March 1, 2024, DALLAS, Texas — Human Coalition on Friday responded to news that the nation’s two largest pharmacy chains, CVS and Walgreens, will be dispensing the abortion drug mifepristone in states where it is legal to do so.“This is a massive scheme of abortion-on-demand where our neighborhood pharmacies have been turned into merchants of death. The FDA has lost all credibility in abandoning its responsibility to protect life, and women and children are paying the cost with their lives,” said Chelsey Youman, National Director of Public Policy at Human Coalition.“Over the years, the FDA has recklessly tossed aside common sense safety regulations to the point where women can now get abortion pills at their neighborhood pharmacy – or through the mail – having not ever seen a doctor throughout the process. They may not have received critical screenings for complications that could save their lives.“We are imploring the Supreme Court to intervene to stop the madness and at the very least require the FDA to reinstate basic safety protections of abortion pills. Our new amicus brief makes clear that women are uninformed about the side effects and trauma they might experience from at-home chemical abortions. They are at serious risk of covert forced abortions from traffickers or abusers who use abortion pills. If the FDA will not do its job to protect women and children, we ask the courts to force the agency to do its job.”About Human CoalitionHuman Coalition is one of the largest pro-life, pro-woman, and pro-family organizations in the country, committed to making abortion unthinkable and unnecessary.
