Abortion militant Jessica Valenti’s excusatory essay on the alleged wonderfulness of chemical (“medication”) abortions is worth analyzing. Her piece, which ran yesterday in the New York Times , carried the unintentionally self-condemning headline, “ The Anti-Abortion Movement Can’t Use This Myth Anymore” [www.nytimes.com/2021/05/13/opinion/abortion-pill-fda-covid.html]
Briefly, the gist of the argument from “the author of six books on feminism” is that, thankfully, we’ve reached the expiration date on the “excuse” that pro-lifers (and others) have used to require women to make an in-person visit to receive the first of two drugs (mifepristone) that make up chemical abortion technique.
Why? (All together) Because chemical abortion are proven to be safe, safe, safe. We’ll get back to this myth—and it is a myth– in a moment.
To be sure, such protective requirements are, in a FDA under the thumb of the Biden-Harris administration, about to vanish—and in Valenti’s view, none too soon. She begins Last month , the [Biden-Harris] Food and Drug Administration announced that people [aka women] seeking abortion pills during the Covid-19 pandemic will no longer have to visit a doctor’s office to get a prescription. Under the Trump administration, patients were required to receive the first of the medication’s two doses in person, a mandate upheld by the Supreme Court in January . The new policy instead allows for telemedicine consultations and pills sent by mail. This, Valenti opines could also be a huge blow to the anti-abortion movement. Groups like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have been pushing the Biden administration to make the F.D.A.’s decision permanent. Last week, in a legal filing , the agency announced it was reviewing their restrictions on the medication. And, of course, if abortion is safe, safe, safe and an in-person visit is no more than an unnecessary annoyance, we can expect the FDA will make the decision permanent. If there is “collateral damage”—additional deaths and serious complications—a small price to pay, no?
She makes a number of polemical points in her guest op-ed. For starters, pro-lifers (of course) only fake concern for abortion-minded women. Tell that to the 2,700 pregnancy help centers or to […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
