The FDA Was Wrong to Approve Chemical-Abortion Drugs

Now on the other side of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, many Americans seem to think that the question of abortion has returned entirely to the states. That is not true. The federal government is deeply implicated, most notably with its reckless approval of chemical-abortion drugs.

Congress has charged the federal Food and Drug Administration with keeping all dangerous drugs off the U.S. market, or at minimum restricting them so that they may be used safely. But the FDA refuses to protect women and children from dangerous drugs pushed by the reckless, profit-driven abortion industry — and, every day, Americans are suffering.
