FDA quietly approved new abortion drug after promising safety investigation

Daily Caller News Foundation

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new generic version of mifepristone on Tuesday.

Weeks after confirming a review of the abortion pill was underway, the FDA approved the application of a new mifepristone producer, Evita Solutions, LLC, according to a letter sent to the company.

“Evita Solutions believes that all people should have access to safe, affordable, high-quality, effective, and compassionate abortion care, regardless of their race, sex, gender, age, sexuality, income, or where they live,” the company’s website states. “We know that you can make the best choice for your body.”

The company submitted its application in 2021, according to the approval letter.

“This reckless decision by the FDA to expand the availability of abortion drugs is unconscionable,” Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. “These dangerous drugs take the lives of unborn children, place women and underage girls at serious risk, empower abusers, and trample the pro-life laws enacted by states across the nation.”

The FDA and Evita Solutions did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley said he has “lost confidence in the leadership at FDA.”

“This is shocking,” Hawley wrote on X. “FDA has just approved ANOTHER chemical abortion drug, when the evidence shows chemical abortion drugs are dangerous and even deadly for the mother. And of course 100% lethal to the child.”

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed in a Sept. 19 letter to Republican attorneys general that the FDA is conducting “its own review of the evidence, including real-world outcomes and evidence, relating to the safety and efficacy of the drug.”

RFK. Jr also said during a hearing in September that the Biden administration “twisted the data to bury one of the safety signals” for mifepristone.
