WASHINGTON — A Planned Parenthood affiliate announced they will be offering free chemical abortions at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

The following is a statement from Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life:

It’s disgusting that Planned Parenthood will be on hand at the Democratic National Convention to do chemical abortions. Each chemical abortion ends the life of an unborn child and puts her mother’s life at risk. 

Even the Food and Drug Administration admits that these drugs will fail or lead to complications for a number of women. When hundreds of thousands of women each year take these pills, even a couple of percentage points of women hemorrhaging, dealing with infections, or facing ectopic pregnancies means thousands of women desperately seeking emergency treatment, which may or may not be nearby. 

Planned Parenthood’s priority is abortion—anytime, anywhere, and for any reason—regardless of the lives lost. 

Planned Parenthood’s presence at the Democratic National Convention isn’t surprising. The Democratic Party’s fanatical support of unlimited abortion is a core part of their agenda and killing babies and endangering women’s lives is crucial to the party’s identity. 

Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. NRLC works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide assisted suicide, and euthanasia.
