SBA Pro-Life America and Charlotte Lozier Institute were on site Tuesday as the Supreme Court heard the case against mail-order abortion drugs. You can read our analysis of oral arguments here â but now, come on a visual journey with us to the steps of the highest court in the land on this historic day, where the stakes of the battle for life couldnât have been clearer.
While CLIâs Dr. Ingrid Skop sat inside the courtroom for arguments, SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser spoke at the #WomensHealthMatters rally organized by Alliance Defending Freedom:
Our team caught up with Elizabeth Gillette, whose story we shared back in January and who had a message for all listeners about her traumatic abortion drug experience:
Melissa Ohden of the Abortion Survivors Network spoke with our Vice President of Communications Emily Erin Davis:
From Dobbs (right) to FDA v. AHM (left), a distinct contrast between opposing sides is evident:
Pro-life women and their unborn babies photobombed the abortion supporters (pictured at right: Melanie Salazar, executive director of Pro-Life San Francisco, representing Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising â the group that discovered a box full of baby bodies headed for medical waste outside a notorious D.C. late-term abortion facility):
On the pro-abortion side, rhetoric included violent-sounding threats and profanity-laced vows of defiance (pardon the language):
Our team encountered a robot wheeling around, promoting abortion drugs:
The Daily Signalâs Mary Margaret Olohan asked questions of the pro-abortion group behind the robot. They claimed members of their group who werenât pregnant had participated in a demonstration that morning in which they took the abortion drug, mifepristone, ostensibly to prove it is âsafe.â However, one added, âYou shouldnât just, like, take it every day for no reason.â
Olohan shared with Newsmax: âI would ask these activists, do you support any kind of safeguards on these abortion drugs? And they said no, they should be available, easy access for everyone.â
We often hear the claim that âno one is pro-abortionâ (a pretense even Planned Parenthood has abandoned), but some protesters declared their love:
This dancing man wielding a donut-like sign was enthusiastic about âliberatingâ abortionâŠ
Weâre not sure why there was dancing for abortion, but we do know that none of the women who spoke about their abortion drug experiences at the rally described them as liberating in any way.
Nor is it liberating for shady websites to sell cheap, unregulated foreign drugs with no age verification, and to tell women and girls they should just lie about what happened in the event the drugs send them to the hospital, as a new Daily Wire investigation has found.
For final thoughts on the day, we think it is fitting to close with a few words from Marjorie:
Today I was proud to stand with women harmed by abortion drugs courageously sharing their stories, and with the doctors caring for them, in contrast to the abortion industry that leaves women to suffer alone. They all know the true cost of the FDAâs recklessness first-hand. Together we are standing up to say #WomensHealthMatters and the FDA must do its job. We urge the Supreme Court to uphold safeguards for women and girls.
Roe v. Wade is gone. But Big Abortion has struck back with an epidemic of abortion drug use âsilent, seductive, and more dangerous than any other form of abortion.
As a pro-life American, you need to learn the surprising facts that will save lives and defeat this chemical devastation.
