Abortion-related safety concerns only seem to spring up when the Democratic Party speaks about the anti-abortion option. In fact, pro-abortion figures act quite in favor of unsafe courses in the name of women’s choice — so why the opposition to an abortion pill reversal?
The only plausible answer is that the procedure works against the Democratic agenda. This election season, the party has promoted its hedonistic goals by framing them around women’s rights, rooted in women’s health. The Democratic National Convention poured money into promotional material, such as condoms and signs encouraging casual sex, that might gain the youth vote, while its public arguments revolved around anecdotes of miscarriages gone wrong.
Clearly, Vice President Kamala Harris’s compassionate rhetoric is a facade for her party’s very simple aims of securing the female voting bloc and furthering its short-sighted version of freedom.
It is on par, then, for the Biden-Harris administration to have proposed a rule forcing insurance companies to cover over-the-counter contraceptives. These include birth control pills, which by now are well known to have many physical and psychological side effects. Women on the pill are “masculinized,” depressed, and face high risks of conditions such as blood clots.
The route is similar for chemical abortion pills, which involve serious health and safety risks, sometimes killing the women who take them. Nonetheless, Democratic lawmakers try to expand access to abortion pills, even toward delivery of the pills by mail.
It should be obvious that the negative effects of birth control and abortion pills outweigh any subjective benefits they might offer. But the Democratic Party, which dominates in cultural influence, pushes the medications as the greatest invention of modern times.
If that cultural influence sees no harm in these pills for the sake of women’s liberation, one might think the Democratic Party has no grounds for opposition to abortion pill reversals. Support would represent the epitome of being pro-choice through and through, much like the expectation that pro-lifers are pro-life for all of life. Women who wanted to reverse their abortions would be lauded for defying expected outcomes, independent of dominant messaging.
Instead, Democrats cling to claims that abortion pill reversal is underresearched and unsafe. Some, as in Colorado, have proposed banning mere advertisement of the procedure. Others call it a “scam.”

What gives? If safety concerns appear unlikely to be the true motivator of opposition, there must be some unifying principle to make up for the contradiction. It cannot be about quiet respect for a woman’s previous choice to seek abortion: There is nothing left of the gravity that once surrounded the matter. Meanwhile, Democrats offer no pushback to the use of naloxone, the rapid drug overdose reversal medication. It is even stocked in high schools across the country.
The careful through-line is the desire to be free from consequence. Abortion and birth control pills attempt to prevent pregnancy, a consequence of unruly sexual behavior. Naloxone, while immediately life-saving, permits a sort of “safe” overdosing mechanism. There really is no other conclusion but that the Democratic Party fully devalues the lives of children in favor of the debauched life. The party’s short-sightedness has to catch up with it at some point, however, and it is leaving itself no room for backtracking.
