Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America 

Leaders affiliated with the national pro-life advocacy group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America issued statements expressing disappointment with the Supreme Court's decision and raising concerns about its implications. 

"It is deeply disappointing that the FDA was not held accountable today for its reckless decisions. As a practicing OB-GYN with over 30 years' experience, I have seen firsthand that mail-order abortion drugs harm my patients, both mothers and their unborn children," said Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs at SBA Pro-Life America's research arm the Charlotte Lozier Institute. 

Lamenting that "abortion advocates and corporate media ignore their stories as they shamelessly promote mail-order distribution of dangerous drugs without a single in-person doctor visit," Skop predicted seeing "more women need blood transfusions, emergency surgery and other drastic measures and our emergency medical systems overwhelmed."

She insisted, "This is not health care, it's abandonment and the pro-life community will never stop advocating for patients."

SBA Pro-Life America State Policy Director Katie Daniel offered similar analysis, describing Thursday as "a sad day for all who value women's health and unborn children's lives" while asserting that "the fight to stop dangerous mail-order abortion drugs is not over."

She thanked the attorneys general of Idaho, Kansas and Missouri for "fighting to hold government bureaucrats accountable for betraying women and children" by challenging the abortion pill at the state level.
