From Cincinnati Right to Life<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is demanding the Food and Drug Administration roll back its reckless expansion of chemical abortion pill access. In a blistering letter<\/a> to the agency, the AGs urge the FDA<\/a> to restore its original safeguards, which limited use of the abortion pill to the first 7 weeks of pregnancy, required in-person doctor visits, and imposed critical safety protocols to protect women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter<\/a> points out that beginning with the Obama administration, and continuing through the the Biden administration, they had deliberately stripped away these protections\u2014allowing mail-order abortion, expanding use beyond 10 weeks, and removing physician oversight. The result:  women are left to suffer <\/a>alone with serious and sometimes life-threatening complications.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cBased on that review, the FDA should consider reinstating safety protocols that it identified as necessary as recently as 2011 in its issuance of a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for mifepristone, but which were removed by the Obama and Biden administrations,\u201d the letter says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attorneys general extensively cite a study released earlier this year by the Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC)<\/a>, which found that nearly 11 percent of American women suffer serious adverse events after taking abortion pills\u2014a complication rate 22 times higher than what is listed on the drug\u2019s label. This shocking discrepancy underscores the FDA\u2019s failure to prioritize women\u2019s health over politics and abortion industry profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, lawsuits in Texas<\/a> and Louisiana<\/a> are spotlighting the growing legal crisis: chemical abortions remain illegal in those states, yet abortion pills are still being shipped in through the mail in violation of state law. On top of the human cost, mounting environmental concerns are surfacing as discarded fetal <\/a>remains<\/a> and drug residue<\/a> enter wastewater systems, raising public health alarms.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Cincinnati Right to Life especially thanks the Attorneys General of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio for standing boldly in defense of women and children. Their leadership makes clear that our region will not stay silent while the federal government enables lawlessness and endangers lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 22 AGs\u2019 letter delivers a clear message: it\u2019s time for the FDA to stop being an arm of the abortion industry and return to its true role\u2014protecting the American people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
