RFK Jr. Directs FDA to Study the Safety of Abortion Pills

Emily Mangiaracina : Oct 2, 2025  LifeSiteNews.com

The abortion pill has a high rate of serious adverse events for the women who take it, aside from killing pre-born children.

Kennedy shared earlier this year that President Donald Trump requested he conduct a study of the pill's safety for women. As Lila Rose of Live Action has noted, "A drug designed to starve preborn babies to death can never be considered "safe."

Kennedy announced the safety study together with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary in a September 19 letter to Republican attorneys general, writing, "Through the FDA, HHS will conduct a study of the safety of the current (safety protocol), in order to determine whether modifications are necessary," Axios reported.

Given that about two-thirds of all abortions in the US are now chemical—the vast majority using a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol—if further restrictions on the abortion pill are enacted, abortions in the country could significantly drop.

Kennedy pledged earlier this year to ask Makary to conduct a safety study of the abortion pill when pressed by lawmakers. Sen. Hawley asked if Kennedy was aware of the Ethics and Public Policy's recent study that showed nearly 11 percent of women in the US who take mifepristone suffer serious adverse events, a rate 22 times higher than what is reported on the drug label. 

"It's alarming," Kennedy replied, adding that it "validates" previous studies and "at the very least, the label should be changed."

Twenty-two state attorneys general recently urged Kennedy to carry out this study, stating, "Based 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."...
