EWTN News portal reports that the FDA is conducting a safety investigation into mifepristone, the chemical abortion pill used in the majority of abortions in the United States. A senior FDA official stated the study has been ongoing for months and is expected to conclude in July 2026. Pro-life groups, while acknowledging this step, are calling for further action, including the reinstatement of in-person dispensation requirements and the settlement of a related case to end mail-order abortion drugs. The article highlights that a 2025 study found 1 in 10 women experience serious adverse events, and that reporting requirements for complications were loosened in 2016. This report, framed as a public health and regulatory issue, is in reality a symptom of a civilization that has legally codified the worship of Moloch and systematically murders its own children while cloaking the massacre in the language of safety and choice.
The Idolatry of “Choice” and the Silence on Divine Law
The article’s entire framework is built upon a foundation of pagan idolatry, where the “right” of a woman to “choose” the death of her child is placed above the immutable Law of God. The Fifth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13), is absolute and admits of no exception for convenience, economic hardship, or personal autonomy. The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches that “the murderer is accursed of God” and that “the civil magistrate is also God’s minister, to execute wrath upon him that doth evil” (Romans 13:4). Yet, the article discusses the regulation of this instrument of death as if it were a mere pharmaceutical product, like aspirin, rather than a sacrament of the culture of death. The language of “safety review,” “adverse events,” and “Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy” (REMS) is the bureaucratic lexicon of a society that has lost the ability to name evil for what it is. It discusses the instrument of a crime against nature with the detached tone of a consumer safety report, thereby normalizing the intrinsically disordered act. As Pope Pius XI declared in *Casti Connubii*, “any use whatsoever of matrimony exercised in such a way that the act is deliberately frustrated in its natural power to generate life is an offense against the law of God and of nature, and those who indulge in such are branded with the guilt of a grave sin.” The chemical abortion pill is the ultimate frustration of the natural power of the woman’s own body, turning it into a tomb.
The Heresy of Indifferentism and the “Pro-Life” Facade
The article quotes representatives of so-called “pro-life” groups, such as National Right to Life and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. While they are correct in opposing the evil of abortion, their methodology and ultimate goals are often infected with the heresy of indifferentism and the spirit of modern democracy. They operate within the framework of the secular state, seeking regulation rather than absolute prohibition, and using the language of political advocacy rather than prophetic denunciation. Carol Tobias is quoted saying, “We are happy that the FDA is looking into the so-called safety of abortion pills.” This statement reveals a fundamental error: the primary evil of abortion is not that it is “unsafe” for the mother, but that it is the unjust killing of an innocent human being. To argue primarily on the grounds of women’s health is to accept the premise that if the procedure were perfectly safe, it would be acceptable. This is a utilitarian and naturalist argument, not a Catholic one. The Church teaches that the right to life of the child is inviolable, regardless of the physical consequences for the mother. The “pro-life” movement, by and large, has failed to ground its argument in the fullness of Catholic truth, namely, that the state has a divine obligation to protect the innocent and punish the guilty, and that any law permitting abortion is an unjust law that binds no one in conscience. As Pope Leo XIII taught in *Immortale Dei*, “the State is bound to act in accordance with the dictates of natural and divine law,” and “to neglect or to reject the authority of God in public affairs is to undermine the very foundations of society.”
The Apostasy of the Clergy and the Silence of the Hierarchy
The most glaring and damning omission in this article is the complete absence of any mention of the Catholic Church’s teaching, the sacraments, or the authority of the true pastors of souls. There is no reference to the automatic excommunication incurred by those who procure an abortion (Canon 2350 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law). There is no call for repentance, no mention of the Sacrament of Penance, and no warning that those who cooperate in this sin risk eternal damnation. The “bishops” and “priests” of the conciliar sect are, for the most part, either silent on this issue or actively complicit in it by their refusal to deny Communion to pro-abortion politicians, a scandal that has been ongoing for decades. This silence is a direct result of the apostasy that has infected the upper echelons of the post-conciliar structure since the time of John XXIII. The “enemies within,” warned of by St. Pius X in *Pascendi Dominici Gregis*, have triumphed. They have substituted the supernatural mission of the Church—to save souls—with a naturalistic agenda of social justice and dialogue with the world. The article, by relying solely on secular pro-life groups and government agencies, implicitly accepts the premise that the Church has no unique or authoritative voice on this matter. This is the fruit of the false ecumenism and religious liberty condemned by Pope Pius IX in the *Syllabus of Errors*, which holds that the Church “has not the power of defining dogmatically that the religion of the Catholic Church is the only true religion” (Proposition 21).
The Masonic State and the Cult of Man
The entire political and legal framework described in the article is a product of the Masonic and secularist revolution that has sought to dethrone Christ the King. The FDA, the Trump administration, the Supreme Court—all are institutions of a state that has formally or informally rejected the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical *Quas Primas*, instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the “secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors.” He wrote, “If men were ever to recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, both privately and publicly, then unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society, such as due freedom, order, and tranquility, and concord and peace.” The abortion pandemic is the direct and logical consequence of the rejection of Christ’s kingship. When the state derives its authority from “the people” rather than from God, it inevitably becomes an instrument of the tyranny of the majority, legalizing whatever sin is popular at the moment. The article’s discussion of court cases and political settlements is a discussion of the machinery of a state that is, at its foundation, hostile to the natural law and the divine positive law. The “pro-life” movement’s hope that this state can be persuaded to restrict abortion is a forlorn hope, as the state’s very legitimacy is built upon the principle of popular sovereignty, which is inherently opposed to the absolute and unchanging law of God.
The Corruption of Science and the Myth of “Safe” Killing
The article cites a “2025 study” claiming that “1 in 10 women experience serious adverse events.” This is presented as a new and alarming finding. However, this is a classic example of corrupt science in service of a pre-determined agenda. The true “adverse event” is the death of a human being. The focus on the physical health of the mother is a deliberate distraction from the ontological reality of the act. Furthermore, the article notes that “studies often have difficult estimating the exact number of adverse effects due to loose reporting requirements.” This is a tacit admission that the entire medical establishment is complicit in a massive cover-up, a conspiracy of silence designed to protect the abortion industry. This is the same medical establishment that promotes contraception, in vitro fertilization, and euthanasia. It is a priesthood of the new religion of scientism, which holds that man is the measure of all things and that technology can solve the problems created by sin. The idea that a “science-based safety review” can make an intrinsically evil act more acceptable is a blasphemous parody of the true purpose of science, which is to understand and obey the laws of God as manifested in nature.
Conclusion: The Only True Remedy
The FDA investigation, the political maneuvering, the advocacy of secular pro-life groups—all of this is a distraction from the only true remedy for the abortion plague: the conversion of society to Jesus Christ and the recognition of His social kingship. As long as individuals, families, and states refuse to submit to the law of God, they will continue to seek solutions in the corrupt and bloody hands of the secular state. The true Church, which endures in the faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith and are led by bishops with valid sacraments, alone possesses the remedy: the grace of the sacraments, the preaching of the fullness of truth, and the uncompromising demand for repentance and conversion. The article, by its very structure and omissions, demonstrates the spiritual bankruptcy of the modern world. It is a world that can discuss the “safety” of a tool of death but cannot speak of the horror of sin, the reality of hell, or the infinite mercy of God available to all who truly repent. Until the public laws and institutions of nations are conformed to the law of Christ the King, the blood of innocents will continue to cry out to heaven for vengeance.
