Soon the Supreme Court will examine whether the FDA has failed to do the very job it was created for: protect the public’s health by ensuring the safety and efficacy of drugs.
I’ll never forget the day that I spoke to Monty, the father of a young woman, Holly, who had died as the result of chemical abortion at the age of 18. She had graduated from high school a few months earlier and went to a local Planned Parenthood for the abortion drugs. She died of septic shock a few weeks later. Monty, a man who identified as being 'pro-choice,' told me that he wanted to do everything possible to teach people about the dangers of chemical abortion.
Soon oral arguments will happen at the Supreme Court in the case FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, in which the court will examine whether the Food and Drug Administration has failed to do the very job it was created for, to protect the public’s health by ensuring the safety and efficacy of drugs. I would argue that the FDA is doing a profound disservice to women and girls everywhere in the name of abortion.
Abortion drugs also often carry a heartbreakingly heftier emotional toll, as the woman becomes the abortionist, ingesting the pills, and often tragically sees her baby pass. The sad reality is that many women face mental health repercussions in the months and years after an abortion. Numerous studies have shown that women who have abortions show higher rates of depression, anxiety, PTSD and substance abuse. My heart breaks for any woman who goes through this scenario.
My hope is that the court will hold the FDA accountable for placing abortion advocacy above women’s health and reinstate commonsense standards and protections surrounding the distribution of abortion drugs. For women like Holly or Alyona, such standards in place could have meant the difference between life or death.
