Four years have passed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, but rather than seeing a decline in abortions, the numbers are heading in the opposite direction — and abortion pills are at the center of it all.
The driving force behind the increase appears to be President Biden’s move to make abortion medications readily available through mail delivery. That decision is now being tied to an increase of approximately 100,000 abortions since the high court’s landmark ruling.
Pro-life activists argue that organizations like Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocacy groups are using the widespread availability of these pills to effectively sidestep abortion restrictions that are on the books in roughly half of U.S. states.
In response, some of those states have taken legal action, filing lawsuits in an effort to block the drugs from being distributed within their borders.
