As part of their COVID-19 response, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared abortion as an essential service. The U.K. has now issued temporary approval for chemical abortions to be completely done at home. The U.S. abortion lobby continues to call for the FDA to lift restrictions (REMs) off the abortion pill (U.S. brand "Mifeprex"), making way for complete "self-managed" abortions. Unfortunately, this is what the abortion industry all over the world has pursued even before the current pandemic -- for abortions to be unrestricted, unregulated, and do-it-yourself.
The abortion pill is a two-drug regimen that is basically a do-it-yourself method anyways, but normally, the woman would have some type of interaction with a physician by taking the first pill (mifepristone) under their supervision at the clinic (although this is no longer a requirement in the U.S. since 2016) and then going home to take the second drug (misoprostol) 24-48 hours later.
Gone are the days of abortion activists calling for abortions to be "safe, legal, and rare" to protect against desperate women performing their own "back-alley" abortions. Now, abortion pills are the new back-alley method, credentialed by the world's most prestigious medical institutions.
By placing the burden of inducing abortions completely on women -- despite the fact that the health complications that often result from an induced chemical abortion are eerily similar to those of "back-alley" abortions -- it is evident that the abortion industry has no regard for human dignity whatsoever -- for the child or the mother.
