Democrats view abortion as a politically winning issue for them, but that requires concealing its harmful consequences. Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk did a tremendous public service by explaining the adverse effects that Biden and the Democrats conceal in his Good Friday ruling against the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. That good ruling was unfortunately overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Some of the harm of these drugs is emotional, as the abortion pill typically causes the mother to see the living being she just aborted. Such video images have been posted on TikTok, to the dismay of censorship-prone liberals. Judge Kacsmaryk wrote, “Eighty-three percent of women report that chemical abortion ‘changed’ them – and seventy-seven percent of those women reported a negative change.” Continuing to cite the scientific research, the judge continued, “Thirty-eight percent of women reported issues with anxiety, depression, drug abuse, and suicidal thoughts because of the chemical abortion.”
Judge Kacsmaryk may have laid out the truth, but the Biden Administration is not transparent about this harm, and instead pushes a destructive drug on red states that do not want it. Corporate executives whose companies have benefited from other Biden mandates, such as the CEO of Pfizer, jumped in as though on cue to insist on what Democrats demand.
Under our Constitution, legalizing and promoting chemical abortions is something that would require extensive public hearings and a vote in Congress. It should not be enacted in secret by unelected FDA bureaucrats who are lobbied or captured by the pharmaceutical industry they are supposed to regulate. Federal law “indicates a national policy of discountenancing abortion as inimical to the national life,” held Judge Kacsmaryk while quoting a legal precedent. Indeed, a specific federal statute prohibits use of the U.S. Mail or commercial services from delivering abortion drugs across state lines.
The legality of the FDA’s process for imposing an abortion drug nationwide is for the courts and Congress to properly decide in our Republic. Some complain that this decision undermines the FDA’s authority, but that is just what a good doctor would order. Let’s put an end to deadly abortion by mail.
