The report, "Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel," was published following the League seeing reports that chemically induced abortions in the U.S. – administered by women at home through the use of drugs with the chemicals mifepristone and misoprostol – have risen since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
In March 2024, the Guttmacher Institute reported that chemically induced abortions accounted for 63 percent of all abortions performed in the United States. The institute's report indicates that more than 642,000 abortions in the U.S. were performed in this manner. (Related: REPORT: 63% of all abortions in 2023 were carried out using pills.)
American Life League National Director Katie Brown indicated that the "astonishing rate" of increased access to abortion drugs is the fault of the Food and Drug Administration, which in 2023 approved the shipping of abortifacient drugs without the need for in-person consultations.
"It's clear that the FDA has dropped the ball on this. As the government agency charged with oversight of drugs coming into this country, they have failed," said Brown. "And where is the [USPS]? The post office is supposed to screen packages for illegal items, yet black market abortion drugs are being mailed into every state."
The League's report indicates that one Mexican cartel in particular, known as Las Libres, is responsible for the majority of the black market abortion pills being sold in the United States.
According to the report, Las Libres has been freely marketing its unregulated, non-prescribed abortion drugs over the internet to unverified customers – with the drugs similarly coming from unvalidated suppliers not authorized by the FDA to sell abortifacient pills. There is no kind of oversight over the quality or purity of the drugs, nor the suitability of the recipients.
Through its websites, Las Libres encourages women to use encrypted email services like Proton Mail to inquire about how to purchase abortion pills. Las Libres then sends instructions through these emails, including asking women to provide their full names and the dates of their last menstrual periods. Las Libres also states in these instruction emails that "No other information is needed. You will receive further instructions for how to order."
In addition to advising women how to hide their online abortion pill requests, Las Libres explicitly tells these women to lie to their doctors if they end up botching their home abortions, providing guides for how to "hide their abortion if they are experiencing excessive bleeding and need medical attention."
"These unsupervised procedures – self-administered without continuing medical oversight – are incredibly traumatic and dangerous to women," said Brown. "Even legitimately distributed abortion pills come with an FDA-boxed warning about potentially fatal infections."
"The Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care reports that many women who have taken these drugs report extreme stress and trauma caused by expelling their dead baby's body at home, alone, after days of nausea, severe cramping and bleeding," continued Brown. "The FDA and USPS should care enough to intervene in this illegal importing of the dangerous DIY abortion drugs."
