Senator Hawley Voices Concerns Over New Abortion Drug Approval
Washington, D.C. – Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is raising serious questions about the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) recent decision to approve another chemical abortion drug. Hawley argues that the FDA’s actions endanger women’s health and show the growing influence of groups pushing for easier access to abortion.
The Senator voiced his concerns that the FDA approved the drug without the thorough safety review it had promised. He also noted that the company involved in the approval, Evita Solutions, has publicly stated its goal to “normalize abortion” and believes everyone should have access to it.
“This is shocking,” Hawley stated. “The FDA has just approved another chemical abortion drug, even though evidence shows these drugs can be dangerous, even deadly, for the mother. And, of course, they are always lethal for the unborn child.”
Hawley added that the FDA’s actions make him question their leadership. He said the agency had promised a complete safety review of chemical abortion drugs, but instead, they are approving new versions for distribution.
The approval of the new drug comes as conservative lawmakers and groups are increasingly worried about the safety and availability of abortion drugs. They argue that these drugs should be subject to stricter regulations to protect women’s health and that the rights of the unborn should be protected.
Religious and conservative organizations have been actively campaigning against the drug, urging lawmakers to ensure accountability and reinstate safety measures. They believe that the current administration’s policies, which allow for telehealth prescriptions and mail-order delivery of abortion pills, put women at risk. Previously, women were required to receive the drug in person to screen for potential complications.
Senator Hawley believes the FDA should return to the safety regulations that were in place under the Trump administration. He argues that protecting women’s health and the lives of unborn children should be a top priority.
