Am I Taking Crazy Pills?

So let's, I want to dig into this.

We've got kind of two stories that go a little bit hand in hand.

One is a new study that was put out by researchers from the Charlotte Lozier Institute talking about the inadequacies of the original safety reviews that were done for the, excuse me, not the original safety reviews, the inadequacy of the safety review that was done to drop the in-person abortion drug requirements.

So for those who don't know this, all right, In 2020, the 2020 election, the big issue that nobody talked about was what is a new president going to do with the abortion pill Mifepristone? Mifepristone was growing in popularity.

It was basically, this is a method of performing abortion where through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, a doctor prescribes a woman the first drug, Mifepristone.

Mifepristone cuts off the hormone progesterone.

It causes the baby to detach from the uterine wall and die.

The woman then takes a second drug called misoprostol.

In 2020, In order to get the abortion drug, you had to go in person to get it, to a clinic, to a hospital, whatever.

Everyone knew, everyone in the pro-life world knew in 2020 that if Biden was elected, his FDA was going to get rid of that in-person dispensing requirement.

All of the legwork was happening already in the academic, public policy, ACOG, pro-abortion world to try to establish that getting rid of the in-person dispensing requirement was safe.

They were trying to show that.

They were doing all the surveys they needed to try to demonstrate that.

And everyone knew that was going to happen.

And I was saying, you, Jonathan, you and I were doing this radio show, and we were saying that we were beating the drum, that basically what that would mean, what does it mean to get rid of the in-person dispensing requirement? I ask you, dear listener, unless you're driving in your car, look at your smartphone.

The smartphone is now the number one abortion clinic in the country.

By changing the rules, by the Biden administration in 2021, changing the rules about how the abortion drug is dispensed, It allows women to get a prescription for the abortion drug with just a telemedicine visit.

No in-person visit, no requirement for an ultrasound to discern the gestational age of the baby, which if you're more than 10 weeks into pregnancy, your complication rates go way up.

So you can get the abortion pill prescribed to you through a telemedicine appointment and then have the abortion drug shipped to you through the mail.

Everyone knew those were the stakes of the 2020 election.

If Biden won, his FDA would reshape abortion provision in the United States in a fundamental way.

He won.

That's precisely what happened.

We had 900,000 abortions in the United States in 2020.

Last year, under these Biden rules, which we still have, two years into the Trump administration, there were 1.1 million abortions.
