The abortion pill is many times more dangerous than the FDA claimed, with more than one in 10 women suffering serious complications, a new study found.
About 11.2% of 154,554 women experienced a &#8220;serious adverse event&#8221; after taking the mifepristone abortion pill in 2023, according to new <a href="https://www.ffroa.com/chemical-abortion-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> commissioned by the Foundation for the Restoration of America and released Monday.
That works out to about 17,310 women who suffered serious adverse events, which can include hemorrhaging, needing a blood transfusion, an emergency room visit, and even deadly conditions like sepsis.
This is about 22 times higher than what the FDA put on its label for the brand Mifeprex in 2023 — the FDA <a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2023/020687Orig1s025Lbl.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> clinical studies saying less than 0.5% of women suffered &#8220;serious adverse reactions&#8221; to mifepristone.
The two-pill chemical abortion regimen, mifepristone usually followed by misoprostol, aims to end the life of the unborn baby and expel it from the woman&#8217;s uterus. However, the drugs sometimes fail to expel all the fetal tissue, which can cause life-threatening complications.
&#8220;This drastic difference between the disclosed risk and the actual risk to patients undermines informed consent and endangers the lives of pregnant women,&#8221; the researchers wrote, adding that policymakers and regulators should take action.
&#8220;This is much different than the lie that women have been told that these drugs are safer than Tylenol,&#8221; Dr. Christina Francis, a board-certified OBGYN who has been in practice for two decades, told The Daily Wire.
Plus, the research only analyzed data from insurance claims for government insurance like Medicare and Medicaid between 2017 and 2023, so the total number of women who suffered serious complications is likely even higher.
Over those six years, the number of chemical abortions jumped dramatically from less than 100,000 to over 150,000 a year, likely due to the drug&#8217;s increased availability online, the insurance claims data show.
Medication abortions are far more common than surgical abortions. Medication abortions made up 63% of all abortions in 2023, up from 31% in 2014, <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/2024/03/medication-abortion-accounted-63-all-us-abortions-2023-increase-53-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute.
The abortion pill is likely the main factor driving up the country&#8217;s total number of abortions in recent years, even in the wake of the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
Abortion advocates have argued that the abortion pill should be more available to order online now that some Republican-led states ban abortion.
A few months before Roe vs. Wade was overturned, the FDA scrapped the requirement that women must obtain abortion pills in person from a health provider, allowing them to obtain them online through the mail.
Afterward, Francis, the pro-life OBGYN, said one emergency doctor pulled her aside and asked, &#8220;What has changed because we&#8217;re seeing so many more women come in with these complications.&#8221;
Mifepristone was originally approved by the FDA in 2000.
&#8220;This bombshell report is further evidence that our government uses phony data and politicized science to lie to its people. In this case, those lies further political ideologies rather than the health, safety, and well-being of women and children,&#8221; Doug Truax, founder of the Foundation for the Restoration of America, which commissioned the study, told The Daily Wire.
&#8220;If you had any other drug that was kind of similar in terms of the magnitude of what this thing does, anywhere north of 2% and they&#8217;d shut it down,&#8221; Truax said. 
&#8220;They&#8217;re just hell bent on just increasing the amount of abortions.&#8221;

West Virginia Congressman Riley Moore and Utah Senator Mike Lee on Tuesday introduced legislation that would ensure that new moms are not “penalized” under federal law for deciding to leave the workforce and stay home with their child. 
The Republican lawmakers introduced a new bill that would amend the Family and Medical Leave Act to ensure that parents are not required to pay back health care costs if they decide to stay home after the birth of their child. The bill, first shared with The Daily Wire, is titled the Fairness for Stay-at-Home-Parents Act.
“Being pro-life means being pro-family. That means ensuring families aren’t penalized for deciding to have a parent stay home with their new baby,” Moore told The Daily Wire. “Our bill ensures families won&#8217;t face a huge bill for insurance premiums simply for choosing what&#8217;s best for their family.”
If passed, the legislation could save families thousands of dollars if a parent decides to stay at home to take care of their child after parental leave. Currently, employers are allowed to claw back insurance premiums if a parent decides to leave the workforce. Family insurance premiums cost an average of $25,000 dollars per year. 
The legislation would “prohibit an employer from recovering any health care premium paid by the employer for an employee if the employee fails to return to work due to the birth of a child,&#8221; according to a copy of the legislation shared with The Daily Wire. 
Lee said that the intent of the bill was to help growing American families. 
“Our legislation rectifies a problem with the Family and Medical Leave Act that unfairly impacts mothers who decide to stay home with their newborns after maternity leave,” Lee told The Daily Wire. “Each additional financial burden we can remove from growing American families is a victory, and this bill will make it easier for hundreds of thousands of new parents to care for their kids.” 
The legislation has earned the endorsement of conservative groups, including the American Principles Project and the Human Coalition. 
Brad Wilcox, a fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, says he thought the proposal from the lawmakers was a good policy that would help give parents more choice. 
“Family policy should give parents the choice to care for their young children,” he said. “The Fairness for Stay-at-Home-Parents Act does this, which is why I think it is a smart idea.”

WASHINGTON— As the United Kingdom negotiates a trade deal with the United States, the country&#8217;s leaders are grappling with a new understanding of the &#8220;Special Relationship&#8221; — namely, that President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration is very serious about European nations respecting the rights of their citizens.
Vice President JD Vance roundly condemned Britain&#8217;s prosecution of pro-life activists in February, and over the weekend, the State Department announced that it is monitoring the case of Livia Tossici-Bolt, a woman prosecuted for holding a sign near a Bournemouth abortion clinic that reads: &#8220;Here to talk if you want.&#8221;
&#8220;U.S.-UK relations share a mutual respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms,&#8221; the State Department&#8217;s Democracy, Human Rights, &amp; Labor Bureau said in a statement. &#8220;However, as Vice President Vance has said, we are concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom.&#8221;
The State Department confirmed to The Daily Wire on Tuesday evening that it is monitoring Tossici-Bolt&#8217;s case, that it is important to the United States that the United Kingdom &#8220;respect and protect freedom of expression,&#8221; as the department said over the weekend, and that State Department senior advisor Sam Samson met with Tossici-Bolt in the United Kingdom recently. 
Sources close to the situation told The Daily Wire that State Department officials held bilateral meetings with members of the British government about the topic, including those officials pushing hate speech laws within the United Kingdom. The United States has emphasized that its alliance with the United Kingdom must be civilizational, and that American allies must be on board with American values, including freedom of speech.
Now, headlines from The Telegraph and other high-profile European publications are signaling that the United Kingdom&#8217;s censorship of its citizens could actually be a massive deal in regard to the transatlantic relationship.
&#8220;No free trade with US without free speech, [British Prime Minister Keir] Starmer warned,&#8221; reads a Telegraph headline, with the subhead: &#8220;PM’s hopes of avoiding Donald Trump’s tariffs may hinge on case of pro-life activist arrested for peaceful protest.&#8221;
&#8220;[UK officials] were surprised the U.S. cares about this,&#8221; one source shared. &#8220;It&#8217;s a field of diplomacy that hasn&#8217;t been addressed.&#8221;
A source familiar with the trade negotiations told The Telegraph that there should be “no free trade without free speech&#8221; — likely a point of concern to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s attempts to strike a free trade deal with the United States. It&#8217;s a big change for British leaders used to dealing with President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, which, one source pointed out to The Daily Wire, wasn&#8217;t worried at all about the matter — in fact, he was jailing pro-life activists within the United States.
<div id="attachment_901637" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/as-britain-negotiates-trade-deal-state-department-takes-aim-at-its-censorship-of-pro-life-woman/munich-security-conference-opening-day" rel="attachment wp-att-901637"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-901637" class="wp-image-901637 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/GettyImages-2199525377-864x576.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/GettyImages-2199525377-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/GettyImages-2199525377-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/GettyImages-2199525377-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/GettyImages-2199525377.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" /></a>US Vice President JD Vance during the Munich Security Conference in Munich, Germany, on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025.  Photographer: Alex Kraus/Bloomberg via Getty Images</div>
Tossici-Bolt is one of several pro-life activists who believe that abortion is the murder of an unborn child and have sought to change hearts on the matter through silent protest and prayer outside of abortion clinics. Abortion clinic &#8220;buffer zone&#8221; laws in the United Kingdom prohibit these basic activities, and authorities have arrested individuals like Isabel Vaughn-Spruce as they silently pray in buffer zones, accusing them of illegal protest.
A verdict in Tossici-Bolt&#8217;s case is due Friday, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/31/anti-abortion-protest-bournemouth-free-speech-row-trump/">according to the Telegraph</a>.
The publicity around the issue prompted Kemi Badenoch, a conservative member of Parliament, to warn that free speech in Britain is &#8220;at risk&#8221; and that the United Kingdom should not be “persecuting people for expressing themselves.&#8221;
“We have freedom of expression in this country, we have free speech in this country,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/04/01/free-speech-at-risk-amid-abortion-row-badenoch-warns/?ICID=continue_without_subscribing_reg_first">said</a>. &#8220;However, it is at risk because a lot of people are expanding the law way beyond the original intention.”
Britain&#8217;s Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, downplayed the matter Tuesday morning on BBC radio, saying, &#8220;Obviously there are things from different people in the administration that they’ve said in the past about this, but it’s not been part of the trade negotiations that I’ve been part of.”
Meanwhile, free speech allies like ADF International are thrilled that the United States has spoken up.
<div>
“We are very grateful to the US for standing up for freedom of speech in Great Britain at a time when our leaders are intent on censoring us. This censorship has been happening gradually over decades but the implications of it are being fully realized now,&#8221;  Lorcan Price, an Irish barrister and legal counsel for ADF International, told The Daily Wire on Tuesday evening.
&#8220;It is right for the US to call out human rights abuses in the UK out of concern as a close ally — at times it is necessary for allies to speak frankly and truthfully to each other and this is one of those times,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We sincerely hope that the increased attention on Livia’s prosecution will lead to a return to free speech in the UK.”

Vance condemned the United Kingdom&#8217;s censorship in strong terms when he spoke at the Munich Security Conference in February,  arguing that “free speech in Britain and across Europe &#8220;was in retreat,&#8221; and referencing the story of Adam Smith Connor, an army veteran who prayed outside an abortion clinic in the United Kingdom on behalf of his unborn son, who his girlfriend aborted years earlier.
The vice president told the gathered world leaders: “Adam was found guilty of breaking the government’s new buffer zones law, which criminalizes silent prayer and other actions that could influence a person’s decision within two hundred meters of an abortion facility.&#8221; 
Speaking Tuesday evening at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., at the premiere of Rod Dreher&#8217;s &#8220;Live Not By Lies&#8221; documentary, Vance argued that if citizens around the world &#8220;speak the truth, if we refuse to live by lies, then I think we can redeliver on the promise of civilization.&#8221;
&#8220;We can rebuild the kind of society where virtue and freedom in our ancient liberties are preserved and enforced, and facilitated by our government, rather than torn down by our government,&#8221; the vice president said, adding, &#8220;You see, in Europe, people arrested for praying, and you have the police asking them, well what are you praying about? As if it was any of the police&#8217;s business.&#8221;
As for Tossici-Bolt herself, she said Monday that she&#8217;s grateful to the United States for “prioritizing the preservation and promotion of freedom of expression and for engaging in robust diplomacy to that end”.
“It deeply saddens me that the UK is seen as an international embarrassment when it comes to free speech,&#8221; she told The Telegraph. &#8220;My case, involving only a mere invitation to speak, is but one example of the extreme and undeniable state of censorship in Great Britain today.”

As Britain Negotiates Trade Deal, State Department Takes Aim At Its Censorship Of Pro-Life Woman

JD Vance

State Department

United Kingdom

Hundreds of pro-life activists from across the country gathered on Capitol Hill Thursday to push lawmakers to take advantage of rare opportunity to defund abortion giant Planned Parenthood
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America said that over 300 activists from 39 states would meet with congressional offices to urge lawmakers to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood through the budget reconciliation process. The last time Republicans had a similar opportunity to gut Planned Parenthood of its funding was in 2017, when the effort failed by one vote in the Senate. 
Planned Parenthood was given around $699 million in taxpayer dollars in 2022-2023, according to its most recent annual report. The federal funding makes up about 34% of the organization’s annual revenue. The same report also revealed the organization ended the lives of nearly 400,000 unborn babies. 
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser told The Daily Wire that the upcoming budget negotiations were the best chance for Republicans to defund Planned Parenthood in eight years. 
“This is the biggest pot of Planned Parenthood and big abortion funding that the federal government is involved in,” she told The Daily Wire. “We provide $2 million a day for this so that they can spend $70 million last election cycle trying to defeat our candidates, unsuccessfully, thank goodness. But most importantly they are using it to build the institution of Planned Parenthood.” 
In 2017, a similar effort fell short after the late Senator John McCain decided at the last minute not to back a reconciliation bill, leaving Republicans one vote short of defunding Planned Parenthood and repealing Obamacare. 
Dannenfelser said now was the “perfect storm” to defund Planned Parenthood, given Republican control of the White House and Congress and the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency. She said that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)was the best speaker pro-lifers have ever worked on this issue. 
“We’ve got a good shot,” she told The Daily Wire, saying that the lobby day was to keep a focus on the defunding so that it wouldn’t be negotiated away during the reconciliation process. The money that could be defunded through reconciliation would be $500 million to Planned Parenthood through Medicaid. 
If successful, Dannenfelser said that it would be a monumental victory for the pro-life moment and could spell doom for Planned Parenthood. 
“You take that amount of money away for one or two years, and I really do think for an already hobbled organization, it could just bring them down,” she said. 
During a Thursday rally with several Republican lawmakers and pro-life activists, Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) said that Planned Parenthood was a “murder for profit organization” that should “never receive another penny of taxpayer dollars.” She added that she was making it her mission to “defund Planned Parenthood once and for all,” saying that its status as a non-profit should be revoked. 
Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) also spoke at the event, saying that Planned Parenthood was a “baby killing machine as they abort over a thousand babies every single day.” 
Republicans have promised for years to defund Planned Parenthood after undercover videos published in 2015 showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted baby parts and organs. Yet the abortion provider has continued to receive hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year. 
The pro-life activists&#8217; visit to Capitol Hill comes one day after 150 national and state pro-lifer organizations sent a <a href="https://sbaprolife.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Defund-Big-Abortion-Letter.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to members of Congress urging them to take action to fully defund Planned Parenthood.

A man convicted over the brutal beating of two elderly pro-life sidewalk counselors outside of a Baltimore Planned Parenthood will be retried after a jury could not come to a verdict on a first-degree felony assault charge last month. 
Patrick Brice, 28, will be retried by state prosecutors over the 2023 beating of Mark Crosby and Richard Schaefer outside of Planned Parenthood that left them both bloodied. At the time of the attack, Crosby was 84 years old. Schaefer was 73. 
Brice was convicted last month on four lesser counts related to the attack but dodged the more serious first-degree assault charge due to a hung jury.
Brice was convicted on two counts of second-degree assault and two counts of reckless endangerment and was set to be sentenced on March 20 before the decision to retry the first-degree assault charge.
Baltimore State’s Attorney Ivan Bates <a href="https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/criminal-justice/patrick-brice-retrial-assault-anti-abortion-protesters-planned-parenthood-baltimore-JY43YR6ZGVH53PA6U6RP2Y3LXA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Baltimore Banner that his office is “supporting victims and witnesses of crimes and ensuring justice is served in Baltimore.”
“While we understand the victim’s frustrations, we have made every effort to ensure they fully understand the process and have access to the necessary support,” Bates said. “As this is an open and ongoing matter, we will continue to provide this support throughout the case resolution process.”
A pre-trial conference on the case is <a href="https://www.wmar2news.com/local/prosecutors-to-retry-baltimore-man-caught-on-video-attacking-planned-parenthood-protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slated</a> for Friday. A conviction on first-degree felony assault could carry a 25-year prison sentence. 
Crosby previously told The Daily Wire that he would be willing to go back to court to have the case retried, saying he was surprised that the jury did not come to a consensus. 
The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDMYSWHJuNM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">footage</a> shows Brice tackling Schaefer into a large potted plant after a heated exchange. Crosby then runs over to help Schaefer before he is forced to the ground. The video then shows Brice punching Crosby in the face and kicking him in the head.
“I call it attempted murder. If you watch the video, he actually is straddling me and he hits me double fisted,” Crosby said.
Crosby was hospitalized after the attack and treated for a fractured bone in his face, blindness in one eye, head and neck pain, two fractured fingers, and bruising on his arms and legs.
Crosby believed that one of the reasons for the attack was that he and Schaefer had been effective in convincing women to turn to a nearby crisis pregnancy center. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trial-begins-for-man-accused-of-brutally-beating-elderly-pro-lifers-outside-planned-parenthood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously told</a> The Daily Wire that both men have frequently returned to the Planned Parenthood after the attack.

Crime

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed a Democrat-backed bill on Tuesday that advocates say would have been used to target peaceful pro-life protesters and sidewalk counselors outside of abortion facilities. 
The bill would have sharply restricted the activities of pro-life advocates around abortion facilities, including imposing penalties for “impeding” access to an abortion provider. In his veto message, the Republican governor said that the legislation was an unconstitutional attack on free speech. 
“This legislation is an unconstitutional time, place, and manner restriction on the God-given, constitutionally protected right to the freedom of speech,” Youngkin <a href="https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20251/SB1324/text/SB1324VG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. “It creates new criminal penalties for what one might say or where they stand when they say it. If this bill were to become law, a citizen of the Commonwealth, the crucible of our representative democracy, could be jailed simply for carrying a sign.”
The legislation, <a href="https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20251/SB1324/text/SB1324ER" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SB 1324</a>, would create penalties for anyone “who knowingly obstructs, detains, hinders, impedes, blocks, or delays another person&#8217;s entry to or exit” from a health care facility. 
It would also block anyone from approaching “another person within eight feet of such person in the public way or sidewalk area within a radius of 40 feet from any entrance door to a health care facility, unless such other person consents to the approach, for the purpose of giving, tendering, or exhibiting any material to, displaying a sign to, or engaging in oral protest, education, or counseling with such other person.”
That provision would have restricted the work of pro-life sidewalk counselors who gather outside abortion facilities to urge women not to end the life of their unborn child and frequently offer help with their pregnancies. 
The Democrat-backed legislation <a href="https://legiscan.com/VA/votes/SB1324/2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> the House of Delegates 51-45 and Senate 21-19 in party-line votes. 
Pro-life advocates said that SB 1324 was meant to chill their speech.
“This bill is part of a concerted effort to stifle efforts to provide oversight of abortion providers and prevent individuals and groups from counseling women away from abortion,” Victoria Cobb of the Virginia-based Family Foundation <a href="https://www.lifenews.com/2025/01/29/trump-pardoned-pro-life-americans-now-virginia-democrats-want-to-lock-them-up/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> as the measure worked its way through the legislature. “SB 1324 represents a clear attack on the ability to peacefully voice opposition to abortion, criminalizing the very act of offering alternatives and support to women visiting these facilities.”
The law would have been similar to the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal offense to sit or stand in front of the entrances to abortion facilities. During the Biden administration, FACE was used to lock up peaceful pro-life protesters. 
President Donald Trump has taken a drastically different approach, pardoning the pro-lifers targeted by Biden, and directing his Justice Department to only prosecute FACE cases in instances of extreme violence. 
Youngkin on Tuesday also vetoed a number of other Democrat backed-bills, including legislation on gun control, pushing so-called green energy, and expanding recreational marijuana.

Top Planned Parenthood executives are paid three times more than the average non-profit chief executive officer, according to a new watchdog report on the abortion giant and its affiliates.
The American Life League on Thursday <a href="https://all.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Final-Version-STOPP_CEOcompensation2025.pdf">revealed</a> that Planned Parenthood CEOs have seen their incomes significantly increase in the last few years, even as many of the group&#8217;s facilities <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/us/planned-parenthood-clinics-takeaways.html">face</a> financial problems. The average salary of a Planned Parenthood CEO increased from $317,564 to $352,661 — an 11% increase — between 2020 and 2023, according to tax forms analyzed by the American Life League. 
“Planned Parenthood’s CEOs and its New York headquarters employees continue to see substantial increases in their salaries, even as the organization as a whole claims financial decline,” the report, first shared with The Daily Wire, found. 
Poring through the most recent non-profit financial filings available, the American Life League found that the average CEO of a Planned Parenthood affiliate is paid much more than the average American non-profit CEO
“In the US, the average salary for a nonprofit CEO is roughly $117,000 a year. Planned Parenthood more than triples that with an average annual CEO salary of $352,661,” the report says. “It is extremely clear that Planned Parenthood’s priority is money and the ability to funnel that money back into the pockets of its own CEOs.”
The most recent yearly compensation of Alexis McGill Johnson, the president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was $904,014, a 32% increase since 2021, according to the American Life League. 
The report also featured the top 20 Planned Parenthood affiliates by their income and CEO compensation. At the top were affiliates in Los Angeles, Mar Monte, the Pacific Northwest, Orange and San Bernardino Counties, and Greater New York. Additionally, it ranked the top 10 Planned Parenthood affiliate CEOs by income.

Planned Parenthood has received hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars. According to its most recent annual report, Planned Parenthood received around $699.3 million in federal funding in 2022-2023. That is about 34% of the organization’s annual revenue.

&#8220;Planned Parenthood continues to grow tremendously wealthy, and taxpayers should be outraged at the nearly $700,000,000 given by our government to Planned Parenthood during this last fiscal year,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;Abortion remains Planned Parenthood’s main priority, and it admits to murdering at least 392,715 preborn children in the 2022–2023 fiscal year.

American Life League Researcher ​​Katherine Van Dyke, who said that it was &#8220;staggering&#8221; how much the abortion execs were being paid, told The Daily Wire that she would like to see President Donald Trump cut the funding through his Department of Government Efficiency efforts. 
 “We would like to see them defunded,” she said. “We would like people to see from these numbers, we want Americans to know that this is what your taxpayer money is going toward.”

As the Senate considers Dr. Martin Makary’s nomination to lead the Food and Drug Administration, the safety of all Americans — especially women and children — must be a top priority. For far too long, the FDA has been grossly negligent regarding essential safeguards surrounding the abortion-inducing drug mifepristone. Dr. Makary’s initial hearing provided a glimpse into his commitment to <a href="https://grabien.com/file/getmedia?id=2831540&amp;key=756f0397187f6b49fdaab04e60406327&amp;userid=17147">data-based approaches</a> to providing the best care for our patients. I’m hopeful that this expected confirmation will stand as a first step to the FDA reprioritizing the health and safety of women and children.
Despite the common refrain that abortion should be a decision &#8220;between a woman and her doctor,&#8221; doctors are too often left out of the picture by what has become a highly politicized and aggressively pro-abortion FDA. To the detriment of women’s health and safety, the FDA has for too long made women’s health a pawn in abortion politics by promoting drug-induced abortions as safe and recklessly ignoring the necessity of proper medical oversight.
Due in large part to the Biden-era FDA’s gutting of the requirements necessary to take mifepristone, women today are denied crucial medical care in life’s most vulnerable moments. In fact, the FDA has recklessly removed its requirements that women meet with a doctor before taking abortion drugs, thereby denying women the chance to be screened for life-threatening conditions like ectopic pregnancy or to confirm how far along she is in her pregnancy. 
My 20 years of caring for women as an OB/GYN have affirmed what the medical literature <a href="https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2017/05/methods-for-estimating-the-due-date">shows</a> — the only way to ensure accurate dating of a pregnancy is to examine a woman in person, ideally with an ultrasound. This is crucial, because an error of just a couple of weeks could mean a significant increase in risk for the woman if she takes these drugs.
To be clear, I would never recommend dangerous drug-induced or surgical abortions to any woman or teen who comes to me for care, especially when so many life-affirming alternatives exist to effectively care for both mother and child. 
The FDA also shamefully fails to require any follow-up visits, even though their own label on mifepristone states roughly one in 25 women who take it will end up in the emergency room. Selling women the lie that these drugs are safe, especially without the benefit of ongoing care with a doctor, is unethical.
With the urging of abortion advocates, and without appropriate evidence to support it, the FDA has also allowed abortion drugs to be shipped to women by mail, delivered straight to their doorsteps. This move not only puts women in danger of taking <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/01/the-web-is-home-to-an-illegal-bazaar-for-abortion-pills-the-fda-is-ill-equipped-to-stop-it-00048802">counterfeit drugs</a> that could cause them harm, but it also makes them <a href="https://lozierinstitute.org/hidden-epidemic-nearly-70-of-abortions-are-coerced-unwanted-or-inconsistent-with-womens-preferences/">vulnerable to coercion and abuse.</a>
The new FDA leadership must prioritize women’s health by implementing key reforms. 
First, they should reinstate the requirement for in-person doctor visits so women can receive individualized counseling and fully informed consent, along with being adequately screened for potentially life-threatening conditions. It&#8217;s a simple but essential principle of medical ethics that patients have a right to informed consent before taking these high-risk drugs — something that can only happen with an in-person visit and individualized counseling. Even the pro-abortion American College of OB/GYNs (ACOG) <a href="https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2021/02/informed-consent-and-shared-decision-making-in-obstetrics-and-gynecology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notes</a> that an adequate informed consent process is one where patients are “free to ask questions” and make a choice about their care, including refusing treatment. It’s impossible to have this tailored conversation when abortion drugs are dispensed online with no in-person interaction with a medical professional.
Next, should a woman choose to pursue a drug-induced abortion, the FDA should restore the seven week gestational age limit (currently 10 weeks) to decrease the risks associated with these drugs, as well as require abortion providers to see a woman for a follow&#8211;up visit to ensure her abortion is complete and to evaluate for and treat any complications she might be experiencing. This would be consistent with what was originally recommended when the drug entered the market and would reduce risks to women. With these protections in place, our federal leaders, regardless of their personal position on induced abortion, can at the very least reduce the risk of women dying from complications of abortion drugs and ensure that all women are receiving fully informed consent before taking them.
Reinstating the FDA’s original safety regulations for mifepristone is an essential first step toward protecting the health and safety of women across the nation. Women and girls seeking an induced abortion are often in a vulnerable and uncertain time of their lives. Rather than ensuring that they receive accurate information and ongoing medical care, the FDA has sold them a lie and denied them appropriate care. We all should work together to bring this negligence to an end.
Women and girls deserve the best medical care possible that is individualized and evidence-based. I&#8217;m hopeful that with Dr. Makary&#8217;s leadership the FDA will restore safety as the priority for American women and girls. Our patients deserve nothing less.

Pro-life diaper company EveryLife is launching a prayer campaign along with prominent Christian leaders for couples hoping to have children.
The campaign, &#8220;Praying for More Babies in 2025,&#8221; is a &#8220;nationwide movement of prayer for couples longing for children.&#8221; It comes in response to &#8220;plummeting global fertility rates,&#8221; EveryLife said.
From March 11 to April 11, EveryLife is inviting married couples &#8220;longing for a child — whether awaiting their first or hoping for more&#8221; to <a href="https://everylife.com/pages/pray" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sign up</a> to be &#8220;covered in prayer&#8221; through the end of the year.
&#8220;The EveryLife team, alongside prominent Christian leaders and members of the faith community, will pray for each couple by name, standing in faith as they seek the blessing of a child,&#8221; EveryLife said. &#8220;Throughout the year, EveryLife will provide monthly updates to participants sharing the names of prayer partners lifting them up, encouraging scriptures, and an opportunity to report answered prayers as couples trust in God’s perfect timing.&#8221;
Some of the prominent Christians supporting the initiative are Lila Rose, Allie Beth Stuckey and her husband, Timothy, and Charlie Kirk and his wife, Erika.
Others voicing their support are surfer and speaker Bethany Hamilton and her husband, Adam Dirks, and several members of the Robertson family, famous for the A&amp;E series &#8220;Duck Dynasty.&#8221;
&#8220;Strong families make a strong nation, and together, we can help foster a future where life and family are valued and celebrated,&#8221; EveryLife said.
EveryLife was launched in 2023 by PublicSq., an online marketplace that works to help “freedom-loving Americans” find businesses that align with their values and <a href="https://www.outkick.com/meet-publicsq-the-conservative-alternative-to-amazon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brands</a> itself as a conservative alternative to Amazon.
The pro-life diaper company is growing quickly and now delivers diapers in all 50 states, the company said. EveryLife also supports pro-life organizations, donating diapers and wipes to crisis pregnancy centers.
When the company launched, EveryLife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-pro-life-diaper-company-releases-powerful-ad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> an ad calling out progressive companies for embracing anti-life values such as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/abortion-companies-travel-expenses.html#:~:text=Intuit%20said%20Friday%20it%20would,live%2C%E2%80%9D%20the%20company%20said." target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> they would cover the travel expenses for their female employees’ abortions.
“While so many companies are promoting what is wrong, we choose to celebrate what is right — life,” the ad&#8217;s narrator said as a pregnant woman was shown gazing at her unborn child on an ultrasound screen.
“Every miracle from God, boy and girl, black, tan, and white, planned and unplanned, gifted and special,” the ad said. “Every one of them is celebrated here.”

The Trump administration will drop a challenge brought by President Joe Biden’s Justice Department against Idaho’s pro-life law making it a crime to end the life of an unborn child in most circumstances.
The Biden administration had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-allows-idaho-abortion-law-to-stay-in-effect-as-biden-admin-sues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a> Idaho over the law claiming that it violated federal emergency medical treatment laws. On Wednesday, the Justice Department moved to dismiss the case on Wednesday, which would allow the law to go back into full effect. 
Idaho’s <a href="https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/title18/t18ch6/sect18-622/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">law</a> prohibits all abortions with exceptions for rape or incest in the first trimester and if a doctor determines that “abortion was necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman.” Those who administered criminal abortions could have been subject to up to two to five years in prison. 
The Biden administration claimed that the law violated the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), alleging that the statute would mandate doctors to perform “emergency” abortions. 
The decision from the Justice Department was praised by pro-life groups and criticized by pro-abortion activists.
“The Trump-Vance administration&#8217;s end to Biden&#8217;s EMTALA case against Idaho&#8217;s pro-life law is a win for the truth,” SBA Pro-Life America <a href="https://x.com/sbaprolife/status/1897369590126047322" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Every state that protects unborn life also protects women who experience miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or any medical emergency.”
Last June, the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leak-confirmed-supreme-court-rules-against-red-state-in-pro-life-case-day-after-decision-inadvertently-posted-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allowed</a> parts of the law to be blocked in a 6-3 decision. The court never ruled on the merits of the law or the challenge when it allowed parts of the law to be blocked, writing that litigation on the law should continue on the lower level while allowing a block on parts of the law to go back into effect.
The decision is in line with other <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-restores-mexico-city-policy-ends-taxpayer-funding-for-abortion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-life actions</a> taken by President Donald Trump in the early months of his administration. He previously issued a memorandum that prevents taxpayer funds from being sent to foreign non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortions. Trump also signed an executive order strengthening the Hyde Amendment, a ban on the use of federal funds for abortion.
He also issued pardons for 23 peaceful pro-life protesters who were targeted by the Biden administration and indicated that he would end aggressive prosecution under the FACE Act.

LENOIR CITY, Tenn.—Nearly a year after a Nashville jury convicted them on federal conspiracy charges over a peaceful pro-life protest, a group of pro-life Christians reunited to celebrate their pardons from President Donald Trump, recount their time in prison, and encourage each other in the fight against abortion. 
In the year since they had last all been together, two had gone to prison, one was slated to go to prison, and the rest were restricted from traveling, owning guns, and voting. But thanks to Trump’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/they-should-not-have-been-prosecuted-trump-pardons-23-pro-lifers-targeted-by-biden-doj">January 23 pardons</a> of the nearly two dozen pro-lifers targeted by the Biden administration, 10 of the pardoned traveled last week for a reunion at the Patriot Church, just outside of Knoxville. 
Those pardoned who made the trek to East Tennessee included Paul Vaughn, Coleman Boyd, Dennis Green, Chet Gallagher, Heather Idoni, and Cal Zastrow, all of whom were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-life-demonstrators-found-guilty-face-up-to-11-years-in-federal-prison">convicted</a> on felony conspiracy charges in January 2024 over a sit-in at a now-closed Mt. Juliet, Tennessee abortion facility. Each of them had faced over a decade in prison, with Zastrow getting six months, Gallagaher 16 months, and Idoni eight months to run concurrently with her two year sentence over a similar protest in Washington, D.C. 
Other pardoned pro-lifers in attendance at the reunion were Paul Place, Eva Edl, and Eva Zastrow, who were convicted on a lesser Freedom of Access To Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act charge in Nashville; and Justin Phillips, who was convicted in August on conspiracy charges over a pro-life protest at a Michigan abortion facility.
Steven Lefemine, who spent 60 days in prison after sitting in front of the door to a South Carolina abortion facility, also was in attendance. He did not apply for a pardon because he wanted to continue to fight the FACE Act, which he says is unconstitutional. 
This reunion featured a potluck dinner, Christian worship songs, and testimonies from the pardoned pro-lifers.  
“I was in prison. I’m out of prison. Just like that. By one man’s signature. By a declaration that way. I was pardoned from prison by the president of the United States,” Zastrow said on Wednesday as he spoke to a cheering crowd at the Patriot Church while holding up a copy of his pardon.
Zastrow, who was imprisoned in Thomson Federal Correctional Institute in Illinois, said that he didn’t expect to be pardoned based on his experience with previous politicians. 
“I’ve helped other guys run for office and I just quit believing that when people promise what they’re going do when they’re elected,” Zastrow said. “So I don’t have real high expectations when somebody says they’re going to do something when they’re running for office.” 
He thanked the crowd for their letters and phone calls to his wife, saying that “God used your lobbying for a pardon.”
He added that he wasn’t afraid of prison because of his faith. 
“It&#8217;s because I just get so close to Jesus, I press in so close to Jesus and I just receive and accept his love for me and I just channel that out to other people,” he said. 
He recounted several stories from prison, including one involving a prison guard whom he said used to swear at the prisoners when they were in line for food. Zastrow said that one day the guard took God’s name in vain, and he responded by saying “praise your name oh Jesus,” after which the prisoners standing around him backed away from him because, he said, no one ever talked while they were in line for food. Everyone stopped for a moment before Zastrow said that the prison guard responded by saying, “Amen.”
“That was the last time he ever swore at us and took the Lord&#8217;s name in vain,” he said. 
Heather Idoni, another one of those who was freed from prison, also spoke about how prison gave her an opportunity to share her faith, joking that she had a “captive audience for the Gospel.” 
“Prison is the best federally-funded mission trip you can go on. Everywhere I went, there were women hungry for the Lord,” she said. “They didn’t, some didn’t know it yet. Do you know what I got to tell them? I got to say, ‘I’ve been praying for you for two years now and I didn’t even know who you were yet.&#8217;”
Idoni, who was convicted on FACE Act and felony conspiracy charges in Nashville, Detroit, and D.C., had been imprisoned since the summer of 2023, before she was freed in January. She previously spoke about how she was shuttled from prison to prison, exacerbating some of her health challenges. 
“God was keeping me every day, his peace, his presence, not one day without it,” she said. 
Both Idoni and Zastrow met new grandchildren for the first time when they were released from prison. 
The final pardoned pro-lifer to speak was 89-year-old Eva Edl, who spoke about her experience surviving a communist prison camp in Yugoslavia as a young girl. Edl said that witnessing Nazis targeting Jews and the communists targeting her people group because of their ethnic heritage motivated her to fight the dehumanization of the unborn.
Both of her parents were taken prisoner during World War II, and she was sent to a prison camp at the age of nine.
“The Nazis had taken my daddy. The Russians had taken my mother and my grandfather to dig trenches on the Russian side,” she said. 
She was shipped in a cattle car to the camp and nearly died of starvation while she was mistreated horrifically by the prison guards, saying that “people were eating rats and rats were eating people.”
During her time in prison, she said that she got her hands on a Christian prayer book, which was “more important to me than the food itself that I was craving.”  
“When you have that closeness and that peace, you lose the fear of anything else,” she said. 
Edl, her mother, brother, and sister eventually escaped to Austria before immigrating to America in the 1950s. Witnessing the horrific way that people were demonized motivated Edl to become outspokenly pro-life, and she began engaging in sit-ins at abortion facilities around the country. 
When pardoned, she was facing sentencing for a felony conspiracy charge after she sat outside an abortion facility in Sterling Heights, Michigan in 2020. She could have been sentenced to over a decade in federal prison before receiving a pardon from Trump.
Edl closed her testimony by urging churches to encourage adoption and support women in crisis pregnancies. She said she always wished that someone had stood up for her back when she was thrown into the prison camp, and that people should stand up for the unborn today. 
She turns 90 in May and is determined as ever to fight for the unborn. 
While they’ve been pardoned, the shakeout of the Biden pro-life prosecutions are still being played out in court, as lawyers for the defendants are attempting to present arguments that the FACE Act should be ruled unconstitutional and voided.
