Judges last week blocked two state laws protecting babies with detectable heartbeats.

A federal judge ruled on Monday that women can obtain abortion pills during the coronavirus pandemic without going to a medical facility. Under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s previous rules, women seeking chemically induced abortions had to visit healthcare providers and take the first pill under supervision.

Unborn babies with a “detectable human heartbeat” are no longer protected in Georgia. U.S. District Judge Steve Jones on Monday permanently ruled the state’s 2019 “heartbeat” law unconstitutional after the American Civil Liberties Union sued on behalf of pro-abortion advocates and abortion providers.

Beth Vanderkooi has personally witnessed the fallout when abortionists in Columbus, Ohio, committed medical malpractice. The executive director of Greater Columbus Right to Life once spent the night in a hospital with a woman who was hemorrhaging after a botched surgical abortion at Founder’s Women’s Health Center, the oldest abortion business in Ohio. Pro-life advocates stationed outside of the facility could tell something was wrong with the woman as soon as she left the building: She was bleeding so heavily that blood had soaked through her clothes.

An undercover investigation in the United Kingdom found that women have received the abortion pill in the mail without confirming their identities or the gestational ages of their unborn babies. The lack of accountability for meeting those basic medical standards puts women at risk of life-threatening complications.

Gulzia Mogdin was visiting China from Kazakhstan in December 2017 when authorities detained her for having WhatsApp on her phone. When a test found she was two months pregnant with her third child, officials forcibly aborted the baby and planned to put Mogdin in a detention camp. It was months before she made it back across the border.

The U.S. Supreme Court won’t hear arguments against buffer zones around abortion businesses. The plaintiffs in the two cases said rules regulating speech outside of abortion facilities violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The city of Chicago requires pro-life advocates to get verbal consent to approach someone within 50 feet of a facility like Planned Parenthood to hand out information, counsel, or protest.
