More than 100 U.S. senators and members of Congress called on the Food and Drug Administration last week to enforce safety precautions regarding the distribution of abortion pills, noting that the drugs have documented dangerous and sometimes lethal side effects.
Earlier this month, the Biden administration loosened restrictions around at-home medication abortions, a significant victory for pro-abortion groups. In a reversal of a Trump-era policy, FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock said her agency would stop enforcing a restriction that required women using abortion pills to obtain the first drug in the two-dose regimen, mifepristone, in person from a medical provider. The FDA will now allow women to obtain the pills by mail during the coronavirus pandemic.
