Blue state shield laws allowed 330K abortion pills to be sent to abortion ban states, pro-life group finds

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: A pro-life group has released a new report marking the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, finding that nearly 330,000 abortion pills have been shipped to states with abortion restrictions since the summer of 2023 under the protection of blue state shield laws, which the report says enabled abortion numbers in several conservative states to remain at or above pre-Dobbs levels.
In the report obtained by Fox News Digital, the Restoration of America Foundation (ROAF) said more than 328,000 abortion pills have been sent into states with abortion restrictions from out-of-state between July 2023 and December 2025, citing the Society of Family Planning’s #WeCount data project. According to the report, monthly shipments of chemical abortion pills into pro-life states nearly tripled during that period, jumping from 5,400 pills sent in July 2023 to 14,870 in December 2025.
The report concluded that out-of-state abortion providers send nearly 15,000 chemical abortion pills per month to states with abortion restrictions.
This comes after the nation’s highest court overturned the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, returning the power to make laws on abortion access back to the states.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, ROAF CEO Doug Truax said the Biden administration eased safety standards for abortion medication and «pro-death» Democrats adopted shield laws to protect providers in blue states from being prosecuted by red state governments.
«Years ago, the pro-death Biden administration and the pro-death Democrat Party writ large … they knew what we knew: that Roe was bad law, and it was going to go,» he said. «And so they started thinking ahead of what they’re going to do here.»
Truax accused the Biden administration of loosening safety standards around Mifepristone – «the abortion pill.»
«It used to be that you had to go see a doctor to get it. They took that off and said you could just get it through the mail,» Truax said.
«The second thing was the pro-death blue states started implementing the shield laws, which is the focus of the paper that we’ve got out now, which are basically the laws that prevent people in red states from going after the people in the blue states that are sending the abortion pills into the red states,» Truax said.
He argued that the U.S. is «worse off than we were from a numbers standpoint.»
«So they’ve set up an apparatus here that enables them to keep pushing more and more abortions on everybody around the country in spite of it … It’s just created this basically constitutional disorder with all these states doing whatever they want and being able to get away with it because of the shield laws.»
Despite Roe v. Wade being overturned four years ago, nine states with abortion restrictions — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota and Texas — recorded more monthly abortions in 2025 than they did in 2022 before the court’s decision.
Republican leaders in states such as Texas and Louisiana have attempted to pursue legal action against out-of-state abortion providers, although efforts to extradite providers have been unsuccessful after governors in states like California and New York stepped in.

«The data now shows that mail-order abortion is overwhelming the ability of states to protect unborn life,» the ROAF report reads.
The report argues that while Republican state officials have struggled in efforts to pursue abortion providers in other states, the Trump administration can take immediate federal action to reduce the shipments of abortion pills into states with abortion restrictions by reversing Biden-era changes to FDA regulations that allowed abortion pills to be prescribed through telehealth and delivered by mail.
It also calls on the Justice Department to rescind the Biden-era memorandum on the Comstock Act and enforce existing federal laws governing the mailing of abortion drugs.
«While the success of state attempts in escalating court cases is uncertain, Trump Administration officials can act now to prevent online providers from sending dangerous abortion pills into every state,» the report reads.
Truax even stressed that President Donald Trump, who has claimed to be the most pro-life president in U.S. history, could end up as the «most pro-death president» if he fails to make changes to stop the flow of abortion pills to conservative states across the country.
«President Trump has said repeatedly he’s going to be the most pro-life president ever. Well, that’s in serious jeopardy right now. We have got a situation where the number of abortions is going up, up, up. And on this trend line, if nothing changes, he’s going to go out as the most pro-death president we’ve ever had because of the way this is trending. So we’re trying to help [the administration] understand this and say we’ve got to make some changes,» he said.
«We’re all about no more abortions. But if you get to a place where it’s back to the states, at least the red states have got the ability now going forward to do what they want and do what the people in their state want their state to do, but that’s not what’s happening. So it’s creating constitutional disorder. We have to say, what’s the point of a state law if it’s not enforced in any way? Some other state can basically just come in and just be completely lawless and do whatever they want in your state, even though you’ve got the state law that says they can’t do that, but they’re still doing it and nobody’s stopping them,» Truax added.
BLUE STATE’S ABORTION-PILL SHIELD LAW HARMS WOMEN BY DEPRIVING FOLLOW-UP CARE, PRO-LIFE DOCS SAY

The report says that 22 states and Washington, D.C., have adopted some form of abortion shield law, including eight states explicitly protecting providers who prescribe abortion medication through telehealth to patients in states with abortion restrictions.

In 2025, #WeCount identified 169,000 abortions provided under shield laws to states with restrictive laws.
«If pro-life states have no power to protect their women and babies from rogue abortionists thousands of miles away, the situation they find themselves in is not better than before the Dobbs decision—it’s worse. For the sake of our constitutional order, to say nothing of the women and babies in peril, Trump Administration officials must act swiftly and decisively to end interstate mail-order abortion,» the report concludes.

Ex-Dem fundraiser torches Biden as book launch implodes: ‘No one wants to read’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Lindy Li, a former top Democratic fundraiser, believes President Joe Biden is only doing himself a disservice by promising the public another explanation of why he decided to run for re-election in 2024 despite mounting concerns about his age and cognitive performance.
In her view, Biden’s upcoming memoir, «Promise Me, America,» will only serve to reopen painful wounds that Democrats have struggled to move past since the 2024 election loss. In a way, she believes the book is a bit of a microcosm of Biden’s presidency.
«They’re thinking, ‘Why can’t you just shut the f— up?’ Prior to me leaving the party, they wanted nothing to do with this guy. It was so bad that when, finally, Biden exited on July 21, there was no goodbye party other than a staffer one in the Rose Garden. There was nothing,» Li said.
«Jill has him writing books that no one wants to read instead of fully enjoying his retirement,» Li said, referring to Jill Biden, the former first lady.

«Just like she had him out running for president — a presidency that no one wanted, not even Democrats — instead of enjoying his retirement. He should have been in retirement 10, 20 years ago, but they need the money.»
Biden described his upcoming book in a post to X Wednesday morning.
«It’s about the challenges we face as a nation. About the decisions I made and why I made them,» Biden said, igniting mockery on social media. «It’s about why I chose to run for reelection and why I chose to step aside.»
«The first lie of Joe Biden’s book launch: ‘I’ve written a book,’» conservative communicator Steve Guest wrote.
«Joe Biden couldn’t sign his own pardons. Now he’s ‘written’ a book, which Democrats forced him to release after the midterms so he wouldn’t be in the news to remind people how bad he was,» wrote Outkick founder Clay Travis. «Who in the world is buying this book?»
«Who do we think wrote this book,» Daily Wire editor-in-chief Brent Scher wondered.
«Did the autopen write this too,» Missouri Republican Rep. Jason Smith questioned.
Li, who is publishing a new book of her own, «Unburdened,» later this year, was privy to many of the party’s internal discussions, research and panic behind the scenes, which indicated Biden enjoyed only shaky support even among his own camp long before he ultimately dropped out of the 2024 election.

In light of what she knows, Li doubts there is a way for Biden to spin his exit that won’t do further harm to his own image, an image his campaign went to great lengths to protect.
Li recalled how the Biden campaign confiscated her phone at a 2023 event.
«The [Democratic National Committee] was routinely confiscating the phones of top donors with social media followings,» Li said, referring to a party fundraising and campaign group.
«They took away my phone because they knew I was a prolific tweeter. And I posted something on Instagram that night, and a finance director from the DNC called me at around 10 or 11 that same night to instruct me to delete everything from Instagram about Biden that I posted that day.
«The reason is because [Biden] seemed infirm. He seemed weak.»

Now on this side of his presidency, Li believes he will further aggravate Democrats who have wanted to move past the 2024 election and reignite questions of why Biden wasn’t asked to step aside sooner.
«It’s very clear they were trying to hide the fact that instead of having a candidate they could be proud of, they were busy hiding a candidate that they were deeply ashamed of,» she added.

WATCH: Russian soldier thrown through air as Soviet-era helicopter gun spins out of control

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to reach an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, even as Moscow warned Wednesday that Western troops deployed to enforce any eventual peace deal would become Russian military targets.
«I say, ‘Vladimir, it’s time for you to stop. It’s time for this war to end,’» Trump told Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst in an interview released Tuesday.
Trump said he believed Putin was «ready to make a deal» to end the fighting.

Meanwhile, fighting continued across Ukraine and Russian-occupied territory.
The intensifying drone war has forced both militaries to search for additional ways to intercept unmanned aircraft, sometimes using weapons designed decades before modern drones emerged.
A video supplied by East2West shows a Russian soldier apparently losing control of a Soviet-era YakB-12.7 rotary machine gun mounted on an improvised ground platform.

The weapon begins spinning violently, dragging the service member around before throwing him several yards from the mounting. Another soldier ducks as the gun swings in his direction.
East2West reported that no one was injured, though Fox News Digital has not independently verified the location, date or circumstances of the footage.
The four-barrel machine gun was originally developed for use aboard the Soviet-designed Mi-24 Hind attack helicopter. Russian forces have reportedly attempted to repurpose such weapons as ground-based defenses against Ukrainian drones, East2West news reported.

On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said any multinational force deployed by Ukraine’s allies after a ceasefire would be unacceptable to Moscow.
«We would regard such units as legitimate military targets,» Zakharova said, according to a Reuters report published Wednesday.
Members of the Western «coalition of the willing» reaffirmed at a meeting in Paris this week that they intend to deploy a multinational force after hostilities end. The proposed force would seek to reassure Ukraine and help Kyiv rebuild its military.

Ukraine’s military said Wednesday that its forces struck the Balaklava thermal power station in Russian-occupied Crimea, a facility that accounts for nearly half of the peninsula’s electricity generation, according to Reuters.
Russia, meanwhile, launched another major drone and missile attack against Ukraine’s southern Odesa region, killing three people, regional Governor Oleh Kiper said. He said civilian, industrial and port infrastructure had been targeted during five consecutive days of Russian attacks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said Wednesday that Ukraine expects to develop the technical capability to manufacture missiles for U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems by the end of 2026.
