From Martin Fox, President
National Pro-Life Alliance
Not all milestones are causes for celebration.
According to data from the Center for Disease Control and
the Food and Drug Administration, the abortion pill RU-486 has been used almost
2 million times since it was rushed through FDA approval in 1999. That’s 2
million unborn babies slaughtered by a single drug -- a grim commemoration of
just how fully we’ve abandoned our youngest and most defenseless.
Chemically killing babies has been a boon to the abortion
industry, because it helps abortion seem like an even easier, less
consequential way to escape an unwanted pregnancy. Just pop a pill and forget your troubles, the
sales pitch goes. But the hard truth is
that RU-486 only begins brand-new troubles.
Though taking a pill sounds less menacing than invading
the womb with sharp instruments, the end result is the same: a dead baby. And as you know, it’s never been as safe for
women as advertised, either.
Pro-abortion forces on Capitol Hill rushed RU-486 through
the testing and approval process without adequate medical scrutiny, and the
result has been thousands of American women gravely injured and even killed.
Of course my heart goes out to the mothers who mistakenly
placed their health in the abortion industry’s hands. But my heart absolutely breaks for the more
than two million innocent and defenseless lives that have been taken by RU-486.
Keep up the fight we must.
These are all important and worthy activities, but the National Pro-Life Alliance is singular in its focus on passing pro-life legislation that will protect the unborn from the moment of conception onward.
We believe that it is not sufficient to merely support minor regulations on abortion in a few outrageous cases.
Instead, members of the National Pro-Life Alliance lobby both incumbents and candidates for office to come out clearly for measure like a Life at Conception Act to legislatively define constitutionally-protected "personhood" as beginning at the moment of conception.
