HALT PHARMACY ABORTIONS: SFLA sends Letters to the CEOs of Costco, Walmart, Rite Aid, Publix, Albertsons, & Kroger asking they refrain from distributing deadly Chemical Abortion Pills

MEDIA ADVISORY/SCOTUS EVENTS: Students for Life of America’s SCOTUS Squad to Rally in opposition to deadly Chemical Abortion Pills at U.S. Supreme Court and Walgreens HQ 

WASHINGTON D.C. (03-25-2024) – Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins sent letters to the CEOs of some of the leading retail pharmacy locations in the country today, on the eve of the Supreme Court Case U.S. Food & Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, in which approval of deadly Chemical Abortion Pills faces challenge over the FDA’s failures in adequately taking steps to ensure that women and young girls are not harmed even as young lives in the womb are ended. “However this case turns out, the Pro-Life Generation is looking for pharmacies offering life-affirming care,” noted Hawkins. “Chemical abortion pills expose women to risks of injury, infertility, and even death. And stories nationwide illustrate how abusers use the pills against women and that mistakes can be made. The business of death by abortion pills is one to avoid. It’s bad for women; bad for babies; and bad for pharmacies.”

In the Letter, Hawkins writes:

“The reckless effort to coerce medical professionals into the business of abortion, especially regarding the sale and distribution of Chemical Abortion Pills, is headed to neighborhood pharmacies like yours. Big Abortion Pharma and their political allies have used the FDA to reduce health and safety standards (REMS – Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) for the distribution of the two-pill combination that in the United States is used to end preborn life in the womb. But the risks they are willing to accept to further their business interests could result in injuries to patients that pharmacist could be held accountable for, with business ending, license-revoking results, abortion pollution and even felony prosecutions …”

SFLA also filed an amicus (friend of the court) brief in the Supreme Court case, noting that the harms from the chemically-tainted blood, placenta tissue, and human remains flushed into America’s waterways is a potential environmental hazard to endangered species that has not been addressed – one more reason to pull the deadly concoction from the market. This is an extension of our work at the FDA, in which four precursors to legal action – Citizen Petitions – have been filed about the health risks and environmental harms of Chemical Abortion.
