The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services is assuring the Republican-controlled Senate that he has ordered a review of the abortion pill as concerns about the safety of chemical abortions resurface following the publication of a new report.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared before the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Wednesday, where Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., asked Kennedy if he intended to conduct a “top-to-bottom review” of the abortion pill, marketed in the U.S. as mifepristone, as he had previously promised in testimony before the senators.
