About this sermon
The future of the most common method of abortion in the United States is now in the hands of a Texas judge as to whether or not the FDA mishandled the initial approval process of the drug, mifepristone, in the year 2000. Mifepristone blocks the progesterone hormone in the body and is used to end pregnancy within the first ten weeks. Texas judge Matthew Kacsmaryk says he'll issue a ruling "as soon as possible." Joining us tonight with more on this is Christina Bennett, Correspondent for Live Action News. She shares her thoughts on what's at stake as the hearing proceeds, and on further details about the drug. As a small crowd of protesters dressed as clowns is outside the courthouse in Amarillo, Texas, Bennett gives her take on the protesters' statement that Judge Kacsmaryk is making the American court system into a circus. Also, she suggests what will be the reaction of Americans if Judge Kacsmaryk rules to ban mifepristone in the country. As abortion headlines especially hit close to home for Bennett whose own mother was scheduled for an abortion when she was pregnant with her, she reflects on what her own fate may have been if her mother had access to an at-home abortion pill.
