Planned Parenthood Offers ‘Just In Case Abortion Pills’
A Planned Parenthood affiliate is offering “Just In Case Abortion Pills,” to women who aren’t even pregnant. These pills, currently offered in two states, Washington and Hawaii, are stocked up before pregnancy begins as an “advanced provision” in the event that an unwanted pregnancy occurs later on. The pills, mifepristone and misoprostol, are considered standard abortion medication and can be used up to 12 weeks in the pregnancy.
Pro-abortionists endorse stocking abortion medication in the medicine cabinet, saying that, in states like Washington and Hawaii, getting to a clinic quickly can be difficult. Having the medication on hand, therefore, “is important” says Elisa Wells, co-founder of the website about the abortion medication called Plan C.
Inserting abortion medication in the medicine cabinet with Ibuprofen and Aspirin denotes a disturbing push to recognize it as a basic need. Not to mention the complete lack of oversight puts women’s health in danger.
While in advance abortion medication has been offered by various telehealth establishments for many years, the credit that these “just in case” pills gain through Planned Parenthood’s endorsement is significant, due to the company’s popularity and long standing “trust” that it has built with its clients.
Although many states prohibit or restrict abortion, people are still traveling to access it, giving cause for concern that, if allowed, “Just In Case Abortion Pills” will gain popularity. Rebecca Gibron, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, and Kentucky, said to NPR, “As evidence supporting this model of care has continued to grow, and with supportive policy environments in Washington and in Hawai’i, this really is the right time for us to step into this space.”
Pro-abortion activists are worried that abortion pills, which account for about 65% of U.S. abortions, might be under threat. But while the Food and Drug Administration drags its feet in its safety review that could result in limited access, the pro-abortion movement is doing everything it can to get these pills in the hands of vulnerable women (and sometimes abusive boyfriends). States such as Massachusetts and California, for instance, have been stockpiling abortion pills for years.
The particular danger of these pills is the convenience they offer. Pro-abortionists argue that getting an abortion in the U.S. can be chaotic and confusing due to travel, negative pressure from family and significant others, lack of parental support, or taking time off to get to an abortion clinic. But what the pro abortionists do not admit is that these “safe, simple, and effective” pills only hide the inevitable destruction and inner confusion that comes from killing an innocent child. To name them both safe and effective is a contradiction in terms.
