(The Daily Signal)—Pro-life doctors are urging the Food and Drug Administration to reinstate abortion pill guardrails stripped during the Biden administration. Four years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion rates are higher than ever because these safeguards are no longer in place.
It’s not just babies dying from abortions; mothers’ lives are at risk from the FDA-approved abortion pill mifepristone.
In a letter obtained by The Daily Signal, four doctors, representing tens of thousands of pro-life medical professionals from across the country, urge Acting Commissioner of the FDA Kyle Diamantas to reinstate the in-person dispensing requirement once needed to get a prescription for the abortion pill. During COVID, the Biden administration stripped this requirement, leading to a “public health crisis.”
New data shows that serious complication rates are far higher than previously disclosed on FDA labeling. Life-threatening complications include hemorrhage, sepsis, and incomplete abortions requiring surgical intervention.
“We are grateful to see a full safety review has been launched, and simultaneously with this review being conducted, ask that the in-person dispensing requirement be immediately reinstated,” reads the letter. “With your ascendence into the role of Acting Commissioner of the FDA, we urge you to protect American women and undo the FDA’s previous devastating actions.”
Diamantas has received support from pro-life groups. Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins told The Daily Signal that Diamantas promised he will be the “most pro-life FDA commissioner that the FDA has ever had.”
Within hours of his recent FDA appointment, he called Live Action President Lila Rose and told her “reviewing the abortion pill is a top priority for him and the administration,” Rose said on X.
He was appointed over a month ago but has made little news on the promise.
The letter continues, asking Diamantas to require doctors report all “adverse events” of mifepristone, include a comprehensive evaluation of real-world safety data in the safety review of the drug, ensure the safety review is unbiased, and require ultrasounds to confirm gestational age.
Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), recently released an exposé video revealing the medical risks of ordering abortion pills online and the medical risks that follow. She says that they “found no medical oversight whatsoever.”
According to the letter, signed by Francis; Dr. Greg Burke, the vice president of the Catholic Medical Association; Dr. Mike Chupp, CEO of the Christian Medical and Dental Association; and Dr. Mike Artigues, president of the American College of Pediatricians, mifepristone is a life-threatening drug that often causes serious complications.
Between 2017 and 2023, more than 860,000 adverse events came after 45 days of using mifepristone. Of the adverse events, more than 10% experienced severe complications, including infection, hemorrhage, surgical intervention, or undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy.
Based on their research, and the lack of safety reviews conducted on mifepristone, the risks surrounding the “safer than Tylenol” drug are 22 times higher than previously disclosed.
“Such blatant disregard for the health and safety of women and willful ignorance of what is occurring in emergency departments across the country undermines informed consent and public trust,” reads the letter. “Claims that mifepristone is ‘safer than Tylenol’ are not only scientifically unfounded but also violate FDA guidelines on comparative safety claims.”
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
