175 Members of Congress
Tell FDA to End Biden’s Mail-Order Abortion Drug Policy
Anna Callahan | Nov. 21, 2025 |Washington, DC
​
Following last month’s letter from 51 U.S. senators to the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services calling to reinstate commonsense safeguards on abortion drugs, 175 U.S. representatives led by Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) and pharmacist Rep. Diana Harshbarger (TN-01) sent a letter demanding answers from Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and Commissioner Marty Makary.
​
The FDA’s recent approval of a new generic version of the drug comes even as Joe Biden’s COVID-era mail-order abortion policy remains inexplicably in effect, putting women and unborn children at risk and undermining state pro-life laws.
​
As the letter states:
These drugs are sent across state lines with no physician oversight, and without appropriate screening to ensure that bad actors are not secretly poisoning women without their knowledge or forcing women to take abortion drugs against their will – a clear indication that radical pro-abortion activists care more about protecting abortion access than about upholding women’s health and safety.

There’s No Mass Exodus of OBGYNs
From Pro-Life States
LifeNews.com | Monica Snyder | Nov, 5, 2025 | Washington, DC
​
Article published in The Hill: “No, OBGYNs are not systematically fleeing states that banned abortion.” There’s been a lot of media coverage claiming that they are, but researchers in public health, medicine, and economics from Stanford, Berkeley, and elsewhere tried to look at this more analytically and found “no evidence of such an exodus.”
​
They found no evidence that OBGYNs were leaving states with abortion bans and no evidence that fewer OBGYNS were moving to states with abortion bans.
​
They took a closer look at the media coverage claiming otherwise and they found that basically a bunch of different reporters were interviewing the same 15 doctors.
​
Keep in mind there are tens of thousands of OBGYNs in the United States.
​
They also emphasized that broader doctor shortage issues predate Dobbs and closure of L&D departments have been inappropriately attributed to Dobbs when there’s other problems.
Specifically, they conclude:
Focusing on a physician exodus that is not actually happening distracts us from addressing the real, plentiful problems with the delivery of medical care.
​
This is so well said. There are many complex problems with American reproductive healthcare. Abortion advocates continually reduce these issues to a question of abortion access.

RAPED AND TOLD
TO HAVE AN ABORTION,
SHE REFUSED AND CHOSE LIFE
Jerry Newcom | Nov 6., 2025 | Washington, DC
​​
I heard a very moving talk from a rape victim this past weekend, which I’ll share in a moment. And what she said reminds me of the reason why abortion has gained such a stranglehold in America.
​
Rape is a horrible and violent crime. Interestingly, the allegation of rape is part of the reason America has embraced abortion so strongly in the last half-century.
​
Our founding documents embrace a culture of life, but abortion is at war with the right to life.
​
In months, we’ll be celebrating the life-affirming birthday of America. July 4, 2026, will be the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which famously says, “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life.”
​
Eleven years later, in 1787, the Constitution, predicated on the Declaration, opens this way: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice … and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
​
But in 1973, in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court famously voted in favor of abortion rights as they set out “to resolve the issue by constitutional measurement.”
​
Dissenter Byron Johnson called Roe (and its companion decision of the same day, Doe v. Bolton) an act of “raw judicial power.”
​
To gain sympathy for her quest to get an abortion, the plaintiff Jane Roe (who we now know was the late Norma McCorvey) claimed she was raped – gang-raped no less.
​
But years later, Norma McCorvey revealed that she had lied. She said, “Initially, I had told [attorney] Sarah Weddington that I had been raped – and I was not raped.”

We’re Heading Into the
Organ-Harvesting Stage
of Assisted Suicide
The Daily Signal - Jarrett Stepman | October 13, 2025
The assisted suicide policy has always rested on a slippery slope. Western societies are now fully in the organ harvesting stage on the road to the bottom of this hill.
​
In September, the National Post reported that a 59-year-old Pittsburgh man with congestive heart failure received a working heart from a 38-year-old who had Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The young donor didn’t die of natural causes. He was killed through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying, or MAID, program.

COMMENTS ON THE CURRENT CULTURE IN THE UNITED STATES
When They Applaud Killing Babies in Abortions, It’s No Surprise They Applauded Killing Charlie Kirk
by Bobby Schindler | Oct 8, 2025 | Washington, DC
​
It is becoming more difficult than ever to deny that we have become a nation gripped with death. When a culture openly celebrates killing, when murderers are excused and violence is cheered, and when polls reveal that more than a third of Americans believe that killing the President of the United States can be justified, then everyone is at risk. No one is safe.
We see the signs almost daily. After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, social media was filled with posts mocking or even applauding his death. When UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down late last year, a vocal fringe celebrated the killing and even praised the accused.
This did not happen overnight. From mothers lauding their abortions to my sister Terri Schiavo’s needless, inhumane, court-ordered dehydration death, the devaluing of human life has taught our culture to excuse – and even cheer – the destruction of the innocent.
