GET THE FACTS: The abortion pill's history of eugenics and secrecy

The abortion pill has a long — and somewhat surprising — history.

The Live Action News articles below discuss the abortion pill's history of eugenics and secrecy that still continues today, since it was first brought to the United States more than 25 years ago. (See a timeline of the events surrounding the abortion pill here.)

The Population Council, which brought the abortion pill to the U.S., has a shocking history that’s nothing to celebrate

This Live Action News article written in 2017 details individuals involved with the Population Council, which brought the abortion pill into the United States. The article sums up below, and this summary is followed by a list of multiple individuals involved with the eugenics-based, population control organization:

In 1952, John D. Rockefeller III founded the Population Council and served as the organization’s first president.  According to the Rockefeller Foundation, the Population Council, Inc., was incorporated following Rockefeller’s Conference on Population Problems, “…to stimulate, encourage, promote, conduct and support significant activities in the broad field of population.”

Like its founder, the Population Council’s other members were concerned about population issues — and, like other population organizations such as Planned Parenthood, high ranking Population Council leaders were well connected to the eugenics movement.

The BILLIONAIRES behind ABORTION

The shocking connection between the abortion pill and Zyklon-B, the gas used during the Holocaust

A 2019 Live Action News article notes that the abortion pill "has ties to the manufacturer of the deadly gas Zyklon-B, used by the Nazis during the Holocaust." The article adds:

Zyklon-B was originally used as a pesticide against rodents and other vermin until the Nazis realized the gas, manufactured by the German chemical company I. G. Farben, could also be used as a way to exterminate large numbers of humans. According to the New York Times, “I.G. Farben played so important a role in Hitler’s war machine and in the Holocaust that it came to be called ”the devil’s chemist.”

It manufactured Zyklon B, the gas-chamber poison, among many other products, and its factories exploited more than 35,000 slave laborers, many from Auschwitz. It even built a concentration camp of its own to improve efficiency.”

The TROUBLING History of the ABORTION PILL

The secrecy surrounding the abortion pill’s maker and influential financial investors must end

This 2019 Live Action News article pointed out:

The abortion industry is seeking to:

• Conduct clinical trials to prove the abortion pill, RU486 – a.k.a. Mifeprex, is safe for pharmacy and mail order dispensing.

• Eliminate REMS under Mifeprex.

• Filing lawsuits to force the FDA to remove Mifeprex from REMS.

This is only part of the problem. Another issue is that the abortion pill’s manufacturer itself is incredibly secretive about its stakeholders and controlling parties, which (from the limited information we can glean) appear to stand to gain financially from a broad abortion pill expansion.

Roe v. Wade attorney: Use the abortion pill to ‘eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy, and poor’

In 2020, Live Action News published this article about more recent eugenics-based motivations behind the promotion of the abortion pill. The article noted:

In 1992, Ron Weddington, a co-counsel of Roe v. Wade and the ex-husband of Roe attorney Sarah Weddington, wrote to the newly-elected Bill Clinton administration expressing concern about the growing size of certain population groups.

His open letter, uncovered by Judicial Watch, recommended that the president should “eliminate” certain segments of society via vasectomies, tubal ligations, abortions, and the RU-486 abortion pill.

Generic abortion pill company GenBioPro claims to be significant share of nationwide market

In 2022, Live Action News noted in this article, "The generic manufacturer of the abortion pill — GenBioPro — claims to have captured a significant share of the nationwide market for mifepristone, according to a letter submitted to a U.S. District Court."

Federal law prohibits sending abortion drugs by US mail… so why isn’t it being enforced?

In February 2025, Live Action News pointed out:

• The Comstock Act (federal law) already restricts the shipment or mailing of “abortifacient matter through express companies, common carriers, or interactive computer services.”

• There are indications that those in charge of enforcing the law at USPS may be choosing to ignore it out of partisanship.

• Illegal abortion pill syndicates are flooding the U.S. with abortion drugs, as domestic groups advise women to lie about their true locations in order to get the pills through the mail.

• Investigations into the shipping of abortion drugs are possible — and a drug-sniffing dog proved it.

• Sometimes it takes years of complaints before investigations are launched.

• Both the U.S. Postal Service as well as other governmental authorities can be contacted regarding the problem of shipping abortion pills through the mail or other common carriers in violation of federal law.

FDA report shows casualties from the abortion pill continue to climb

In April 2025, Live Action News noted that "The drug’s U.S. manufacturers, Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro, are required to report abortion pill numbers to the FDA. While these numbers allegedly represent women who have purchased the drug, there is speculation that they are not representative of the total number of actual abortions, due to alleged stockpiling by women and some states since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade."

Secretive abortion pill manufacturer forced to comply with federal law

Also in April 2025, Live Action News reported that "Danco Laboratories, the company in charge of the manufacturing and distribution of the abortion pill in the United States, must now comply with federal law by publishing the manufacturing country of origin on its packaging."

Secrecy surrounds generic abortion pill manufacturer Evita Solutions

In October 2025, Live Action News reported:

The mystery behind generic abortion pill maker Evita Solutions, LLC, is reminiscent of the original abortion pill maker approved in 2000 — Danco Laboratories, which has also been long shrouded in secrecy. Like Danco Laboratories, little is known about Evita Solutions, and thus far, no spokespersons of the company have been revealed.

Guttmacher admits mail-order abortion is cause of spike in abortion total

In November 2025, Live Action News reported:

The Guttmacher Institute notes that telehealth abortion with the ability to mail abortion pills to abortion seekers has contributed to the increased abortion numbers since the end of Roe v. Wade....

Federal laws already exist that ban sending drugs through the mail with intent to use them for an abortion. These laws are simply not being enforced at this time.
