Former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson testified Tuesday before the Texas Senate in Austin on behalf of legislation that would further regulate abortion-causing drugs, such as RU486. The measure, HB 3408 and SB1790, was inspired by model legislation developed by Americans United for Life and sponsored by Rep. Jodie Laubenberg and Sen. Dan Patrick.
Abortion-causing drugs have been a growing part of Planned Parenthood’s business model.
AUL President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest noted, “Women and girls are increasingly vulnerable to dangerous drugs cavalierly distributed in ways that the drug manufacturers do not advise. This kind of off-label drug use can have deadly consequences.”
The bill before the Senate would regulate the dispensing of abortion inducing drugs and would require that they can only be dispensed in accordance with the FDA drug label. It would also require that a physician do a physical examination of the woman before prescribing the sometimes-deadly drugs.
Now a pro-life heroine, Abby Johnson addressed the legislation both from her professional experience running a Texas abortion clinic and from her personal life story, having gone through an RU486 abortion herself.
