Key Takeaways:

• In 2016, the Obama administration began weakening the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation System (REMS) safety requirements for mifepristone (the abortion pill).
• The Biden-Harris administration followed suit, making abortion pills even more readily available by mail-order and pharmacy distribution.
• Recent studies have stated that the complication rate for chemical abortions is significantly higher than previously reported.
• Six pro-life groups are asking HHS head Robert F. Kennedy, Jr (RFK) and FDA head Dr. Martin Makary to consider reinstating the FDA's previous abortion pill safeguards.

The Details:

Six pro-life groups sent a letter to both RFK and Makary, urging HHS and FDA to analyze the dangers posed by the abortion pill. The groups that signed the letter represent over 30,000 medical professionals—the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), the American College of Pediatricians (ACPedS), the American College of Family Medicine (ACFM), the Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), the Coptic Medication Association of North America (CMANA), and the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM).

"Americans must be able to trust that no matter what, the FDA will rely on the most robust safety standards before and after approving any drug and that they can have truly informed consent by knowing what the risks to taking FDA-approved drugs are," the groups stated. "Unfortunately, the latest data strongly suggests that hundreds of thousands of women have been harmed by mifepristone while believing that it is 'safer than Tylenol.'"

The letter noted that the more recent studies should be examined, with the HHS and FDA conducting their own evaluations on the dangers of the abortion pill. Additionally, the groups urged the FDA to reinstate the pre-2016 REMS standards, which would limit the use of the drug to seven weeks' gestation, require patients to obtain the pills in-person with follow-up appointments, and require reporting of even non-fatal adverse events.

Why It Matters—As Live Action News previously noted:

Decades ago, the abortion industry began encouraging women to lie about their abortion pill complications when visiting the ER.

This protected the drug instead of the women themselves, and led to the rollback of safeguards surrounding the drug.

This deception, in turn, has misled other women—and the rest of the public—about the drug's actual risks.

Abortion pill prescribers offload their patients to ERs, encouraging women to lie if injured [which means that] neither prescribers nor ER personnel learn the truth about the [abortion pill's] adverse events.

[Then] no one reports those adverse events to the manufacturer [so that] the manufacturer never learns of the adverse events to report to [the] FDA [and] the FDA stays in the dark about true complications, impacting safeguards.

What this indicates is that a massive coverup began decades ago to hide the true impact of the drug's complications from the public, the manufacturer, and the FDA. This puts women at risk... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
