A major pro-life group is calling on Trump administration officials to step in and protect access to progesterone, used to reverse the abortion pill, as New York and California target the drug. 40 Days For Life wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, and other Trump officials asking them to acknowledge the safety of progesterone. “The increasing efficacy of the use of progesterone to reverse the abortion pill has resulted in concerted legal action by radical pro-abortion states like California, New York and Colorado targeting pro-life organizations and health care providers serving the women seeking [abortion pill reversal],” 40 Days For Life wrote in their letter, which was provided to The Daily Wire. “Ironically, they are removing women’s ‘choice’ and limiting options to what the government decides is best for women and their babies,” the group wrote. Progesterone, a hormone women produce naturally, has an important role in sustaining pregnancy and can reverse the effects of mifepristone, the popular abortion pill. Mifepristone causes the uterus to contract and expel its contents, while progesterone works to stop contractions and keep the uterine lining intact. “We urge you to implement federal regulation and law that preserve[s] the right of health care professionals to provide progesterone to reverse the effects of the abortion pill, for those women who so choose, without fear or threat of frivolous over-bearing litigation by rogue state and local politicians and lawyers,” 40 Days For Life told Trump officials.

In New York, Attorney General Letitia James launched investigations and lawsuits trying to use consumer protection laws to crack down on progesterone. California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit accusing pregnancy centers of “false and misleading advertising” around progesterone. Both states targeted Heartbeat International, a pro-life group that connects women with progesterone who take the abortion pill and then change their mind. Shawn Carney, co-founder and CEO of 40 Days For Life, said California is essentially claiming progesterone “doesn’t work, it’s bad medicine, it’s witchcraft.” “What’s so beautiful about this stupid lawsuit that he filed is that we just line up a bunch of kids and say, you know, it’s documented. These women had a chemical abortion. These women then sought abortion pill reversal. And here’s little Tommy,” Carney told The Daily Wire. “The pro-life side will definitely win,” he said. “My hope and prayer is that this is something other states look at and decide we’re not going into crazy land with California. We’re not suing people.” Carney also said California banned his group’s signs that read, “Ask me about abortion pill reversal,” but the group is “completely ignoring their stupid law and hope they sue us.” With more than a million volunteers, 40 Days For Life says it is the world’s largest grassroots pro-life movement. The group organizes 40 days of fasting and prayer outside abortion clinics around the world every year. An analysis released in April found that more than one in 10 women experienced a “serious adverse event” after taking the mifepristone abortion pill in 2023. This can include hemorrhaging, needing a blood transfusion, an emergency room visit, and even deadly conditions like sepsis. That is about 22 times higher than what the FDA listed on its label for the brand Mifeprex in 2023. The FDA cited clinical studies saying less than 0.5% of women suffered “serious adverse reactions” to mifepristone. Meanwhile, more than one in 20 women need a second abortion attempt after the abortion pill fails, another analysis of insurance claim data released this week showed. A few months before Roe v. Wade was overturned, the FDA scrapped the requirement that women must obtain abortion pills in person from a health care provider, allowing women to get them online through the mail. Carney said mifepristone “just needs to be removed from the market in general.” “We have basically this government policy that sends one in 10 women to the ER that is not based on medicine or safety for women or any of that, but is based on politics,” he said. Last month, HHS head Kennedy told lawmakers he had requested that the FDA do a “complete review” of the abortion pill in the wake of the new data, calling it “alarming.” Carney also noted that unlike a surgical abortion, women who take the abortion pill at home often see the remains of their unborn babies and are left traumatized. “I think we’ve seen the usage of the abortion pills in America peak. I think they’re at their height, I think we’re going to start seeing them go down because they have a horrible word-of-mouth,” Carney said.

News In Your Dreams Two Siblings Want to Change Reality in Netflix’s In Your Dreams It’s all fun and games until the nightmares start. By Molly Templeton | Published on June 13, 2025 Image: Netflix © 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Netflix © 2024 Be careful what you wish for—or dream about. Netflix has just released a first teaser for In Your Dreams, an animated feature about two siblings who go venturing off into the world of dreams in search of a Sandman who grants wishes. But dreams, of course, have their natural counterpart: nightmares. This synopsis kinda had me at “zombie breakfast foods,” to be honest: In Your Dreams is a comedy adventure about Stevie and her brother Elliot who journey into the absurd landscape of their own dreams. If the siblings can withstand a snarky stuffed giraffe, zombie breakfast foods, and the queen of nightmares, the Sandman will grant them their ultimate dream come true…the perfect family. Jolie Hoang-Rappaport voices Stevie; Elias Janssen is Elliot. The movie also stars the voices of Craig Robinson (as Elliot’s beloved stuffed giraffe, Baloney Tony), Cristin Milioti as the kids’ mom, Simu Liu as their dad, Gia Carides as Nightmara, Omid Djalili as the Sandman, SungWon Cho as Chad, and Zachary Noah Piser as Joon Bae. In Your Dreams is written and directed by Alex Woo (Go! Go! Cory Carson) and Erik Benson (one of the writers of The Good Dinosaur). It’s on Netflix November 14th.[end-mark] The post Two Siblings Want to Change Reality in Netflix’s <i>In Your Dreams</i> appeared first on Reactor.

News The Institute The Institute Will Recruit You Whether You Like It or Not Being a kid in a Stephen King story is always such a good time. By Molly Templeton | Published on June 13, 2025 Image: Chris Reardon/MGM+ Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Chris Reardon/MGM+ Many adaptations are announced and never heard of again—but not when the source material is a Stephen King novel. The Institute was announced just shy of a year ago, its excellent cast already set. Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds) and Ben Barnes (Shadow and Bone) star alongside newcomer Joe Freeman in this story of child prodigies kidnapped and put to work saving the world—with or without their consent. At least, that’s how it looks in this trailer, which King himself shared on YouTube. Here’s the series synopsis: The Institute follows the story of teen genius Luke Ellis (Freeman), who is kidnapped and awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did and who are all possessed of unusual abilities. In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson (Barnes) has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide. This adaptation comes from director/executive producer Jack Bender (Lost, From) and writer Benjamin Cavell—who also co-created the recent adaptation of King’s The Stand. The rest of the cast includes Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Hannah Galway, Julian Richings, Robert Joy, and Martin Roach. The Institute premieres July 13th on MGM+.[end-mark] The post <i>The Institute</i> Will Recruit You Whether You Like It or Not appeared first on Reactor.
