If you think abortion is no longer a federal issue, think again.

Thanks to intrepid work by researchers and analysts from great pro-life think tanks, the evidence is stacking up against mifepristone and in favor of a massive overhaul of the FDA’s regulations on the abortion pill. Despite those rising safety concerns, however, mifepristone continues to be shipped across state lines into states that ban abortion, which undercuts states’ ability to regulate the practice.
