Today, a major shift has taken place: Abortion pills are now the most common way babies are killed in the United States. In fact, they make up more than half of all abortions each year. And unlike before, these pills can now be sent through the mail, often without an in-person doctor visit.

That’s a huge change from how things used to work.

Recently, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley introduced a new bill, the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, that aims to push back on this shift. His proposal would ban abortion pills nationwide and allow women to sue the companies that make them if they are harmed.

Senator Hawley spoke about his bill at a press conference, stressing the growing threat of abortion pills to women. “The science is clear: the abortion drug is inherently dangerous to women and prone to abuse. Yet major companies like Danco Laboratories are making billions off it,” said Senator Hawley. “That’s why I am introducing new legislation to ban the use of mifepristone for abortion and empower women to sue its manufacturers. Congress must act now to protect the health and safety of women.”

Abortion pills now account for over half of the one million abortions that abortionists perform in the United States each year, making them one of the greatest threats to human Life in America. 

Chemical abortions have driven national abortion numbers even higher than they were under Roe v. Wade. If Congress passes Senator Hawley’s bill, it will save countless preborn babies and protect mothers from exploitation by the abortion industry.

Right now, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows abortion pills to be mailed to women in any state—even in places like Texas where there are strong Pro-Life laws. These pills can be sent without the woman ever seeing a doctor in person… At any stage of pregnancy.

Between 2023 and 2024, the Society for Family Planning estimated that 35,810 abortion pills were mailed into Texas from outside sources, going against Texas law. Because abortion organizations operate very privately, these numbers can’t be fully verified—but they still show that this is happening on a large scale. This tragedy calls for stronger national protections.

Abortion activists also encourage women to stockpile abortion pills “just in case” they become pregnant. This dangerous advice ignores the increased risk of complications when women take these drugs without medical oversight. Once again, the abortion industry proves it prioritizes killing babies over safeguarding women.

When the FDA first approved mifepristone and misoprostol, the agency required in-person doctor visits before and after the regimen, along with a black box warning detailing severe health risks. The Obama and Biden administrations removed these basic protections. 

Today, abortionists are not required to inform women of known dangers, nor do they bear liability for complications. Medical providers are not even required to report abortion related complications unless a woman dies. Abortion groups also advise women to conceal abortion complications by claiming a natural miscarriage, further hiding the true risks of these drugs. 

The lack of medical oversight has created an opening for human traffickers, abusers, and other predators to obtain abortion pills and force them onto unwilling and unsuspecting mothers.

Despite ongoing liberal efforts to silence the reporting of abortion drug complications, an analysis of insurance claim data conducted by the Ethics and Public Policy Council (EPPC) discovered that at least 1 in 10 women required emergency room care within 45 days of taking abortion pills. Complications included infections, sepsis, and uncontrolled hemorrhaging. These statistics do not even account for the severe emotional trauma suffered by women, including post-traumatic stress disorder, suicidal ideation, and lifelong grief.

Senator Hawley’s Pro-Life bill seeks to end the evils committed by previous administrations that legalized mifepristone for killing babies and paved the way for its unrestricted distribution and abuse. If passed, the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act would:

• Revoke FDA approval of mifepristone for abortion;
• Make it illegal to label and distribute mifepristone for the purpose of ending a pregnancy; and
• Create a legal mechanism for all women who have been harmed by these drugs to sue abortion pill manufacturers.

On March 25, the United States Senate started an official investigation into the companies that make abortion pills. They asked every company approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to turn over records showing they are following the rules. This investigation signals growing momentum behind Senator Hawley’s effort.

As this investigation picks up momentum in Washington, people across the country are urging their state leaders to act now and put stronger protections in place.

Texas Right to Life urges Pro-Life Texans to immediately contact Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and call on them to sign on and fully support Senator Hawley’s bill. 

Senator Ted Cruz – (202) 224-5922

Senator John Cornyn – (202) 224-2934

Sample script for call: 

Hi, my name is ____. I am asking Senator ____ to back Senator Hawley’s bill to ban chemical abortion pills (Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act). These drugs kill babies, endanger women, violate Texas law, and fuel the abortion industry’s abuse. I want the Senator to stand strong for Life and support this legislation.

Texas families can’t afford to wait while abortion pill distributors ignore the law and put women and children at risk. Now is the moment for Congress to stand firm, protect women, and defend every preborn baby!

Recently, at Houston Christian University, a moment unfolded that captures exactly what this mission is meant to be.

During a sidewalk outreach, one of our scholarship recipients, named Jadyn, and her friend Jacob were approached by a pregnant student and her boyfriend. 

Like so many couples in similar situations, they were navigating difficult emotions and unknowns about the future. The conversations began simply, with Jadyn and her friend speaking to the couple separately. But within minutes, what happened next could not have been planned or expected. In two separate conversations, just moments apart, both the mother and the father made the decision to give their lives to Jesus Christ.

In the middle of fear, God brought peace. In the middle of confusion, He brought clarity. And in a culture that so often tells people they are alone, He showed up in a deeply personal way. This was not just a shift in perspective—it was a transformation of heart.

This is what the Pro-Life movement looks like when it is lived out fully. Yes, it defends the life of babies in the womb, but it also reaches for the souls of the parents. Because abortion is not only a physical crisis, it is often a spiritual one. And in that moment, these students didn’t just offer information or resources—they offered the Gospel, the only thing that can truly heal what fear and brokenness create.

What happened on that sidewalk carries weight far beyond a single conversation. According to Christian Smith of the University of Notre Dame, decades of research show that the single greatest influence on a child’s faith is not culture, media, or even church leaders—it is their parents. His work demonstrates that the most reliable predictor of a young person’s beliefs is the faith lived out inside their home.

That means when a mother and father encounter Christ, the impact doesn’t stop with them. It reaches into the life of their child and extends into future generations. Parents become the primary voices shaping how their children understand God, truth, and purpose. Not through perfection or having all the right answers, but through consistency, honesty, and the way they live out their faith day by day.

Research shows it is not about saying everything perfectly or following a specific formula. What matters most is the relationship—emotional warmth, genuine conversations, and a willingness to listen. Children are shaped not just by what their parents say, but by how deeply they feel loved and how authentically they see faith lived out. And when both a mother and a father embrace that faith together, the influence becomes even stronger.

That is why moments like this matter so deeply. Because what began as a simple sidewalk conversation is now something much bigger. A child who might have entered the world surrounded by fear can now be raised in a home grounded in faith. A couple who may have felt alone now shares a foundation that can guide them through every challenge ahead. A story that could have ended in heartbreak is now marked by hope and redemption.

This is the true heartbeat of the Pro-Life mission. It is not only about preventing loss—it is about building something lasting. It is about stepping into moments of crisis and bringing not just help, but transformation. It is about recognizing that every life saved is connected to other lives, other stories, and future generations.

What happened at Houston Christian University is a reminder that when we show up faithfully, God moves powerfully. And sometimes, in the span of just a few minutes, He doesn’t just change one Life—He changes an entire family’s future.

Noelia was only 25 years old. She had endured repeated sexual assaults, and the trauma from those experiences haunted her for years. She struggled with severe depression, had been admitted to psychiatric facilities more than once, and had previously attempted to take her own life. By her own words, she felt completely overwhelmed. In an interview on Antena 3, she described feeling empty, alone, and without purpose. She said she had no goals, no motivation, and no desire to keep going. Her world, as she put it, felt “very dark.”

At the same time, she made something else very clear. Although she had impairment from a spinal injury, she was not bedridden. She was able to get up, shower, and take care of herself. This was not a case of someone in the final stages of a terminal illness. This was a young woman in deep emotional and psychological pain—pain that can be treated and healed with the right care and support.

God brings peace and healing to the brokenhearted. Even after unimaginable trauma, healing and a full life are still possible through Him. There are churches, nonprofits, and counseling centers ready to walk alongside people in these painful situations, offering the care, support, and hope they need. That way, women don’t have to numb the pain; they can live fully free.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

In April 2024, Noelia requested euthanasia under Spanish law. Her request was approved, setting off a long legal battle led by her father, who strongly opposed the decision. He pleaded for more time, believing his daughter needed help, not death. With the support of the Christian Lawyers, he fought to stop the procedure and took the case as far as the European Court of Human Rights. For nearly two years, the family tried to intervene.

But on March 24, the court declined to stop the euthanasia. With that decision, the final barrier was removed. Within days, the process moved forward.

What happened next has left many people shaken. In a video shared online, Noelia’s best friend can be seen arriving in tears, begging for the chance to see her one last time. She pleads with staff, clearly desperate and heartbroken. She is turned away. There is no final goodbye, no moment of comfort—just a closed door in what would be the last hours of a young woman’s life.

Another detail makes the situation even more troubling. According to her attorney, Polonia Castellanos, the euthanasia was not delayed, even as the family continued to object, because Noelia’s organs had already been designated for donation. 

This raises serious concerns about whether outside factors may have influenced the timing of her death. When a decision as final as this is connected to something else—especially something as sensitive as organ donation—it leaves many wondering if the system is truly focused on the person in front of them.

Noelia herself knew her family did not agree with her choice. She acknowledged that they would be left behind with pain, but said she wanted her own suffering to end. Her words reveal just how alone and hopeless she felt. But they also highlight the core issue in this case. She was not saying there was absolutely no help left. She was saying she felt there was no way out.

That is what makes this story so difficult to ignore. A 25-year-old woman, who was physically capable of living her daily life, who had a family fighting for her, and who had a history of mental health struggles, was ultimately approved for assisted suicide. Instead of being surrounded with more care, more time, and more support, her life was brought to an end.

Although this took place in Spain, these pressures exist in Texas too. Some hospitals and organ donation businesses push families to “pull the plug” not out of concern for the patient, but from financial gain.

This case raises a painful but necessary question. When someone is suffering deeply—especially from emotional and psychological wounds—should the answer be to end their life, or should it be to help them cope with that pain?

Noelia Castillo Ramos is gone, but her story remains. It leaves behind grief, unanswered questions, and a growing concern that in moments where people need compassion the most, states and countries are failing miserably.

In her last five minutes, her grandmother began to panic. She asked where she would sleep that night. Trying to comfort her, the family reassured her that “God prepared a golden house” and that they would join her later.

But the question lingers: Why was she afraid?

Even after making the decision to end her life, something deep within her seemed to resist it.

One commenter on the video made an observation worth noting: that her reaction may have been her body doing what it was created to do—fight to stay alive.

That instinct is not random. It reflects something fundamental about human nature. We are not designed to choose death. We are wired for Life, for survival, for connection, and for hope.

Scripture speaks to this truth clearly:

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Life is not ours to take. It is a gift entrusted to us.

Even in cases of serious illness, the desire to die is often not driven solely by physical pain. Many patients experience deep emotional suffering—fear, loneliness, depression, or a sense of being a burden.

These are real struggles, but they are also treatable. With the right support, many people who once felt hopeless go on to find peace and meaning again. In fact, research shows that among those who attempt suicide but survive, fewer than 4% will go on to die by suicide in the next five years. Even over decades, the majority do not.

This raises an important truth: physician-assisted suicide offers a permanent solution to what is often a temporary and treatable state of despair.

The comments on the video were mixed. Some saw the grandmother’s fear as a sign of regret. Others described their own loved ones choosing assisted death and believed it brought peace.

These stories reflect the emotional weight of the issue. But they also reveal something deeper: people are searching for a way to respond to suffering with compassion.

The question is not whether we should care for those who are suffering… We absolutely should. The question is how.

True compassion does not mean helping someone end their life. It means walking with them, caring for them, and reminding them that their life still has value, even in its most difficult moments. No one should feel that death is their best or only option.

We are meant to be in community until the very end—not isolated, not abandoned, and not given a prescription for death.

Instead of expanding physician-assisted suicide, we should be expanding care:

• End-of-Life care that manages pain;
• Emotional and psychological support; and
• Communities that surround the vulnerable with love and dignity.

Every person, no matter their condition, deserves to be seen, valued, and protected.

That grandmother’s final moments offer a glimpse into a deeper truth. Even at the edge of death, something within her reached for Life. That instinct matters. It reminds us that Life is not something to discard when it becomes difficult.

Physician-assisted suicide may promise control or relief, but it risks abandoning people at the very moment they need care the most. We can do better.

We can choose a culture that does not offer death as a solution, but instead upholds the dignity of every human being—until their natural death.

Speaking with Elex Michaelson around the time of the overturning of Roe, Newsom suggested a redefinition of what it means to be Pro-Life.

“I appreciate that so many people, so many progressives, are leaning into redefining what Pro-Life is really about, and that’s what we’re doing in California,” Siebel Newsom said. “You know, Pro-Life is about prenatal care and universal preschool and universal after-school and universal healthcare and taking care of foster kids and feeding, you know, universal meals and childcare. Like, that’s Pro-Life. It’s not conception.”

Her comments reflect a growing trend among abortion advocates to shift the definition of “Pro-Life” away from its core meaning: the protection of human life from the beginning. While care for mothers, children, and families is deeply important, the Pro-Life movement has long maintained that these efforts must include protecting children in the womb as well.

Jennifer Newsom also criticized what she described as the “far right,” claiming their views are harmful to the country.

“They’re living in this silo, this evangelical, conservative silo that, ultimately, is just pulling us back as a country to a time and a place where we don’t deserve to be, and we’re not going to be,” Siebel Newsom said. “Because honestly, young women and fathers of daughters are awake now, and they’re woke, and they’re not going to let us go back.”

She added that she has “so much hope” in a cultural shift and emphasized California’s role in leading the nation.

However, she acknowledged the cultural shift in her statement. A country being influenced by Christians to value babies in the womb. And thanks be to God, Texas is leading in these efforts. In 2025, new laws expanded protections for mothers and babies, promoting adoption, and increasing resources for women facing unplanned pregnancies.

At the same time, California continues to be a leading state for abortion. In 2024 alone, an estimated 183,720 preborn children lost their lives to abortion in the state, including more than 1,300 women and girls who traveled from Texas.

Last month, during a bill-signing ceremony for a policy that allocates $90 million in emergency funding to abortion facilities such as Planned Parenthood, Siebel Newsom expressed frustration with reporters for focusing on other state issues.

“We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population,” she said. “And the majority of the questions — all of these questions — have really been about other issues. So, it’s just fascinating.”

Her comments highlight the sharp divide in how leaders and activists define care for women and children. For the Pro-Life movement, being Pro-Life is not a matter of redefining the term according to the culture, but of remaining consistent: defending Life at every stage, beginning at fertilization, while continuing to expand support for women, families, and children in need.

Siebel Newsom’s acknowledgment that cultural attitudes are shifting may point to a broader reality: the conversation around preborn babies is far from settled. For many advocates, it is a sign that hearts and minds are still open, and that the case for protecting both mother and child continues to resonate in communities across the country. 

California doesn’t need to set the trend on abortion. Texas already leads the way, and we stand firm that preborn babies should be protected.

When asked how they identify on abortion, 37% of respondents said they are “Pro-Life,” while 62% identified as “pro-choice.” Only 1% said they were unsure.

Among Catholics, the difference is striking. Of those who say they actively practice their faith, 58% identify as Pro-Life, compared to 41% who say they are pro-abortion. Among non-practicing Catholics, the numbers flip. Only 31% identify as Pro-Life, while 68% say they are pro-abortion.

This contrast highlights the powerful role that faith and moral formation play in recognizing the dignity of every baby in the womb.

However, there is something deeply concerning in this study. About one-third of those polled believe abortion should be allowed at any point in pregnancy, up until birth. That means 32% of Americans support the most extreme position on abortion.

At the same time, 37% say most abortions should be illegal. Within that group:

• 6% say abortion should never be allowed under any circumstances
• 10% say it should only be permitted to save the life of the mother
• 21% say it should be limited to cases involving the mother’s life, rape, or incest

But even some of these so-called “exceptions” reveal a tragic inconsistency.

Every preborn child, regardless of how he or she was conceived or the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy, has inherent dignity and a Right to Life. A child conceived in rape is no less human. A child diagnosed with a condition is no less worthy of protection. True medical care should always seek to save both mother and child, never intentionally end one life for the convenience of the other.

The discomfort many Americans feel about abortion is a sign that hearts are not hardened. It is a sign that consciences are still at work.

Many who identify as “pro-choice” do not support abortion without limits. Deep down, they know something is wrong. The question is whether they will be invited to fully embrace the truth that every baby, without exception, deserves protection.

How We Can Make a Difference

This moment calls for courage, clarity, and compassion. It is not too late to change these numbers and build a culture of Life in your community, our state, and our nation.

Speak the truth boldly. Do not shy away from conversations. Help others understand that every preborn baby has value.

Bring the message into your community. Share the Pro-Life message in your church, workplace, and social circles. Culture changes when people are willing to speak up.

Support women in need. Connect pregnant women to local Pregnancy Resource Centers, where they can receive life-affirming care, resources, and hope.

Polls can reveal where people stand, but it is people, not percentages, who change the world.

Right now, there is a clear opportunity to help our neighbors move from uncertainty to conviction and to build a culture where every baby in the womb is protected, with no exceptions.
