Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone

03/11/26 5:29 PM ET


Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups.

The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug’s widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023.

But mifepristone, which when combined with the drug misoprostol can end pregnancies at up to 70 days of gestation, has become a major target of the anti-abortion movement. President Trump has sought to satisfy those anti-abortion voices by launching an FDA review of the drug, which has not been completed.

Hawley says the ability of doctors to prescribe the drug across state lines has led to rampant abuse and alleges that incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug’s maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.

And someone should introduce legislation to ban Viagara (and it's generics) to keep these dickless morons from trying to spray their defective seed at anything that moves.

so they think most Americans think the government should tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies? Really?

Apply their desires to show that 'incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug’s maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.' and apply it to Viagra or any of the other drugs that men love so much.

Let's see what happens...
