Biden administration’s push to expand access to abortion pills fought by pro-life doctors

Pro-life doctors sounded the alarm Wednesday about the Biden administration’s effort to expand access to abortion pills, arguing that lifting restrictions will put the lives of pregnant women at risk.

Leaders of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) said the White House and leading medical groups are failing to warn the public about the dangers associated with allowing at-home chemical abortion medication to be delivered by mail without an in-person clinic visit.

“We need to protect our women patients from this push for DIY medication abortions,” Dr. Christina Francis, a board-certified OB/GYN in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the CEO-elect of the pro-life physicians’ group, said on a press call.
