Texas Professional-Life Group Calls on Trump Admin to Cease Mail-Order Abortion Capsules
Texas Right to Life called upon the Trump administration and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to stop federal support for mail-order abortion drugs. The Pro-Life group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America organized the national coalition letter to urge the White House to stand up for babies in the womb.
Six states—including Texas—are suing the Food and Drug Administration over policies put in place during the Biden administration that expanded the use of abortion pills. These changes allowed the drugs to be mailed nationwide without any in-person medical evaluation.
The result? A sharp rise in mail-order abortions.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, abortion pills now account for the majority of the 1.13 million abortions in the United States in 2025. That’s a dramatic shift—and one that’s raising serious concerns.
Growing evidence shows these drugs carry real risks. Data analyzed by the Ethics and Public Policy Center found that at least 1 in 10 women who take abortion pills end up needing emergency medical care within 45 days. Complications can include heavy bleeding, infection, and even sepsis.
And the risks aren’t just physical. Studies show women who undergo abortion face significantly higher rates of mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
These dangers are not just statistics—they are affecting real women.
One of them is Rosalie Markezich. Her boyfriend ordered abortion pills online and pressured her into taking them. Now, she is part of a lawsuit seeking to hold the FDA accountable for allowing these drugs to be so easily accessed without safeguards.
Mail-order abortion pills also open the door to abuse. Because they can be purchased anonymously, abusers and traffickers can obtain them without a woman’s knowledge and use them to kill her baby.
Even in states like Texas, where abortion is illegal, these pills are still being shipped in. That means state laws are being broken, and women are being put at risk.
To make matters worse, some states have passed so-called “shield laws,” protecting abortion providers who send these drugs across state lines. This makes it extremely difficult for Pro-Life states to enforce their laws and protect women and babies.
Despite all of this, there is growing agreement that something needs to change.
Recent polling shows that even many Democrat voters oppose abortion pills being sent through the mail without an in-person doctor’s visit. There is increasing concern that basic safety protocols have been stripped away.
The Trump administration has a clear opportunity to restore medical standards, respect state laws, and save babies from abortion. Texas Right to Life is urging them to act.
