Despite the fact that abortion clinics are closing, abortion numbers are rising. Much of this is due to the abortion pill, Mifepristone, which has become the most common method of abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood’s research arm), Mifepristone accounts for about 63% of all abortions. Not only does this method take the life of the baby in the womb, women increasingly are becoming injured from it.
Late last Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice moved to dismiss the case of Missouri v. FDA, doubling down on its claim that pro-life states and women harmed by abortion drugs lack standing and are not suffering ongoing harm from the FDA’s policy of allowing deadly abortion drugs to be sent through the mail.
Numerous other aspects related to the topic of abortion were covered including:
- New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently named a Planned Parenthood lawyer in order to protect abortion.
- Senator Josh Hawley’s Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act.
- The University of Oregon will offer chemical abortion pills to students beginning this fall.
- March 10th was Abortion Provider Appreciation Day.
- What major challenges are facing the pro-life movement today?
- Are there individuals trying to co-opt Christianity for their pro-abortion causes?
Reverend Harden had much more to say and you can hear it all on this edition of Crosstalk.
