Tshibaka Says Make Mailing Abortion Pills Federal Crime in Resurfaced Video

A video has recently resurfaced online of Republican candidate for Alaska's Senate Kelly Tshibaka calling for the federal criminalization of in-mail abortion and birth control pills.

Tshibaka, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, said during a meeting with supporters that was captured on cellphone video last month that she wants "to make it illegal" to send abortion pills in the mail under a potential criminal act that would allow postal services to block those pills from reaching recipients.

Though the GOP candidate, who is running for Senator Lisa Murkowski's seat in the state's upcoming midterm election, noted that she needs to think the idea through, she said that the potential act would "prosecute" the recipient, the drug maker, the sender, and the "whole chain there."
