SAINT LOUIS, Mo., March 16, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — On Monday morning, March 16th at 9:30am, national and local anti-abortion activists and leaders including Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), Reach Reproductive Health, Rescue Resurrection, Secular Pro-Life, and more will gather outside Senator Josh Hawley’s Saint Louis office in support of his newly introduced bill, “Safeguarding Women Against from Chemical Abortion Act.” (Presidential Candidates Randall Terry and Terrisa Bukovinac will be leading the event.)
This bill, if passed, would ban the distribution of Mifepristone for abortion.
The timing of Hawley’s bill highlights the Trump Administration’s negligence.
Senator Hawley introduced the legislation concurrently with the Trump administration’s efforts in court to protect the Biden era deregulations of the drug. These deregulations have culminated in a national abortion rate that is significantly higher than in the years prior to the overturn of Roe v Wade. Both Health and Human Services (HHS), Congress, and Trump, have the power to end it.
Pro-life leaders and organizations have begun to openly criticize the Trump Administration’s failure to protect unborn human life.
Senator Hawley’s timing and action reflect pro-life sentiment from Trump’s base, key voters who will matter in the midterms. Support for this bill from Republican members of Congress with constituents who hold life-affirming values will be critical in bringing out the pro-life vote.
Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue states: “If this bill fails, it will be due to the betrayal of elected Republicans who claim to be pro-life. Now is when integrity and courage on behalf of babies and mothers is most needed. What could be more important than ending this chemical genocide?”
Terrisa Bukovinac, Founder of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) states: “The Trump administration has babies’ blood on their hands. We are calling on congressional members on the right and the left to get behind Senator Hawley’s bill, stand up to the pro-abortion wing of the GOP, and end the abortion Industrial complex’s efforts to dispense genocidal drugs to the American people. Women deserve better and so do the unborn.”
Levi Hart, CEO, Reach Reproductive Health states: “Thank you Senator Hawley for proposing this crucial bill to revoke the FDA’s approval of mifepristone. Too many women have faced serious complications and traumatic experiences from chemical abortion, and this legislation is an important step toward protecting women’s health and safety.”
Monica Snyder, Executive Director of Secular Pro-Life states: “We’re grateful to see activity at the federal level. The expansion of shield laws and the refusal of pro-choice states to respect the laws of pro-life states underscores the continued need for federal action on this issue.”
John Ryan, of Defenders of the Unborn, states: “While we categorically condemn the chemical warfare targeting human beings in the womb euphemistically called ‘abortion pills’ for what they do to their intended victims, we are appalled by the collateral damage these weapons have posed to the mothers of these victims. Women are treated as acceptable losses by abortionists’ and their supporters in their war on the most endangered human beings on the planet- human beings in the first 9 months of their lives. This bill will end the massive coverup (including denying mothers wounded by such malpractice the right to sue their perpetrators- which will also be reversed by Hawley’s bill) that has treated such butchered mothers as lab rats for the billion-dollar abortion industry.”
