Forty Baptist leaders from 22 states just delivered a bold message to President Trump: end the mailing of dangerous abortion pills immediately. These faith leaders say the Biden administration’s policy letting women get abortion drugs by mail without a doctor’s visit puts lives at risk. They argue this federal rule tramples states’ rights, especially after Dobbs allowed communities to set their own abortion laws.
The letter clarifies that over 60% of U.S. abortions now happen via mifepristone, the abortion pill. Pastors warn this chemical cocktail – sent through mail without medical oversight – threatens women’s health. They cite state laws protecting life since Dobbs as proof the federal government must stop undermining these protections.
Anti-abortion champions say the Comstock Act – a 150-year-old law – gives Trump the tools to fight this crisis. Recent court opinions, like in the Fifth Circuit, suggest mailing abortion pills breaks U.S. law. Yet the Biden DOJ wrongly claims the statute no longer applies to such shipments, ignoring moral and legal reality.
State leaders across America are begging for help as abortion pills flood pro-life states through the mail. Over 20 states have banned abortion, but federal mail policies let activists circumvent these laws. Without action, Joe Biden’s legacy will leave states powerless against this moral invasion.
Faith leaders demand Trump all-out these pills. They say current rules treat life-saving drugs as regular mail-order products, ignoring the grave risks women face without in-person medical care. Every delayed abortion pill shipment means another child saved and another mother protected.
Conservatives call this a battle for states’ rights and human dignity. Allowing Washington to force abortion drugs into pro-life states is unconstitutional overreach. As the courts stay divided on Comstock’s application, Trump must act decisively to safeguard life and federalism.
The pulpits are speaking – with urgency and moral clarity. These pastors represent 22 states where voters chose to protect unborn children. Their letter to Trump paints a stark choice: stand for life or stand with radical abortion extremists.
Right now, every American president hasn’t just a duty but a divine calling to defend innocent life. Let’s pray Trump answers. The time to stop the abortion pill mail-order business is now – before more women and babies suffer.
