Pro-Lifers Demand Answers from Trump Administration After FDA Approves Abortion Pill

‘Adding a new life-ending drug to the market doesn’t make America greater or healthier.’

After the FDA approved a new abortion pill this week, pro-life activists are wanting answers from the White House.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) called the authorization “shocking” and said he had lost faith in FDA leadership, reported The Daily Wire.

“This is shocking. 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,” Hawley wrote on X. 

“FDA had promised to do a top-to-bottom safety review of the chemical abortion drug, but instead they’ve just greenlighted new versions of it for distribution. I have lost confidence in the leadership at FDA,” Hawley said. 

On Tuesday, the FDA allowed Evita Solutions to dispense mifepristone, a drug that is used to terminate the life of an unborn child in up to 63% of all abortions. The deadly drug works like this: Once a pregnant woman ingests mifepristone, the drug deprives the unborn child from the nutrients it needs to live, starving the baby to death. 

Another drug is then consumed to provoke labor and expel the dead baby from the mother. Since the Biden administration permitted the lethal drug to be mailed by doctors, it has been ever more available. Progressive activists mail the drugs illegally across the country with no consequences. 

The Wire reported that the drug companies Danco Labs and Genbiopro, were previously approved to distribute the life-ending drug. The FDA wrote to Evita Solutions on September 30 that it had “concluded that adequate information has been presented to demonstrate that the drug meets the requirements for approval.”

The FDA move is already drawing criticism from pro-life advocates who have long warned about the dangers of the drug. Kelsey Pritchard, the director of state affairs for SBA Pro-Life America, called the decision “reckless.”

“This does nothing to help and fix the problem that we have with abortion drugs and mail-order abortion drugs, and instead puts a cheap drug on the market so that more unborn lives are taken and more women and girls end up in the ER,” she told The Daily Wire. 

Pritchard said that the Trump administration should reinstate restrictions on the mailing of mifepristone that the Biden administration loosened. 

“This decision is not MAGA. It is not MAHA, adding a new life ending drug to the market doesn’t make America greater or healthier, and this is not something that we would expect, especially at this time,” she added, calling for pro-life Republicans to call out the decision.
