In their latest piece for The Federalist, Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins and Vice President of Media & Policy Kristi Hamrick deliver a forceful call to action for attorney generals to join federal and state agencies and law enforcement in their fight against the deadly Chemical Abortion Pill cartel.
Drawing on their extensive experience in pro-life policy and media, Hamrick and Hawkins argue that while legislators have begun to address the issue, enforcement bodies must now step up to dismantle the networks distributing Chemical Abortion Pills illegally and dangerously, specifically addressing shield laws.
This is urgent.
It’s time for a coordinated legal action to protect women and preborn women that frames the issue as a matter of public safety and justice.
“A virtual drug cartel brags about setting up a distribution network from municipalities that don’t care about the kind of crimes they commit. Their targets are disproportionately people in states where the law limits the drugs due to health and safety concerns and dangers to young children. Shockingly, the people who sell the drugs intend for someone to die every time the drugs are used. Yet this crisis is often ignored — this drug cartel deals chemical abortion pills.
A constitutional crisis is underway: Attorneys general are on the front lines, as chemical abortion pills are mailed in violation of the Comstock Act and blue states facilitate law-breaking and loss of life for their neighbors.
Attorneys general are stepping up, but they need to do more. More than 20 have called on Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reinstate health and safety standards for chemical abortion pills. In another recent letter, 16 state attorneys general called on Congress to address the attack on states’ pro-life laws through so-called shields.”
