Dear (reader), You and I know it's a standard tactic for abortionists to shop for activist judges who'll override any law or regulation that hampers their business of killing babies. At the same time, you and I both know it's a bad idea to allow the abortion industry free-reign on abortion issues. That's why we elect representatives -- to make laws that stand for our values. Now infuriated pro-lifers in both Oklahoma and Iowa are seeing scenario play out again. Recently, in response to intense lobbying efforts by NPLA members and other pro-lifers, lawmakers in Oklahoma and Iowa passed laws to limit prescription abortions. Immediately the abortion lobby went crying to unelected pro-abortion, activist judges to override the people's will. When Oklahoma legislators overwhelmingly passed HB1970 they didn't expect to have to take their fight to limit access to the deadly drug RU486 all the way to the Supreme Court. But pro-abortion forces immediately challenged the law, claiming it made "it impossible for women to exercise the full range of their constitutionally protected rights." Meaning abortion-on-demand -- Anytime, Anyway, Anywhere. And once again, the courts have stepped in and sided with the powerful abortion lobby. You see, the moment the abortion pill was rammed through by the Clinton Administration in 1999, abortionists tossed aside the FDA rules. Abortionists across the board vary the dosage and, of their own volition, add a second pill to be taken two days later at home. This drug, misoprostol, is not approved for use with the first pill, mifepristone (RU486). That's because mifepristone and misoprostol are a deadly combination. Taken together these meds have killed more than 2 million babies and been the catalyst for over 1,100 women to be rushed to emergency rooms with deadly complications from at-home abortions. Meanwhile, in Iowa NPLA members and other pro-lifers are again waging battle against the RU486 abortion mongers. In August the Iowa Medical Board voted to halt what is known as "telemed abortions." Once again, Planned Parenthood jumped in and filed a lawsuit. And again, an activist pro-abortion judge stepped in and suspended the Iowa state board's ban on telemed abortions. A telemed abortion is a video meeting between the abortionist and an expectant mother. Without ever examining the woman, the abortionist prescribes RU486 to terminate her child. The pregnant mother is sent home to finish taking the meds at home, alone. So the abortionist has no idea of the age of the baby; if the expectant mother has any complications, like an ectopic pregnancy; or even what the outcome of the prescription abortion is. Unfortunately, pro-abortion lobbyists will do whatever it takes to avoid any regulations and continue their killing spree. Planned Parenthood's President Cecile Richards has already made it clear that Planned Parenthood wants to expand the dangerous practice of online abortions to all 50 states. And at nearly $500.00 per prescription, RU486 is definitely a money maker for them. But no matter the money, the real tragedy is the babies' lives that are snuffed out The good news is I'm convinced we will ultimately win these two lawsuits. For the innocent we must fight on.
