The U.S. Food and Drug Administration must quickly restore commonsense guardrails on the abortion pill to safeguard women’s health and save lives.
For years, activists on the Left claimed they were pro-abortion to protect “women’s health.” But the Biden administration’s FDA, in its push to promote more abortions at all costs, loosened safety restrictions on the abortion pill, harming countless women.
Today, more than half of abortions are completed with the abortion pill, a two-drug regimen administered to kill a woman’s preborn child. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks the pregnancy hormone progesterone, cutting off the blood supply and nutrients to the preborn child. The second drug, misoprostol, causes the woman’s body to expel her now dead baby.
In 2000, the FDA first approvedmifepristone for use as a “medication” with severe restrictions, claiming it had a “meaningful therapeutic benefit.” But keep in mind, the abortion pill isn’t truly medication at all. Medicine is intended to cure or treat a disease or illness, and pregnancy is clearly not a disease. Therefore, mifepristione has zero therapeutic benefit, and should never have been approved in the first place.
