The State of Louisiana, led by Attorney General Liz Murrill, and abortion drug coercion survivor Rosalie Markezich, are asking a federal district court to block the Biden administration’s mail-order abortion drug rule in a new filing this week. They sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this year, citing the Biden-era rule for harming women, ending the lives of countless unborn children, and undermining efforts by states like Louisiana to enforce protective pro-life laws.

Markezich has spoken out about how the Biden rule enables coercion and abuse toward women who are unwilling to abort their babies. Last year Louisiana enacted the Catherine and Josephine Herring Act making it a crime to poison women with abortion drugs after the harrowing experience of Catherine Herring and her daughter, who survived seven poisoning attempts.

In a letter to U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) last week, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary admitted hundreds of women have required blood transfusions due to abortion drugs – yet he has given no timetable for ending Biden’s mail-order drug rule or completing a promised safety review of mifepristone. SBA Pro-Life America has called for Makary to be fired.

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser welcomed the move, saying:

“Louisiana and other states are demanding action to stop dangerous mail-order abortion drugs as the administration is MIA. Undermining strong pro-life laws in 21 states, abortion drugs now cause more deaths a year in the United States than opioids and all other drugs combined – fueled by Biden-era rules allowing them to be sent by mail without ever seeing a doctor in person. Not only unborn children, but mothers, too, are at risk. The horrifying case of an Ohio woman allegedly force-fed abortion drugs against her will is one of at least a dozen poisonings and deaths we know of while the Biden rules have been in force.

“It’s time to treat this as the crisis it is. This administration could have ended Biden’s cruel mail-order drug scheme and reinstated commonsense safeguards from the first Trump administration on day one, and 7 in 10 voters including a majority of liberals would back them. But with Marty Makary in charge of the FDA, not only has a new generic abortion drug been approved, but news reports confirm the comprehensive safety review we’ve repeatedly been promised has not even started – reportedly slow-walked for political, not scientific reasons. Enough is enough. Fire Makary and end Biden’s mail-order drug madness today.”

Peer-reviewed research found three quarters of ER visits within 30 days after abortion drug use were coded as severe or critical. Two separate, independent studies also found more than 1 in 10 women experience at least one severe adverse event. Complications can include hemorrhaging, infection, sepsis, and even death.
