Why Are We Protesting Walgreens
Dear Editor,
On February 4th, 2023, many of us protested Walgreens in Fairbanks. People wondered why would we protest a local pharmacy?
The answer is because Walgreens and Rite Aid have agreed to sale the dangerous abortion pill, the Mifepristone Drug to our Alaskan mothers.
Why is it dangerous? Besides the fact that it kills the infant, it can also be deadly to the mother, especially if she doesn’t receive emergency medical care
if she begins hemorrhaging after taking the second pill. But let me back up for a moment.
In a pregnancy, a miracle is happening like none other. A growing baby in the womb of their mother is a relationship where they love and care for eachother.
The baby’s DNA will be in her mother for the rest of the mother’s life, no matter how long she’s pregnant.
The unborn child’s life has the ability to sometimes heal the mother of health issues. He sends strong signals to the mother
for nourishment and life essentials. The mother without realizing it, is completely prepared for this moment. Her body from the top of her head, to the tip of her toes, begins to
care for her child. Her blood increases, her hormones explode, her body begins the miraculous building of an entire new organ called the placenta. This new organ
is one of the most incredible moments in life as it has many jobs that it does for both mom and her child.
The baby feels the mother’s emotions, hears her voice, tastes her food and loves her. The mother builds a bubble around her child and seals her
cervix as a strong locktight door to protect that baby from bacteria and harm. They are working together to grow this new life as a team. It’s a perfect relationship for both. There’ s
nothing stronger than the bond of a mother and her child. Even in death, the mother is always the mother, and the baby is always her child forevermore.
When a mother takes Mifepristone, the drug tricks the mother’s body which is completely in tune with her child, to stop progesterone. This hormone is essential for feeding her child.
The baby begins to starve to death. The mother’s body still has a nest which has been built for the baby and she has alot of blood to build that placenta. Remember, her entire body is
now taking care of her son or daughter, and that doesn’t just immediately all go away with a couple of pills. It’s a completely unnatural devastating event on her system that’s being forced upon her and a totally healthy baby.
Once she takes that first pill, the clock begins ticking. She’s got about 24 to 48 hours to reverse the effects of this pill by calling The Abortion Reversal Hotline at 1-877-558-0333.
They can get her into the hospital and try to restart the progesterone production again before the baby dies.
If she doesn’t intervene to save her son or daughter, the baby will starve and die. The pill killed her baby. But soon the mother takes another pill. The second pill causes the baby to come out along with
all the effort and work her body did to nourish her infant. That’s basically like labor. People say it’s like a miscarriage, except it’s not. A natural miscarriage is when something went wrong and the mother’s body
knows it and begins the process of shutting down the pregnancy. In this case, there was nothing wrong, it was forced unnaturally and the body is in shock. There’s no preparation at all. So when the baby comes out,
so does sometimes alot of blood and bad cramping. So much that it can kill the mom without getting an emergency DNC.
Walgreens knows this, but chooses to take the risk of losing both the baby and his mother. Many women live far away from a hospital in Alaska. Walgreeens knows this too.
Walgreens is fully aware of all of the risks, but there’s big money in abortions. They traded pulses for profit.
So, that’s why the residents of Fairbanks protested Walgreens on Feb 4th and will again and again until they decide to put our Alaskan families first.
