"We've known for years that mifepristone is risky but it's really just in the last few years that we've learned that this drug is inherently dangerous and it is inherently prone to abuse."
"One liberal administration after another, President Obama and then President Biden, removed almost all of the safety protocols around mifepristone such that today it is almost wholly unregulated. They did it because of abortion politics. They did it because they wanted to turn mifepristone into the driver of abortion on demand."
Senator Josh Hawley introduced a bill to revoke FDA approval of mifepristone for pregnancy termination while maintaining its authorization for treating Cushing's syndrome. The legislation would enable women claiming harm from the medication to pursue legal action against its manufacturer. Hawley characterized mifepristone as inherently dangerous and prone to abuse, arguing that previous administrations removed safety protocols around the drug for political reasons related to abortion access. He stated the medication has become largely unregulated and accused prior administrations of prioritizing abortion politics over safety measures. The bill faces significant obstacles in the Senate, though Hawley committed to advocating for its passage among colleagues.
