Another volunteer, Tori, brought her 14-year-old daughter to help her package and mail the pills. “It feels really important to just sit around a table and put together a package that provides basic health care to a woman who wouldn’t otherwise have it,” Tori said. “It’s an antidote to the hopelessness that has set in.”

An older woman, who only went by the initial I., gave examples of botched abortions as a reason why she got involved with the project — an ironic justification, considering that women like Amber Thurman died from sepsis after taking the abortion pill, and a woman in Texas along with a teen in Louisiana both suffered serious complications after receiving the mail-order abortion pill from a New York abortionist.

The co-founder of MAP is Dr. Angel Foster, whom Live Action News identified in 2021 as a study author and “scholar” at “Ibis Reproductive Health, which is funded by U.S. abortion pill manufacturer Danco Laboratories and by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, a Danco investor.”

Foster told WBUR how the group avoids consequences for its illegal actions. “Very intentionally, the person who orders the pills is different from the person who prescribes the pills, is different from the person who packages the pills, is different from the person who brings the pills to the post office, is different from the person who processes the payments,” she said.

Despite the claims of the group, abortion is not health care; anything that intentionally and directly kills human beings — regardless of their size, level of development, environment, or degree of dependency — cannot reasonably be considered healthcare or a human right.

Though Foster seems sure they won’t get caught, pro-life states are increasingly taking action to stop groups like MAP. The Tennessee Senate recently passed a bill making abortion pill distributors liable in wrongful death lawsuits. Texas has also begun moving toward taking similar action with a bill expanding the Texas Heartbeat Act to allow citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, mails, or distributes abortion pills in Texas for $100,000.
