Abortions are no longer between a woman and her doctor in Alaska.
On Tuesday, Alaska Superior Court Judge Josie Garton issued a preliminary injunction blocking a state law that requires abortions to be done by licensed physicians, Alaska Public Media reports .
The ruling means that, at least temporarily, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and midwives may provide chemical, or drug-induced, abortions in Alaska. Surgical abortions still must be done by licensed physicians.
The judge’s order was the result of a lawsuit that Planned Parenthood filed in 2019 to challenge the state health law . The abortion chain claims the law is “without medical justification,” but pro-life leaders said it protects women from unsafe abortions.

Currently, 37 states require abortions to be performed by a licensed physician, according to the Guttmacher Institute. However, the number used to be higher.
Other state laws are targets of similar lawsuits, including Idaho and Wisconsin. Maine also faced a lawsuit, but pro-abortion state lawmakers passed a law in 2019 to allow nurse practitioners and physician assistants to abort unborn babies.

In 2015, California also passed a law allowing non-doctors to abort unborn babies. These laws have put countless women and their unborn babies at risk. One study found that abortions done by non-physicians were twice as likely to have complications as those done by licensed physicians.
Despite the risks, Hawaii passed a similar law earlier this year , allowing advanced practice registered nurses to do first-trimester abortions either with abortion drugs or by the surgical aspiration method.Allowing nurses to abort unborn babies is one of the ways the abortion industry hopes to prop up its life-destroying business. Abortion rates are dropping and abortion clinics have been closing, in part, because fewer doctors are willing to abort unborn babies.According to the Guttmacher Institute, in 1982, there were 2,918 abortion doctors practicing in America, but by 2011, there were only 1,720. A number of abortion clinics also have closed in the past few years because abortionists retired and no one was willing to take their places, according to a 2016 Bloomberg study.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
