The National Abortion Federation (NAF) has implemented a new policy on the abortion pill which will affect clients who receive their funding. The\u00a0Washington Post<\/a>\u00a0reported,\u00a0“The National Abortion Federation and its NAF Hotline Fund will now require patients who receive their funding to take both abortion pills [mifepristone and misoprostol] in a state where abortion is legal, according to emails sent on Aug. 22…. The new rules could impact thousands of patients a year, providers say.” The move comes despite the abortion industry’s push for unsupervised DIY or “self-managed” abortions.<\/p>\n

It is uncertain what the motive might be behind such a policy, but since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June and multiple state trigger laws protecting preborn children went into effect, the abortion industry has been careful to avoid criminal prosecution in those states.<\/p>\n

The Post\u00a0reports that NAFs’ abortion funding is “backed largely by billionaire Warren Buffett” who they claim “helped fund at least 10 percent of all\u00a0abortions\u00a0in the United States in 2020.” Buffett is also an original investor in the abortion pill manufacturer, Danco Laboratories.<\/p>\n
