WASHINGTON -- "The move sets up a high-stakes fight over the drug, mifepristone, that could sharply curtail access to medication that is used in more than half of all pregnancy terminations in the United States." -- The New York Times
Stanton Public Policy Center is thankful the nation's highest court has agreed to take up the case that could result in significant restrictions on the use of mifepristone, also known as the "abortion pill."
Based in Idaho, Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution is a women's advocacy and educational group that works on issues of human rights and justice which empower and inspire women. It is affiliated with Stanton Healthcare which has life-affirming women's health clinics in America and internationally.
Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution launched a national campaign last year called #BanChemicalAbortions which includes:
- Ensuring all states with trigger laws in place that ban abortions will treat chemical abortions in the same manner as surgical abortions.
- Drafting model legislation for states to ban chemical abortions.
- Organizing public rallies and demonstrations across the country calling for a ban of chemical abortions.
- Partnering with legislators on environmental laws to prevent children who have been killed through chemical abortions from being flushed into local sewage and drainage systems.
- Providing educational materials to pro-life organizations and churches regarding the harmful effects of chemical abortions.
- Working with federal, state, and local pro-life politicians on detailed public statements regarding banning chemical abortions.
- Networking with local life-affirming medical clinics and pregnancy resource centers on chemical abortion pill reversal.
Brandi Swindell, CEO and Founder of Stanton Healthcare, shared:
"Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution condemns the FDA's approval of chemical abortion pills being made available by mail, and in local pharmacies. We are hopeful the Supreme Court will protect the lives of preborn children and their mothers by prohibiting the dangerous practices around chemical abortion pills.
"Chemical abortions now make up more than half of all abortions in the United States which take the lives of innocent children, put women at risk, and are turning neighborhood pharmacies into abortion clinics.
"Our goal is to end chemical abortions through public engagement, education, life-affirming public policy, and legislation. The pro-life community, and all who embrace human rights, must passionately stand against this barbaric, anti-woman practice."
