Dr. Albert Mohler: Court Blocks Abortion-by-Mail—A Win for Life?

A federal appeals court has dealt a major blow to the Biden administration’s abortion pill policy. In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that allowing abortion pills to be prescribed via telehealth and delivered by mail failed to adequately protect women’s health.

This ruling comes in the wake of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned abortion laws to the states. Despite a drop in surgical abortions, total abortion numbers have remained steady—largely due to the widespread use of chemical abortion pills.

In this video, Dr. Mohler breaks down:

• What the court actually ruled and why it matters
• How mail-order abortion pills reshaped the abortion landscape
• The growing legal and political battle over mifepristone
• The deeper worldview clash driving the abortion debate

With the case likely heading to the U.S. Supreme Court, the future of abortion policy—and the role of federal oversight—is far from settled.
