Chemical abortions are injuring women at alarming rates, judges face fire and fury (literally), and the Supreme Court is weighing whether speech behind a therapist’s door is free or forbidden.
Abortion Pill Dangers Exposed: 1 in 10 Women Harmed
A comprehensive new analysis of health insurance data has uncovered a disturbing truth about the abortion lobby’s favorite narrative: chemical abortions — promoted as safe, easy, and even “safer than Tylenol” — are sending more than 10% of women to the ER with serious complications.
Between 2017 and 2023, over 865,000 chemical abortions were tracked, with nearly 11% resulting in serious adverse events, according to the Foundation for the Restoration of America. And the danger is growing — in 2023 alone, 154,000 women experienced complications, many following the FDA’s decision to lift in-person doctor requirements under President Biden.
Pro-life advocates say “DIY abortion” is not only endangering women and girls but also making it easier for abusers and traffickers to access mail-order abortion drugs without medical oversight.
“Even Planned Parenthood’s own data shows double the number of adverse events than what’s reported to the FDA,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser.
Despite the fall of Roe v. Wade, abortion numbers are rising again — driven by at-home chemical abortions, now accounting for 63% of all abortions in the U.S.
Judge’s Home Engulfed in Flames After High-Profile Ruling
In a shocking and still-unresolved incident, a blaze consumed the remote beach home of South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein this weekend — just weeks after she issued a controversial ruling blocking the state election commission from cooperating with the DOJ.
The fire injured three, including Judge Goodstein’s husband, a Vietnam vet and former Democrat state senator, who was airlifted in critical condition. Others escaped through windows or were rescued by kayak as flames overtook the home on Edisto Island.
Officials have not confirmed arson, but speculation has been fueled by reports of death threats received by the judge after her ruling. South Carolina’s chief justice confirmed heightened security measures are in place for judges while the investigation continues.
“At this time, there is no evidence the fire was intentionally set,” SLED stated, but added the investigation remains active.
Supreme Court May Strike Down Colorado’s ‘Conversion Therapy’ Ban
In a landmark free speech case argued Tuesday, the Supreme Court appears ready to side with a Christian counselor challenging Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” — a ruling that could upend similar laws in 27 states.
The core legal question: Does the state have the right to regulate what licensed professionals can say in therapy, or is that an unconstitutional restriction of free speech and religious belief?
Petitioner Mary Chiles argues the law censors her religious viewpoint and blocks her from counseling minors on gender and sexuality according to her convictions.
While the 10th Circuit previously upheld the ban as a regulation of conduct, multiple conservative justices appeared skeptical — warning of government overreach into viewpoint-based censorship.
“There is a mountain of evidence that conversion therapy is harmful,” Colorado’s lawyer claimed. But challengers pushed back, saying no credible studies demonstrate harm and that the law is ideologically motivated.
The Court’s decision, expected by June, could redefine the balance between state authority and free speech in professional settings — and determine whether ideological conformity is becoming a legal mandate.
