"The culture of death has taken root so deeply that these incidents are not isolated but reflect a coordinated and determined movement to end the lives of the unborn."
Underground abortion networks are emerging out of the shadows, and it is every bit as alarming as it sounds.

Agents of the pro-abortion movement are now driving abortion drugs across state lines in the middle of the night, slipping pills into unmarked envelopes, secretly cultivating herbs to induce abortion and offering undisclosed lodging where at-home abortions can take place away from accountability or oversight.

These underground efforts reveal more than illegal activity or reckless behavior; they expose a deeper cultural and spiritual battle over life – one that no piece of legislation can resolve on its own.

People are going to extreme lengths to aid women in ending their pregnancies, risking not only criminal charges and jail time, but also the physical safety of everyone involved. The culture of death has taken root so deeply that these incidents are not isolated but reflect a coordinated and determined movement to end the lives of the unborn.
