Alabama Joins National Coalition Fighting Against Mail-Order Abortions

This week, the Alabama Policy Institute joined a coalition of pro-life organizations from across the nation in launching a grassroots effort calling on the Trump administration and members of Congress to end Joe Biden’s dangerous mail-order abortion scheme and restore the in-person doctor’s visit requirement that must be met before a woman can obtain chemical abortion drugs.

The abortion industry is shipping abortion pills into communities across the country with no medical oversight. Lives are being lost and women are being harmed. Activists across Alabama have begun contacting the Trump administration and calling members of Congress, demanding that federal officials reinstate the medical safeguards Biden stripped away.

A Mail-Order Crime Scene

There have been multiple criminal cases showing what happens when abortion pills can be ordered online and shipped to any mailbox with no medical gatekeeper. In Ohio, a doctor was accused of allegedly forcing a mother to take an abortion pill. In Texas, a man was indicted in 2026 on first-degree felony charges after prosecutors alleged he ordered an abortion drug online, crushed it into a drink, and gave it to his pregnant girlfriend without her knowledge, causing the death of their unborn child. In a separate Texas case, a man was charged with capital murder after authorities alleged he secretly added abortion-inducing pills to his pregnant girlfriend’s coffee, killing a child she wanted to keep.

A Documented Health Threat to Women

According to research from Restoration of America, more than one million babies were aborted in 2024, with mail-order pills serving as the largest driver of that increase. Research warns these drugs put women at risk of sepsis, hemorrhaging, and rupturing, dangers that an in-person exam is designed to catch.
