(August 26, 2025 – Fredericksburg, Virginia) – American Life League, one of America’s leading pro-life organizations, has issued a powerful letter to Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, calling for the criminalization of abortion pills to protect preborn lives, women’s health, and the dignity of human life. The letter, penned by ALL national director Katie Brown Xavios, addresses the alarming rise in illegal abortion pill distribution and commends Paxton’s recent efforts to combat this crisis.
The letter highlights findings from ALL’s 2024 report entitled Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel, which reveals how abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood and networks like Plan C, operate akin to drug cartels by circumventing state laws to illegally distribute abortion pills. These organizations not only supply dangerous drugs without regard for women’s mental or physical health, but they also provide guidance on concealing abortions from medical professionals and families.
ALL’s latest report on Planned Parenthood in “pro-life” states further exposes that the organization’s affiliates generate millions in revenue, with 29 Texas facilities alone contributing to a combined annual total of $130,834,049, despite state abortion restrictions. This underscores the need for stronger action to dismantle the illegal abortion pill networks.
“We fully support Attorney General Paxton’s courageous efforts and urge him to outlaw these deadly drugs to protect the most vulnerable,” said Katie Brown Xavios. “For far too long, abortion networks have skirted state laws to carry out illegal distribution of these pills, and women and their babies pay the price every time. It is time for these criminal abortion rings to be held accountable.”
American Life League’s letter emphasizes that mere restrictions on abortion pills are insufficient and that criminalization is necessary to uphold the sanctity of life and ensure justice. The organization has also extended an offer to collaborate with Paxton’s office to advance this critical fight.
