(April 17, 2025 – Fredericksburg, Virginia) American Life League is pointing to the dramatic increase in non-medically supervised pill abortions, as marketed by online-only abortion facilities. According to a new report by the Guttmacher Institute, released April 16, 2025, these DIY abortions increased by 40,000 between 2023 and 2024. That number does not include the estimated 34,500 chemical pill abortions provided to pregnant mothers by skirting the laws in states with abortion bans.
Katie Brown Xavios, American Life League’s national director, issued the following statement in response:
“The new data released by the Guttmacher Institute confirms what we said in the fall of 2024. ‘Online-only clinics’ or in other words, the abortion pill drug cartel, account for 14% of all abortions. But in the words of the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute themselves, this is only a small fraction of how many abortion pills are really crossing state lines. The rest are kept quiet because of shield laws. The true number is likely much closer to 50% or more. When will this madness end? These pills continue to cross our nation’s border into states with pro-life laws, with absolutely no regard for the women or babies involved. The reckless and dangerous distribution of these deadly pills only continues to rise, and so do the cases babies who were never given a chance and women who were murdered by these pills. This must end. When will our lawmakers start taking the dignity of human life seriously?”
