In This Issue: The FDA, under Trump appointee Dr. Marty Makary, has approved new generic abortion pills made by Evita Solution, a company that openly seeks to “normalize abortion” and make it “accessible to all.” Despite promises of a full safety review of the chemical abortion drug, the FDA instead fast-tracked approval, prompting outrage from U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley.

In This Issue: Denmark has formally apologized for decades of secretly inserting intrauterine devices (IUDs) into Greenlandic women and girls—some as young as 12—without their knowledge or consent.

Victims later faced infertility, trauma, and lifelong health complications.

In This Issue: For the first time in 80 years, France recorded more deaths than births in 2024—651,000 deaths versus 650,000 births—marking a historic demographic turning point.

In This Issue: A 19-year-old woman from Ontario died just 10 days after taking the abortion pill, after going into septic shock.

In This Issue: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed a series of sweeping pro-abortion bills, further cementing the state as one of the most radical abortion havens in America. One new law ensures abortion pills remain legal in Illinois as long as they are approved by the World Health Organization—even if the FDA revokes U.S. approval. Another mandates that public colleges and universities distribute abortion pills on campus, encouraging young women to undergo chemical abortions alone in dorm rooms without physician oversight.

In This Issue: Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in an effort to block the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

At the same time, abortions have reached a record high of over 402,000—up 2.5% from the previous year—while taxpayer funding has soared to $792.2 million, a 13% increase.
