A Dutch website that illegally sells the abortion pill to women in the United States saw a 27 percent increase in requests between March 20 and April 11, according to a recent study from the University of Texas. The study said the website normally would receive 2,638 requests in that timeframe but instead had 3,343.
The most significant increases happened in states with high rates of COVID-19 or where authorities included abortion on a list of nonessential medical procedures to cancel, often triggering legal battles. A few exceptions: Alabama, Arkansas, and Iowa all had to go to court to defend their coronavirus safety rules for abortion, but none of them saw a significant uptick in requests for abortion pills. And some states with the highest numbers of COVID-19 cases such as New York and California were among the most permissive in allowing abortion facilities to stay open.
Texas saw the biggest hike in pill requests, totaling 787 over the three-week time span—a 94 percent increase over what was expected. . . .
The pills, purchased illegally from the website of the group Aid Access, put women at risk of severe complications with no medical oversight. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Aid Access more than a year ago to stop “the introduction into interstate commerce of misbranded and unapproved new drugs.” But the FDA has still taken no action against the sites, and earlier this month a federal judge waived the FDA rules for legal distribution of abortion pills during the pandemic.
The number of calls to Heartbeat International’s Abortion Pill Hotline doubled in March and April, paralleling this increase in drug-induced abortions during the pandemic. Other pro-life organizations also saw more requests for help. . .
“They have a sense of urgency that is causing them to want to get in somewhere as quickly as possible,” Lori Szala, national director of client services for the Human Coalition, said in March. “The main concern that we’re seeing across the board is that they’re concerned about being able to pay for their existing children.”
Once the Human Coalition staff helps connect the mothers with job openings, insurance options, and other practical help, Szala said, they often choose to have their babies. One woman who lost her job and her insurance near the beginning of the pandemic felt desperate to have an abortion to focus on caring for her other children. But Human Coalition helped her find a job at Amazon, and she chose to keep her baby. “We need to remember that there are families in crisis that need our help,” Szala said. “They need to know they’re not alone.”

Father, forgive us for this evil. Bless those who minister to women who are afraid and help them find resources.
Thank you for praying for the ending of abortion — do not be discouraged for the devil will surely resist you through people ignorant of even the basics of the ten commandments “Thou Shalt Not Kill” — there have been 147,000 deaths in the U.S. from the virus that was first reported in Wuhan in late December — 495,000 babies have been aborted in the same time frame — abortion is 336% more deadly than the virus and that is all we hear about… Forgive us for removing Prayer and Bible from Public Schools in 1962 & 1963. This announced we as a nation do not fear You any longer nor do we need to seek Your blessing and protection. We were so wrong. We have backslidden since then tremendously, then legalized abortion in 1973, the shedding of innocent blood, to which You are in direct opposition, “There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood” (Prov 6:16-17).
…
“Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command, to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done, and for the innocent blood that Manasseh shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood. which the LORD would not pardon” (2 Kings 24:3-4). We see this is something You have never made statements so strongly against — it is shocking, sobering and sounds an alarm in my soul — I think we need to confess such an heinous atrocity which we confess as gross sin, pray about and resist daily.
…
The world aborts 66,000 – 120,000 babies daily — it took three months and 12 days to COVID-19 Coronavirus had been on our soil to reach that number of babies aborted daily — just let that sink in — all the people who died in NY, NJ, LA, Washington State, California and every other state and territory just in the U.S. alone equals the amount of Babies aborted daily worldwide — does your political loyalty further that or want to end it? Jesus, we plead the blood of Jesus over our sins and the sins of our nation — forgive us for furthering abortion throughout the world, end our involvement with the W.H.O. — end abortion and send revival to America. Strengthen our Christian leaders and protect us from the evil one (Matt 6:13, John 17:15, 2 Thes 3:2-3). Let the True Word of God and good teaching spread (2 Thes 3:1). May there be more outrage over 66,000 babies that are executed in what should be the safest place on earth than other civic issues that pale in significance to this the greatest of evils on the planet, Ex 20:13. In The Name of Jesus.
