Trump's statement on abortion pills sparks concern among pro-life groups: 'Growing threat'

Chemical abortion pills are facing opposition from pro-life leaders after President-elect Trump stated that he would not limit access to them.

Over 60% of U.S. abortions are now performed using abortion pills, which are also known as chemical abortion.

In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" this weekend, Trump was questioned about restricting access to abortion pills through executive action.

Trump responded definitively that "the answer is no."

He stated that he would likely continue to maintain his stance that abortion is a state, not a federal matter.

The president-elect stated that he would not commit to not restricting abortion pills, but noted that circumstances may change.

"Do things change? I believe they do," he stated, citing President Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden despite his repeated categorical violations.

"I don't like being in that position," he said. "Although things may change, I believe it won't change at all."

The Biden administration expanded chemical abortion access by removing the in-person appointment requirement and allowing the pills to be delivered via mail or obtained at retail pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens.

Mail-order abortion drugs pose a serious threat to women's health and safety, as well as the lives of unborn children, according to Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

Dannenfelser argued that the Biden-Harris administration's "reckless actions" to expand abortion pill access were harmful to women's health and well-being, and that no one who truly cares about these issues could ignore it.

Dannenfelser stated that even pro-abortion media cannot conceal the fact that these drugs are causing fatalities among women and contributing to new forms of domestic violence, as seen in the recent deaths of Catherine Herring, Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, and Alyona Dixon due to abortion pill complications.

According to Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life Action, Trump may recognize the risks of unrestricted chemical abortion access after learning about the negative effects on women and the environment, as she stated on Planet Chronicle Digital.

"The Trump-Vance administration has a lot to discuss with Hawkins," he stated, emphasizing, "President Trump is a reasonable leader who makes informed decisions."

"We aim to be catalysts for change, sharing new insights on how the Biden-Harris administration's changes to chemical abortion pill policy endanger women, harm their fertility, and cause death, empower abusers, and contribute to water pollution through the disposal of medical waste," she stated. "Thus, we eagerly anticipate a candid conversation about the actions of three Democratic Party presidents who have supported Big Abortion Pharma and their friends. We are excited to provide President Trump with the necessary information to take action."

Brian Burch, president of the conservative activism group "CatholicVote," stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that Trump's admission that "things do change" implies that he may be open to considering the substantial evidence demonstrating the detrimental effects of these drugs on women.

"The pharmaceutical industry has taken advantage of women for too long, and the abortion industry should not be exempt from evidence-based regulations and drug protocols."
