John,

This week marks 53 years since Roe v. Wade was decided. It’s been 3 ½ years since it was overturned, but that pro-life victory has only made the abortion industry more aggressive.

The abortion pill specifically is now the most prevalent form of abortion, taking the lives of over 600,000 children in the last reported year, and it’s arguably the most dangerous to women.

That’s why Live Action continues to perform undercover investigations. We MUST expose the criminal behavior and uncover the truth.

To that end, we just released a new undercover video showing how chemical abortion is actually carried out by Planned Parenthood: liveaction.org/videos/planned-parenthood-exposed-for-dangerous-abortion-pill-distribution

As you can see in the video, Planned Parenthood staff all over the country are engaging in egregious behavior, such as:

• Discussing the dispensing of abortion pills without confirming the gestational age of the child, increasing the risk of undetected ectopic pregnancy and severe hemorrhage.
   
• Neglecting to check Rh status, putting women at risk of permanent Rh sensitization that can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or serious complications in future pregnancies.
  
  
• Skipping basic medical history, which misses conditions and medications that raise the risk of dangerous drug interactions and uncontrolled bleeding.
  
  
• Providing no real follow-up care, leaving infections, retained baby tissue, and internal bleeding untreated until women end up in emergency rooms.
  
  
• Offering to ship pills to a friend’s address, exposing their patients to potential abuse.
  
  
• Telling women to expect labor-level pain without being warned about the signs of hemorrhage or sepsis.
  
  
• Consistently minimizing serious risks.
  
  
• Falsely claiming that carrying a baby to term is more dangerous than abortion.

You’d think a corporation that participates in this kind of barbaric behavior would be shut down, but this continues to be standard practice at the nation’s largest abortion business.

John, the reality of this deadly pill is truly horrific, and we must sound the alarm.

According to Guttmacher estimates released in early 2025, more than 648,000 abortion pills were sold in just one year.

Let that sink in.

This means abortion pills — meant solely to kill innocent human life — are sold over 54,000 times every month, nearly 1,800 every single day, and one every 49 seconds.

But even those numbers don’t tell the full story. Guttmacher acknowledges that its estimates leave out abortion pills sent under “shield laws” into states where abortion is fully banned. In other words, the real number is almost certainly much higher.

This is why we still gather in Washington, D.C., for the March for Life. This is why we must continue standing together to march, speak, and act for those who cannot do so for themselves.

And this is why I met with Secretary Kennedy just yesterday. We discussed the dangers of the abortion pill.

There is also good news.

The Trump administration announced the halt of all federal funding for research using aborted baby tissue. Additionally, the administration announced plans to end all taxpayer funding for abortion overseas, expanding the Mexico City Policy, which will cut off groups that promote abortion, effectively closing loopholes in federal funding.

These are encouraging steps forward, but we must keep up the pressure to completely ban the abortion pill.

Live Action’s memo to the administration and our new white paper explain how federal regulators allowed this system to grow through years of weakened rules and incomplete reporting. The agencies charged with protecting public health now have the evidence in front of them.

The FDA should revoke the approval of mifepristone as an abortifacient. Until that happens, it must at least immediately restore in-person exams, full medical screening, and comprehensive adverse effect reporting. Every day of delay means more women harmed and more children killed.

Make your voice heard by urging the FDA to completely remove this deadly pill from the market: liveaction.org/petitions/urge-the-fda-to-pull-the-abortion-pill-from-the-market

Thank you for joining us in this urgent mission. Your perseverance in defending the most vulnerable among us has the power to save future generations.

For Life,
