Abortion Radicals Under Investigation For Plane Stunt Advertising Illegal Abortion Drugs

A radical left-wing pro-abortion organization run by a former Biden official has may have put itself in hot water for a stunt that directed women in a state where abortion pills are banned to get access to the deadly drugs.

Attendees at the Kentucky State Fair in Louisville looked up over the weekend to see an airplane pulling a banner that read, “Abortion Pills By Mail.” The banner directed viewers to Mayday Health, a New York-based nonprofit that directs women to specific services that covertly ship abortion pills through the mail.

The pro-abortion message from the New York-based Mayday comes as pro-life state lawmakers across the country struggle to combat a flood of activist-provided abortion pills delivered through the mail. Kentucky is one of over a dozen states where medication abortions, administered through the drug mifepristone, are technically against the law.

Mayday’s latest stunt could land it in legal trouble after Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman said they broke the law.

“It appears abortion activists are flying over Louisville advertising illegal drugs. They are breaking the law,”Coleman said. “Since January, our office has been investigating mail-order abortion pills. We will not tolerate this illegal danger.”

Kentucky is one of more than a dozen states where medication abortions using mifepristone are prohibited under state law. The growing flow of abortion pills through the mail has created a major enforcement battle between pro-life states and abortion activists operating outside their borders.

Coleman first launched an investigation into the Mayday in January after it sponsored advertisements at Kentucky gas stations reading, “Pregnant? Don’t want to be? Learn more at Mayday Health.”

The activist organization was founded by Olivia Raisner, who previously worked as traveling content director for President Joe Biden’s Office of Digital Strategy. Its website walks visitors through obtaining abortion pills by mail and directs them to services through which the drugs can be ordered.

The group also maintains a page devoted to “gender-affirming care resources,” directing visitors to activist organizations that can help cover the costs associated with transgender procedures.

The airplane banner was spotted by the pro-life organization Kentucky Right to Life.

“Mayday Health is back at it — flying their abortion pushing-pill-propaganda over Kentucky. Kentuckians deserve better than out-of-state activists pushing dangerous abortion drugs into our Commonwealth,” said Addia Wuchner, the group’s executive director. “We will continue to stand firm and protect life!”
And Kentucky isn’t the first place Mayday has taken its message.

The organization has promoted abortion pills around the country, including at the U.S. Open in New York and at gas stations across South Dakota. In July, a Biden-appointed federal judge sided with Mayday after the organization sued to block a South Dakota law restricting advertisements for abortion pills.

Raisner defended the Kentucky banner by arguing that Mayday’s activities are protected speech under the First Amendment.

“Mayday shares information about abortion pills in states where clinics are banned or restricted,” she told Kentucky Today. “We want everyone to know that safe, effective abortion medication exists.”

Despite the claims that it just “share information,” Mayday’s website actively directs users to other secretive organizations that ship abortion pills anywhere in the country. These organizations typically send pills in flagrant violation of states laws without requiring identity verification or prescription.

Despite the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the number of abortions performed nationwide has increased, according to data compiled by organizations that support abortion rights. Tens of thousands of abortions are now estimated to be taking place among residents of states such as Texas and Tennessee, where abortion is heavily restricted, with abortion pills obtained through the mail playing a significant role.

In Kentucky, the estimated number of abortions increased from 950 in 2023 to 2,970 in 2024.

Pro-life organizations have consequently pushed the Trump administration to reverse Biden-era FDA policies that expanded access to abortion pills through the mail. The FDA says it is currently conducting a safety review of mifepristone.
