Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone

The bill would ban mifepristone for abortion use and allow women who took it to sue drugmakers, citing safety concerns and reports of serious complications, with 100,000 abortions monthly in 2025.

  • Senator Josh Hawley introduced the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortions Act to ban mifepristone by withdrawing its FDA approval and allowing women harmed by the drug to sue manufacturers.
  • Mifepristone is widely used for abortions in the U.S., with FDA rules relaxed to allow mail delivery and telehealth prescriptions, raising safety concerns.
  • Studies and personal accounts indicate that over 10% of women using mifepristone experience serious complications, including hemorrhaging, infections, and psychological trauma.
  • Hawley criticized manufacturers and the FDA for prioritizing profits over safety and urged Congress to act due to the lack of reinstated restrictions.
