It highlights the story of Catherine Herring, who unknowingly ingested poison intended to induce a chemical abortion but managed to reverse its effects. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-slated-to-sue-doj-over-unprecedented-mar-a-lago-raid\/\" title=\"Trump Slated To Sue DOJ Over Unprecedented Mar-a-Lago Raid\">piece emphasizes concerns<\/a> over the legality and safety of mailing abortion pills, with victims and advocates urging the Department of Justice to regulate the distribution more strictly.It mentions a letter signed by 14 women describing their traumatic experiences, including Rosalie Markezich, coerced into taking abortion pills by her boyfriend. Medical professionals warn about the severe health risks associated with improper use and contaminated drugs. The article calls for stronger protections to prevent abuse and unsafe procedures stemming from the online sale of abortion medication.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When Catherine Herring\u2019s husband unexpectedly served her breakfast in bed one morning, she found it unusual, but not suspicious. She never imagined that he was trying to kill their unborn child. She also never imagined that he would attempt to poison her six more times.<\/p>\n<p>Herring\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ya8aS56U7qo&#038;list=PLKolli0BzVvE-7w7gYf49ZuBaejeWfNZR&#038;index=5\">story<\/a> is becoming shockingly common among women targeted by the abortion drug mifepristone. Luckily, Herring was able to reverse the chemical abortion that she unknowingly ingested from the water her husband gave her \u2014 but not all women are this fortunate.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/4526373\/todd-blanche-pressured-undo-abortion-pill-liberalization\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com#google_vignette\">reported<\/a> in April that almost 80 pro-life groups sent a letter to Acting Attorney General <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/todd-blanche\/\">Todd Blanche<\/a> to support states that sued the Food and Drug Administration over its refusal to better regulate the prescription of abortion pills online.<\/p>\n<p>Blanche is the interim replacement for Pam Bondi after her exit from the post in April. His confirmation hearing is scheduled for July 15 and July 16. Ahead of this, Blanche received another letter, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-women-harmed-by-abortion-drugs-send-a-message-to-todd-blanche\">revealed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On July 8, a letter signed by 14 abortion drug victims, including Tramelle Jones, Sara Huff, Elizabeth Henschel, Dora Rhode Esparza, Jannette Houston, Grace Cardoso, Abby Johnson, Kelly Lester, Erin Woods, Alani Harmon, Haile McAnally, Shanyce Thomas, McKenzie Kaupa-Thiesse, and Jessica Williams, was sent to Blanche. Together, they \u00a0underscore their own trauma, as well as the case of Rosalie Markezich, a young Louisiana woman who was coerced into taking abortion drugs by her boyfriend in 2023 and is now a plaintiff in a high-profile case over mifepristone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department of Justice must act now to protect women by listening to and standing with Rosalie Markezich, rather than fighting against her in litigation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-women-harmed-by-abortion-drugs-send-a-message-to-todd-blanche\">read the letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having a criminal record, Markezich\u2019s boyfriend was still able to obtain the drug. \u201cUsing my personal  address and mailing address, my boyfriend filled out an online form and ordered the drugs (mifepristone and misoprostol) from an online provider that his sister had used multiple times before,\u201d Rosalie told her attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom. Markezich did not want to take the pills. Her boyfriend coerced her until she ingested them, afraid for her safety if she continued to refuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI laid in the bathroom for approximately an hour, bleeding and crying for the loss of my child. I could not look at my boyfriend. To avoid him, I went to the garage and lay there on a blood-soaked towel for the rest of the night,\u201d Rosalie remembered.<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cIf the Biden FDA had not removed in-person dispensing, my then-boyfriend would not have been able to obtain abortion drugs and pressure me to take them against my will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the letter, the victims plead with Blanche to see to it that \u201cabortion drugs are no longer sent through the mail in ways that put women at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taking an abortion pill from the mail can be very unsafe, Dr. Christina Francis, a pro-life OB-GYN said on The Washington Stand\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ya8aS56U7qo&#038;list=PLKolli0BzVvE-7w7gYf49ZuBaejeWfNZR&#038;index=5\">Outstanding\u201d podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have taken care of a patient in the emergency room who ordered abortion drugs online, and they were shipped to her from India, so who knows what was in those drugs? She came in with a severe infection, bleeding, but also in early kidney failure. \u2026 You can have permanent damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francis went on to explain that mifepristone can also cause sepsis, which can kill a woman within 24 hours of her blood being infected.<\/p>\n<p>The group who wrote the letter to Blanche is desperate to see the dangerous side effects that arise from the distribution of mail-order abortion drugs eradicated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe federal government should not defend policies that make it easier for men, abusers, traffickers, or anyone else to obtain abortion drugs in a woman\u2019s name and pressure her to take them in isolation,\u201d they write.<\/p>\n<div><em>Quinn Delamater is a reporter for The Washington Stand.<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
