Life Issues

An Ohio doctor has been suspended after he allegedly used his estranged wife’s personal information to purchase chemical abortion drugs. 

 He is accused of forcing the drugs upon a different woman who he was having a romantic relationship with.  She reports that she did not want to have an abortion, so he bought the pills and held her down forcing her to consume the dangerous drugs.  

The Ohio state medical board found that the doctor’s actions presented an immediate danger to the community in light of the clear and convincing evidence of his actions. As of now, no criminal charges have been reported.  

Tragically we know that there are many instances of abusers using the lax distribution laws to obtain chemical abortion pills which they force upon women.  

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit against the abortion giant Planned Parenthood alleging that they have lied to women about the safety of the chemical abortion pill.  

The lawsuit reads, “Planned Parenthood and its Florida operations mislead women about the critical and undeniable risks of a chemical abortion by deceptively claiming these powerful drugs are less risky than everyday pain medication.”  

The lawsuit seeks $350 million in damages as well as sanctions against Planned Parenthood. Recent insurance data shows that the chemical abortion drug is 22 times more dangerous than FDA claims and sends around 1 in 10 women to the emergency room with serious medical complications.  

Planned Parenthood has built a reputation for killing millions of innocent unborn babies, and also significantly injuring mothers. The abortion industry is not interested in providing healthcare, they are interested in profiting off the death of children. It should be no surprise that the health of the mother is an afterthought. Sadly, two medical emergencies happened in the same day at Providence Planned Parenthood in Rhode Island. The emergencies happened within roughly ninety minutes of each other. Pro-life sidewalk counselors say EMS personal arrive and take an injured woman from the facility for medical attention. Soon after they saw a second emergency as an ambulance arrived to attend to a woman who was hemorrhaging after the procedure.  

Assisted suicide and euthanasia have been dishonestly presented to the public as a loving solution for people in need. In reality, these practices are a slippery slope that violates the sanctity of life as those with mental health struggles or chronic pain are ushered to their death rather than treated. Quebec Canada proves this to be true. Canada has taken the lives of thousands of patience through their euthanasia program, but in Quebec euthanasia accounted for for 7.9% of all deaths between 2024 and 2025. This represents a 9% increase! As we have documented on our website at life issues dot org, where euthanasia and assisted suicide are legalized, things quickly escalate. Every country where it is legal has faced significant pressure to expand eligibility. 

JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, made headlines the other day as he compared abortion to child sacrifice. His bold stance for life came during a campus tour event with Turning Point USA in honor of his friend Charlie Kirk. A young woman asked the VP about what she views as the administrations wavering stance on life. He responded respectfully saying, “Now, I’m going to take issue with something you said—just the premise of the question, which is that I have wavered on the pro-life issue.  After restating his commitment to life, He then made mention of other examples of child sacrifice throughout history and how important it was to stop them, touting it as one of the West’s greatest accomplishments and clearly comparing child sacrifice to abortion. 

As the battle for life continues in all fifty states, it is important that we celebrate each win for life. Recently, a three-judge panel for the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of the Oregon Right to Life after their lawsuit had been wrongfully dismissed. The pro-lifers had asked the court to prohibit Oregon from enforcing a mandate which would require pro-lifers to provide abortion coverage in healthcare plans for employees despite their religious objections. While the court had initially dismissed the case, this decision has given it new life and we pray that the deeply held religious objections of the pro-lifers will prevail. No employer should be forced to provide abortions.

Recently the LA Dodgers once again won the World Series. While thousands of fans gathered in attendance, there were dedicated pro-lifers among them taking a public stand for life. Around thirty-five pro-lifers, mostly young adults, stood outside of the stadium for game 1 in Toronto. The group held signs that showed the truth of what abortion is and shed light on the tiny victims. They stated, “In just a few hours, so many eyes were opened and hearts were changed.” These young people thought outside of the box and took a bold public stance to defend the unborn. As innocent lives continue to be taken, it is essential that we take every opportunity we get to defend life.

The Trump administration committed to protecting unborn life at the fifth anniversary of the Geneva Consensus which declared that there is no international right to abortion President Trump’s letter, which was read at the event, stated, “My administration is steadfastly devoted to restoring a culture that values the inherent dignity of every child and to upholding the eternal truth that every person is created in the holy image and likeness of God, with infinite worth and boundless potential.” The Biden administration had left the Geneva Consensus Declaration, so we are proud to see the United States rejoin the coalition of countries standing for life. Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill promised that the administration will continue to advance the cause of life globally. 

A new poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates shows voters want stronger safeguards around abortion drugs. Seven in ten say doctors should screen for coercion and abuse before prescribing them, and two-thirds believe abusers use these drugs to hide rape and trafficking. A majority oppose “shield laws” and mail-order pills without in-person care. Eight in ten say no one should be able to secretly give abortion drugs to women. Nine in ten want FDA labels to show real-world risks like bleeding and infection. And more than seven in ten believe drug companies have pressured the FDA to lower safety standards. Support is growing to end the dangerous distribution of chemical abortion. 

Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton has won a major appellate court victory for life—and for truth. Paxton sued Yelp, alleging the online review giant had violated Texas’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act by placing misleading warnings and disclaimers to pro-life resource centers on its website and app. One disclaimer alleged that PRCs “may not have licensed medical professionals onsite” a claim which is often untrue. These centers offer free, compassionate help to women in crisis, yet they’ve been under relentless attack from the abortion industry and its supporters. If women in crisis are steered away from the help and love offered at pregnancy resource centers, they will be ushered through the doors of a Planned Parenthood to kill their unborn child.
