The U.S. Supreme Court might be fine with Chemical Abortion Pills being mailed to every home like Amazon packages, but America’s physicians aren’t. 

In Louisiana’s case against the government allowing the mass-mailing of Chemical Abortion Pills, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) had filed an amicus brief expressing concern about the abortion industry’s death-by-mail practices. 

“As a group of physicians, AAPS has a strong interest in defending and restoring informed consent by patients, which is allowed and facilitated by requiring an in-person visit with a physician before taking a life-changing medication such as mifepristone,” states the amicus brief. 

AAPS is not happy about the irresponsible Biden-era rule that allows deadly pills to be shipped without so much as a single in-person visit. They raise concerns about how these pills are being smuggled to minors. 

“Due to the removal of the in-person requirements, more abortions are performed today without informed consent,” writes AAPS in the brief. “Abortion pills are obtained and distributed to teenagers who consume them without even a prescription.” 

The physicians noted that telehealth prescription and mailing of Chemical Abortion Pills denies women a proper understanding of what happens after taking the pill, including the reversibility of the decision to abort. 

They also addressed the concerning rise in Chemical Abortions occurring in America: by 2023, Chemical Abortions made up 65% of all abortions, meaning this problem of a lack of informed consent is affecting nearly two-thirds of all women being affected by abortion. 

“[T]his reported increase does not even include the chemical abortions from ‘community networks’ as facilitated by the FDA’s policy,” states the brief. 

Students for Life of America (SFLA) previously filed an amicus brief in this case expressing these concerns. 

Beyond the medical concerns, AAPS echoed SFLA’s concerns about the wider effect death-by-mail has on American democracy and federalism. 

“Federalism is undermined, even imperiled, by allowing a few unelected federal subagency employees to transform American culture in defiance of state laws,” wrote AAPS.  

AAPS also pointed to the massive elephant in the room: the Abortion Lobby’s constant dismissal and suppression of those who express concern about the safety of the Chemical Abortion Pill mifepristone and the countless women who regret their abortions.  

“State legislative hearings should be held, and those who advocate that mifepristone is safe should answer questions by elected officials and respond to many women who regret taking the drug,” they wrote.  

Not only this, but AAPS acknowledges how studies often remove or hide data that points to the dangers of taking mifepristone. AAPS calls out Danco, the maker of mifepristone who challenged the pause on mailing the deadly pills, for ignoring this problem. 

“Redacted data concerning the harm caused by the drug [mifepristone] must be publicly disclosed and analyzed,” they wrote. “The emotional and psychological harm caused by the visual impact on a mother of having to see her own deceased unborn child should be addressed, which Danco fails to do in its application here.” 

The science — and the scientists — are clear: Chemical Abortion Pills pose widely unknown dangers to the women who take them. Telehealth prescription and mailing of these pills puts countless lives at risk, and it is time for the government to take action to end not only the mailing of these pills, but their existence in our country at all. 

SFLA has called for the enforcement of the Comstock Act, an active law that prohibits the mailing of Chemical Abortion Pills. While the Supreme Court tragically allowed the mailing of these pills to continue, the fight is not over. 

With physicians setting the record straight, the Trump administration must heed their call and protect unborn babies and women from the fatal consequences of abortion.
