The FDA’s Bad Science on Abortion Drugs

With Robert Califf now in charge, the FDA is likely to promote dangerous chemical abortions. The pro-life movement must fight back.

The confirmation of Dr. Robert Califf as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the latest example of President Biden’s extreme commitment to promoting abortion on demand, no matter the human cost. While Califf’s nomination ultimately did prevail, the abortion issue deprived the Biden team of an easy path to victory. And since personnel is policy, the debate did much to expose the FDA’s role in expanding mail-order abortion drug use.

The abortion industry has been pushing for years to turn post offices and pharmacies across America into abortion centers. That push has kicked into overdrive since the Supreme Court announced it would hear the Dobbs case, the biggest legal challenge yet to Roe v. Wade. “The abortion pill” (Mifeprex) actually involves two drugs: mifepristone, which stops the unborn baby from absorbing the nutrients it needs to survive; and misoprostol, which induces labor to expel the body of the dead child. This is the workaround pro-abortion activists envision for a post-Roe world, with bureaucrats like Califf rubber-stamping their agenda.
