Recently, I was discussing Louisiana v. FDA—the pro-life case now before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals—with Laura Allred of A Million Women. In our conversation, Laura shared a vital insight into what this case is really about.
In the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned in June 2022, the Biden Administration made a devastating move. In January 2023, the FDA permanently removed the in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone—making abortion drugs available by mail across the country.
This set the stage for the conflict now before the court in Louisiana v. FDA. Louisiana banned abortion after Roe was overturned, yet abortion drugs can now be shipped through the mail into states where abortion is prohibited.
This is the most significant pro-life case since Dobbs. Mail-order mifepristone (also known as RU-486) is one of the most critical fields of engagement right now for everyone who cares about defending life in the womb and protecting women.
As Laura pondered the case, she declared: “Mail-order Mifepristone is death on delivery.”
What a statement. And it’s spot on. Let’s not mince words or diminish what this is really about. Abortion has gained access to our homes.
As I began praying over this, Jeremiah 9 took on a whole new relevance. God calls for the wailing women to come and weep over the nation. Why? Verses 20–21 make it clear—and the words are striking in light of what is happening today:
Hear, O women, the word of the Lord, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; teach to your daughters a lament, and each to her neighbor a dirge. For death has come up into our windows; it has entered our palaces, cutting off the children from the streets and the young men from the squares. (Jeremiah 9:20-21)
Then the thought hit me: Death has come into our homes too—through our mailboxes.
Most people do not yet understand that this case is happening—or what is at stake. That’s why we must gather for prayer and intercession now.
You are invited—no, summoned—to gather with us in New Orleans for All To The Wall, September 5–7, as we contend in prayer for the pro-life case now before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Join Lou Engle, Laura Allred, me, and many others as we contend for LIFE in our nation.
