This new policy is not health care. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the Point.

Last year, the FDA lifted an important restriction on the abortion pill, a drug that induces abortion in early pregnancy by starving the preborn child.

Where prior to the pandemic, doctors were required to meet face-to-face with patients before prescribing the drug.

That requirement was lifted during the pandemic, and last week, the FDA made

the policy change permanent. This comes just as our culture, from psychological literature to the arts,

has begun to understand miscarriage as real trauma, even if it's a loss not readily seen.

And part of the trauma is how hidden a miscarriage can feel. The abortion pill causes this trauma

on purpose. Not only do many

women report physical trauma, but without a face-to-face visit, the mother's isolated from one

less source of support and accountability. This is not health care. It does, however, clarify the

future of advocating for the pre-born. Hidden evil is allowed to flourish. We must work to change

hearts and minds. No matter what

the Supreme Court decides. I'm John Stone Street.
