On
Thursday, my wife Eileen and I travelled to DC for the March for Life,
as I have done every year since 1980, and that very day NYC started a
“free” (NYC paid), abortion-pill giveaway near our 28-year-old South
Bronx pregnancy health center!
The New York Post reports that “city-run health clinics will soon be able to provide ‘medical abortions’ with pills to terminate a pregnancy.”
The
city’s Department of Health and Mental Health, stated in a legal notice
that it will enter into a “sole source” contract with a pharmaceutical
company to buy mifepristone tablets, the abortion pill. Mifepristone is
used with another pill, misoprostol, to abort a baby within the first 11
weeks of gestation.
Free, dangerous abortion pills on the taxpayers’ dime, with no required doctor consult or ultrasound. INSANE!
The reason? To “mitigate the threat to public health posed by the recent Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.”
What?!
NYC’s Department of Health promotes abortion and its anti-life agenda
to protect us from the “threat to public health” by the Supreme Court?
My
immediate response is to add 2 new nurses for in-office work, 3 new
nurses for Telemed off-site work, expand ultrasound hours, add
additional advertising, AND create a new streetforce with good
counselling skills and literature to steer away women being lured and
enticed into the four NYC run “clinic” killing sites.
BOLD? Yes, but in the NYC pro-life movement, I am the only one “crazy” enough to do this.
“Every day,” claims the Department of Health’s official website, “we protect and promote the health of 8 million New Yorkers.”
The
tragedy is that the NYC “health department”—which should have as its
mandate the upholding of all life—is vigorously pursuing a policy of
death by pushing harder and harder for widespread risky abortion pills.
The consequences will be disastrous.
Over 110,000 pregnancies were terminated in New York State in 2020, double the national rate.
The use of the abortion pill jumped nearly 52 percent from 2010 to 2019.
GIVE TODAY TO SUPPORT OUR PILL RESPONSE!
