Urgent Prayer Need: Critical Hearing on Abortion Pill
Activists are saying this case is bigger than Dobbs for abortion and life. Let’s keep everyone involved in our prayers as we appeal to heaven on behalf of the unborn.
From LifeNews. A federal judge in Texas has requested a hearing in a case challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the abortion drug mifepristone.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
As reported by CatholicVote, the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) sued the FDA in November 2022 on behalf of the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the Catholic Medical Association, and others. The suit contends that:
- The FDA’s 2000 approval of the chemical abortion cocktail violated the safety standards of due diligence laid out by Congress.
- The FDA ignored valid evidence and stonewalled ADF’s clients for over 20 years, recklessly terminating “the necessary safeguards for women who undergo this controversial drug regimen.”
- The FDA violated the U.S. Code § 1461 by allowing these drugs to be sent by mail.
According to Planned Parenthood, mifepristone is the first of two medications used in a chemical abortion. It blocks the hormone progesterone from reaching the woman’s uterus, breaking down the lining of the uterine wall and killing the child.
The Leak
Anonymous and unauthorized sources indicated to Washington Post reporters that U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk met with lawyers in Amarillo, TX, last Friday and scheduled the hearing for Wednesday, March 15. According to The Washington Post:
Kacsmaryk scheduled the hearing during a call with attorneys Friday, said multiple people familiar with the call, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it. Kacsmaryk said he would delay putting the hearing on the public docket until late Tuesday to try to minimize disruptions and possible protests, and asked the lawyers on the call not to share information about it before then, the people said. …
Track Record of Violence
The Washington Post’s anonymous source alleged that “Kacsmaryk told the attorneys that he also wanted to delay publicizing the hearing because courthouse members have received threats in the wake of the lawsuit, according to the people familiar with the call.”
Other anonymous sources told reporters that “the judge and his family have faced security threats since he ascended to the federal bench in 2019, and those threats have intensified ahead of the abortion pill ruling.” …
Bigger than Dobbs?
Leftist activists have characterized the Texas case as “bigger than Dobbs,” claiming it could outlaw the chemical abortion drug mifepristone nationwide. …
The case does have far-ranging implications, because ADF is requesting that the court set aside the FDA’s approval of mifepristone and misoprostol for chemical abortion purposes. “At the same time,” said [Erik Baptist, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom], “it’s a reasonable [ask], because the FDA, from beginning to end, has failed to follow the plain requirements of the law.”
‘Reckless’ FDA
CatholicVote and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) filed an amicus brief in the ADF vs. FDA case from concerned members of Congress.
“The FDA’s reckless decisions to approve and deregulate chemical abortion drugs put the profits and political agenda of the abortion industry over the law and abundant evidence that abortion drugs present harm to women, girls, and their unborn babies,” the brief stated. …

Our Father in Heaven, Look down with mercy on these women who think abortion is the answer to their situation, and turn their hearts to You and to the beautiful and precious little child that is growing within them. These woman were looking for love but nobody will ever love them more than the child whose precious life they are willing to spare. Wonderful Lord Jesus, please give them dreams and visions of the future with their little baby whom they are carrying right now. In Jesus Name, Amen.
FATHER GOD please let these abortion pills be outlawed! Let the court side with ADF in this case in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Father, I look to you for deliverance from the abortion pill. It not only kills the child, but does harm to the woman. I pray this judge would be used by you to take this pill down. In Jesus’ name.
I am a pharmacist, and I have long been concerned about the FDA’s approval of this abortive drug regimen. Prescribing these drugs to pregnant patients is a clear violation of the doctor’s Hippocratic Oath, and filling such prescriptions is a violation of the Oath of Maimonides taken by pharmacists. Yet, this is occurring because of an idealogically-motivated FDA approval process.
I pray that truth prevails in these hearings, and that God protects Judge Kacsmaryk and the attorneys who try this landmark case.
