Medical groups urge Kennedy, FDA to reexamine broad approval of abortion drugs

FIRST ON FOX: As Planned Parenthood sues the Trump administration for provisions of the "big, beautiful bill" defunding abortion providers, pro-life medical groups are urging Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reexamine the FDA’s broad approval of abortion drugs.

In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, six anti-abortion medical organizations, representing approximately 30,000 medical professionals, urge Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Martin Makary to reinstate safety guards on the abortion pill mifepristone that have been removed since it was first approved in 2000.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, medication abortion accounts for 63% of all U.S. abortions. The most common form of medication abortion method involves ingesting mifepristone, a pill that cuts off progesterone flow to the womb, essentially starving the fetus of nutrients. A second pill, called misoprostol, is then ingested to expel the dead fetus.

Under the Biden administration, the FDA significantly expanded its approval of mifepristone, allowing the drugs to be obtained via telemedicine, without in-person doctor appointments and to be mailed.

In the letter, the groups, which include the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs, the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and the American College of Family Medicine, warn that the latest data on mifepristone "strongly suggests" that hundreds of thousands of women have been harmed by using the drug.

Planned Parenthood states on its website that chemical abortion is "safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra." The letter, however, calls mifepristone "a high-risk abortion-inducing drug that is known to cause serious adverse effects and medical emergencies, including hemorrhage, sepsis, and incomplete abortions requiring surgical intervention."

The only acceptable safeguard in my mind is to ban its development, manufacture, distribution and use.

broad approval of abortion drugs

I would think the disapproval should be from both men and women.

Of all the cr*p that Obama minime spouted in his 8.5 hour long one-minute speech on the House floor last week, the one statement that angered me the most was his promise to pass a "reproductive rights" bill when his time comes. This fat old honkey cares about black babies more than the FIRST BLACK HOUSE MINORITY LEADER!!! does. He's the damn racist; he wants black babies dead, I want all babies alive.

Democrat Manchurian Candidate
Barack Hussein Obama
is a notorious baby-killer, too.

Alan Keyes JUSTLY and RIGHTFULLY said
"Barack Obama supports INFANTICIDE"


Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama certainly DOES like baby-killers - it's in his Satanic DNA

AND if a baby SURVIVED an ABORTION ATTEMPT Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama MADE SURE their lives were NOT saved by going AGAINST the Illinois Born-Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA). Jill Stanek, nurse, told us ALL about it.

What many Americans voted for in November, 2008:
