of Glasgow. And yet, this is the second time I have been arrested for doing just that.”

WASHINGTON—A Virginia school district has been accused of pushing minor Hispanic students to abort their unborn babies — a move that Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy is warning may have violated federal law.
In a letter exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, the Louisiana Republican calls on Fairfax County Public Schools to explain <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whistleblower-uncovers-secret-abortion-scandal-at-virginia-high-school-parents-deserve-better">whether it paid for the abortion</a> of a young girl&#8217;s baby, without her parents&#8217; knowledge or consent, and warns the district that &#8220;a school official pressuring minor students to obtain covert abortions using school funding is illegal and, if proven, requires concrete action by your school board to hold the perpetrators accountable.&#8221;
Fairfax County Public Schools did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Wire. However, in August, Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Michelle Reid claimed that the district had only just learned about the allegations that week and stated that such behavior would never have been tolerated.
&#8220;We will see this investigation through with the utmost seriousness, taking swift and appropriate action once we have the facts,&#8221; Reid <a href="https://www.fairfaxtimes.com/articles/governor-orders-criminal-probe-into-alleged-abortions-at-centreville-high-school/article_a1c3bc41-9b17-4ac1-8187-70eaa7de4ca3.html">said</a>. “It is my commitment to share the key findings of that investigation as soon as I am able.&#8221;
Cassidy, a physician who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, writes that in 2021, school officials arranged and paid to abort the baby of a young girl, a minor student, and &#8220;attempted to do the same for another student&#8221; without the consent of these girls&#8217; parents. The incident took place at Centreville High School, where school social worker Carolina Diaz allegedly pressured two girls to abort their babies and used school funds to pay for the abortions. A whistleblower teacher says that she brought her concerns to school administrators seven times without success.
&#8220;One 17-year-old girl ultimately had an abortion, while another student who was five months pregnant fled from the abortion clinic in fear after being pressured to have an abortion,&#8221; Cassidy wrote. &#8220;Both of these young girls allege that the school social worker, Carolina Diaz, pressured them into having abortions and told one of the girls that she &#8216;had no other choice.&#8217; On top of the already horrific situation of a school official pressuring minor students to obtain  abortions, it is alleged that school funds were used to pay for the abortion.&#8221;
The senator expresses deep concerns that Fairfax County Public Schools &#8220;seems to be concealing the fact that these allegations were brought to the school&#8217;s attention years ago but ignored by school officials.&#8221;
&#8220;Public reporting states that a Centreville High School teacher, Zenaida Perez, claims to have notified school officials about the abortions seven separate times since May 2022, only to be ignored and then retaliated against for blowing the whistle on this conduct,&#8221; wrote Cassidy. &#8220;However, in an email to Centreville High School staff and families on August 7, 2025, you claim that the school board  only learned about these allegations &#8216;earlier this week.'&#8221; 
Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin <a href="https://www.governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/news-releases/2025/august/name-1054950-en.html">directed state police to open a criminal investigation</a> into the allegations on August 13, noting that school funds may have been used to abort babies, including local, state, and federal funds.
&#8220;I am deeply concerned with the allegations that Fairfax County Public Schools officials arranged for minors to get abortions without parental consent and may have misused public funds to pay for them,&#8221; Youngkin said at the time. &#8220;I am directing the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation to open a full criminal investigation into the matter immediately.&#8221;
FCPS receives about $50 million a year in financial aid from the federal government, Cassidy noted, and the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal education funding from being used to fund abortions.
&#8220;As Chairman of the HELP Committee, I am determined to ensure that federal education funds are not being misused in violation of the law and parents’ rights to protect their children,&#8221; wrote Cassidy. &#8220;Given the seriousness of the allegations and the potential that federal funds were used by school officials to  pressure minor students into receiving covert abortions without parental consent, it is imperative  for the Committee to determine whether any federal funds were misused and whether the Hyde Amendment or other relevant laws were violated.&#8221; 
The senator called on FCPS to share, by October 6, their reporting requirements when school officials become aware that a student is pregnant. He also requested that the district share &#8220;what actions, if any, are taken in response to a school&#8217;s awareness of a student&#8217;s pregnancy.&#8221;
&#8220;In your response,&#8221; he notes, &#8220;please detail the reporting structure and provide any school-issued guidance or policy documents.&#8221; 
Sarah Zagorski, senior director of public relations and communication at Americans United for Life, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whistleblower-uncovers-secret-abortion-scandal-at-virginia-high-school-parents-deserve-better">argued to The Daily Wire in early September</a> that &#8220;parents deserve better&#8221; than the alleged treatment at the school. She mentioned a Fairfax County school board meeting where parents, educators, and community leaders asked questions about the alleged coerced abortions, questioning &#8220;whether these were isolated incidents or part of a broader pattern of overriding parental rights and disregarding state law.&#8221;
&#8220;The allegations are deeply troubling given both of the girls involved were underage. [Teacher and whistleblower Zenaida Perez] says that one student, who was five months pregnant and wanting to keep her baby, said she felt like she &#8216;had no choice.&#8217; The other girl told Perez she was terrified because her legal guardians did not know about her abortion.&#8221;
&#8220;Children need protection and parental guidance, especially when faced with an unplanned pregnancy, not forced secrecy by adults attempting to usurp fundamental rights of parents to make decisions regarding the well-being of their children,&#8221; wrote Zagorski. &#8220;Girls from marginalized communities, including Hispanic girls from Centreville High School, deserve better than betrayal from people they should trust and cover-ups by school bureaucrats.&#8221;

As the Biden administration locked up elderly grandparents and devout Christians over peaceful pro-life protests, it partnered with a radical pro-abortion organization to prosecute pro-lifers, previously unreleased emails show.
President Joe Biden’s Justice Department and FBI partnered with the National Abortion Federation for multiple investigations into pro-life protests and developed an “amazing relationship,” according to <a href="https://functionalgovernment.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/23-00119-F-5.7.2025-Production-Redacted-Final.pdf">emails</a> shared with The Daily Wire by the Functional Government Initiative. The watchdog group told The Daily Wire that the emails show a “disturbing picture of DOJ’s eagerness to meet with pro-abortion lobbyists and activists and punish pro-life Americans” in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The revelation of the apparent partnership came in a message sent by National Abortion Federation Security Manager Robert Ledogar on January 9, 2023, to the Justice Department requesting a meeting with Kristen Clarke, then the Justice Department&#8217;s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. The National Abortion Federation is the professional association for abortionists. 
In the email, Ledogar wrote that both the Justice Department and the FBI had partnered with the DOJ on multiple Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE) cases. Biden’s crackdown on peaceful pro-life protests landed elderly grandparents, devout Christians, and other pro-life activists in federal prison. 
“Over the past two (2) years that I have been with NAF Security, I have witnessed an amazing relationship with the [National Abortion Federation] Security Director Michelle Davidson and members of the DOJ Civil Rights Division AUSA Sanjay Patel, AUSA Katelyn Smith, AUSA Laura Cowall, and Supervisor AUSA Paige Fitzgerald,” Ledogar wrote. 
Patel headed up the Justice Department’s &#8220;Task Force on Violence Against Reproductive Health Providers,” and  Cowall is the current deputy chief of the Civil Rights Division.

“The past year, NAF Security has been part of several FACE Act investigations, working with [assistant U.S. attorneys] and the FBI in TN, FL, VA, CA, NY, MD, and NC. The guidance from the team in DC has been nothing short of superb,” he added. 
It is unclear which specific FACE Act investigations the National Abortion Federation was involved in, but at least two of the states referenced by Ledogar had major FACE Act prosecutions. 
In Tennessee, six pro-lifers faced over 10 years in prison after they were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-church-meeting-is-now-a-conspiracy-pro-lifers-pray-outside-court-after-conviction-over-peaceful-protest">convicted</a> of violating the FACE Act and conspiring against rights. Three of the two pro-lifers were sentenced to prison over that case, which involved a group of Christians singing and praying inside the hallway of an office building outside an abortion facility. In New York, pro-life mother <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-harris-doj-sending-another-pro-lifer-to-prison-young-mother-hit-with-3-plus-years">Bevelyn Williams</a> and Catholic priest Fidelis Moscinski were sentenced to prison over FACE Act violations. 
“It sounds like NAF and other abortion activists were trying to remove Lady Justice’s blindfold, and Kristen Clarke and Sanjay Patel were allowing it. Action must be taken,” Functional Government Initiative spokesman Roderick Law told The Daily Wire. 
Earlier in the email, Ledogar wrote that the National Abortion Federation attended events like the March for Life, the annual event in Washington, D.C., where tens of thousands gather to urge the nation to protect the unborn, to “identify and witness the extremists that find the need to prevent reproductive health care.”
In response to Ledogar’s email, Clarke asked if the Justice Department&#8217;s Criminal Section had “any concerns” with her meeting with Ledogar. Then-Deputy Chief of the DOJ Civil Rights Division’s criminal section Robert Moossy replied, “CrimeSec has no concerns.” 
The full extent of the partnership between the FBI, DOJ, and National Abortion Federation is not clear from the email. But Law told The Daily Wire that the emails revealed a troubling partnership between pro-abortion activists and the federal government. 
“These emails reveal undue influence of abortion activists on federal law enforcement investigations, and violations of DOJ norms,” he said. “The Biden DOJ Civil Rights Division actions undertaken with outside influence appear to violate the civil rights of the Americans convicted under the FACE Act. “
The Trump Justice Department told The Daily Wire that it had “no comment on the actions of the previous administration.”
“Under the leadership of President Trump and Attorney General Bondi, this Department of Justice no longer weaponizes the use of the FACE Act to unfairly target crisis pregnancy centers, pro-life organizations, and churches,” a department spokesman said. 
Pro-lifers arrested under Biden’s crackdown included defendants like 89-year-old communist concentration camp survivor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ive-paid-the-price-89-year-old-pro-life-activist-speaks-at-sentencing">Eva Edl</a> and 75-year-old Massachusetts grandmother <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-doj-sends-75-year-old-woman-to-prison-for-2-years-for-violating-face-act">Paula Paulette Harlow</a>. It also featured armed FBI raids of the rural Tennessee home of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kidnapped-at-gunpoint-pro-life-activist-testifies-about-harrowing-fbi-raid-of-home">Paul Vaughn</a>, a father of 11, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-life-father-mark-houck-sues-biden-doj-over-arrest-raid-for-millions">Mark Houck</a>, a father of seven. 
During his first week in office, Trump pardoned nearly two dozen peaceful pro-life activists, including several who were serving lengthy prison sentences. Trump called the prosecutions ridiculous. 
The National Abortion Federation responded to the pardons by saying the move was “disturbing and concerning for the safety of abortion providers and their patients.”
The Trump administration also issued <a href="https://www.justice.gov/media/1386461/dl">new guidance</a> to prosecute the FACE Act only in cases of extreme violence or property damage. Historically, the FACE Act has primarily been used to go after pro-life individuals, even though it is technically supposed to protect crisis pregnancy centers as well.

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett defended the 2022 decision overturning landmark abortion cases Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey during a recent interview — and also admitted that the public protest in reaction to that case caused her to invest in a bulletproof vest for her own protection.
Barrett, in her first interview since joining the court in 2020, told CBS anchor Norah O&#8217;Donnell that the Court&#8217;s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization had not outlawed abortion at all, but rather had returned it to the democratic process. She also said that both Roe and Casey had wrongfully defended a &#8220;right&#8221; that did not exist under the Constitution.

Must Watch: Justice Amy Coney Barrett sets the record straight on the majority&#8217;s message to the American people in the Dobbs decision:
“The central message of Dobbs: Dobbs did not render abortion illegal. Dobbs did not say anything about whether abortion is immoral. Dobbs said… <a href="https://t.co/isFjhf8NdM">pic.twitter.com/isFjhf8NdM</a>

&#8220;The central message of Dobbs: Dobbs did not render abortion illegal. Dobbs did not say anything about whether abortion is immoral. Dobbs said that these are questions that are left to the states. &#8230; What Dobbs says is that those calls are properly left to the democratic process, and the states have been working those out,&#8221; Barrett said.
&#8220;The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs gave that decision to the democratic process and to the states,” Barrett said. “It didn’t roll back rights. It didn’t render abortion illegal, unconstitutional, or anything else. And in effect, many states very fully protected abortion rights, more than under the regime of Roe since the time of the decision in Dobbs.&#8221;
O&#8217;Donnell pushed back, arguing that overturning Roe had stripped away &#8220;a federal right to abortion. A constitutional right to an abortion.&#8221;
Barrett argued that such a right had never existed in the first place — and that both Roe and Casey &#8220;had been in error&#8221; to assert that it had.
&#8220;Well, what it said is that the Constitution had not protected the abortion right under the Due Process Clause. And it said that Roe had been an error and Casey had been in error to hold otherwise,&#8221; she said.
The protests that erupted both before and after the decision was rendered — particularly after a leaked draft of the decision went public — prompted Barrett to take action to protect herself. She told O&#8217;Donnell that she&#8217;d purchased a bulletproof vest — and then had to explain to her own children why she&#8217;d felt the need to do so.

Parents, educators and community leaders recently attended a Fairfax County School Board meeting in Virginia to ask questions about an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/virginia-school-system-investigating-claims-staff-arranged-students-abortions-without-parental-consent">alleged coerced abortion case</a> involving two Hispanic minors at Centreville High School.
Centreville High School has a <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/virginia/districts/fairfax-county-public-schools/centreville-high-school-20462__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!z-3bjZRUUFzVpcjUUXeCnOmT5iO0fbyCiy8sK0gxSSxuJkQ3-e2SK8nKwzsT-qgLY1fjiIEr7WbqqhMTXRP5j4yv$">minority enrollment</a> of 69%, and 32% of its students are economically disadvantaged. For pregnancy matters, the school’s policy states that students are encouraged to discuss their concerns with their parents.
The whistleblower at the school, Zenaida Perez, is an English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher and is originally from Cuba. She immigrated to the United States in 1990 and holds a master’s degree in ESL.
Perez claims that, beginning in 2022, she discovered a social worker was arranging and paying for minor girls to obtain abortions without parental knowledge or consent, which is required in the state of Virginia.
She reportedly brought her concerns to school administrators seven times. But instead of district officials addressing these allegations, Perez says she experienced bullying from administrators and attempts from the school to <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.fairfaxtimes.com/articles/governor-orders-criminal-probe-into-alleged-abortions-at-centreville-high-school/article_a1c3bc41-9b17-4ac1-8187-70eaa7de4ca3.html__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!z-3bjZRUUFzVpcjUUXeCnOmT5iO0fbyCiy8sK0gxSSxuJkQ3-e2SK8nKwzsT-qgLY1fjiIEr7WbqqhMTXUI6JXVn$">undermine her integrity</a> by falsely accusing her of handing out pregnancy tests to students.
The allegations are deeply troubling given both of the girls involved were underage. Perez says that one student, who was five months pregnant and wanting to keep her baby, said she felt like she “had no choice.” The other girl told Perez she was terrified because her legal guardians did not know about her abortion.
Worried parents in attendance at the school board meeting questioned whether these were isolated incidents or part of a broader pattern of overriding parental rights and disregarding state law.
Most Americans <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/16/democrats-gop-parental-notification-abortion-laws-00097245__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!z-3bjZRUUFzVpcjUUXeCnOmT5iO0fbyCiy8sK0gxSSxuJkQ3-e2SK8nKwzsT-qgLY1fjiIEr7WbqqhMTXYCxdjTu$">support</a> parental consent for abortion as they recognize that life-and-death decisions should not be made without parental guidance. In Troxel v. Granville, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the fundamental rights of “parents in the care, custody, and control of their children,” and 36 states require parental involvement in abortion-related decisions for minors.
Despite the guarantee of parental rights, Virginia is attempting to strip them from the abortion equation by passing <a href="https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20251/HJ1">House Joint Resolution 1</a>, a constitutional amendment that enshrines intentionally broad &#8220;reproductive freedom&#8221; as a right in the state constitution.
The Centreville High School case also underscores over a half-century of abuse by so-called &#8220;reproductive health care&#8221; advocates targeting minority communities for abortion.
Sadly, abortion peddlers know impoverished minority girls are abortion-vulnerable due to the broader inequalities they face, like racial prejudice, economic disparities, and access to authentic health care. They are also unlikely to resist coercion, especially when it comes from authority figures like school officials.
Their struggles are not just statistics to me, because I lived them. I grew up in the middle of the same kind of hardship after my mother’s <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://aul.org/author/sarah-zagorskiaul-org/__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!z-3bjZRUUFzVpcjUUXeCnOmT5iO0fbyCiy8sK0gxSSxuJkQ3-e2SK8nKwzsT-qgLY1fjiIEr7WbqqhMTXYscX0kk$">attempted abortion</a> with me. She had come to the U.S. from Honduras, already struggling to raise seven children she couldn’t provide for, trapped in an abusive home. She too believed she had no other choice.
She did defy coercion from her abortion physician in the end, but this kind of resistance is rare. Victims are often threatened, manipulated, and face real barriers like lack of money, absence of support, or fear for their safety.
I am thankful that the Governor Glenn Youngkin has directed the state police to open a criminal investigation into the case. Parental rights should not be usurped, and school employees have no right to hide secret abortions from parents.
Children need protection and parental guidance, especially when faced with an unplanned pregnancy, not forced secrecy by adults attempting to usurp fundamental rights of parents to make decisions regarding the wellbeing of their children.
Girls from marginalized communities, including Hispanic girls from Centreville High School, deserve better than betrayal from people they should trust and cover-ups by school bureaucrats.
