Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is moving forward with a lawsuit against New York abortionist Margaret Carpenter. This case is the first direct challenge to the same dangerous shield laws about which Operation Rescue sounded the alarm in its special exposé, “The Virtual Back-Alley,” highlighted in the 2024 Annual Survey report.
Earlier this year, Carpenter disregarded Texas state law and supplied abortion pills via telemedicine to a woman based in Dallas. Shortly after, the woman found herself in the emergency room with severe bleeding – a high-risk complication in chemical abortions, especially when done at home with no medical oversight.
“Operation Rescue detailed the dangerous expansion of telemedicine abortions – what we call the virtual back-alley – in our 2024 Annual Survey,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “Virtual suppliers have nearly tripled since last year, and 22 states have created shield laws or executive orders to protect abortionists trying to cash in on this lucrative, under regulated new trend.
“These shield laws remove any and all accountability for abortionists like Carpenter who can profit from a woman a thousand miles away and face zero consequences when that woman nearly bleeds to death in an emergency room.”
The lawsuit also states that Carpenter started working with Aid Access in 2020, a virtual abortion pill supplier that brazenly offers pills in all 50 states. Aid Access also supplies them as late as 13 weeks into pregnancy, well past the FDA approved cut-off of 10 weeks. Later in 2020, Carpenter also helped found a second virtual supplier, Hey Jane. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
