Senators: Protect Safe Access to Mifepristone — Don’t Let Politics Override Science

Right now, the abortion pill Mifepristone is under renewed attack from the highest levels of government. Despite 25 years of FDA approval, experts warn that recent moves by political appointees threaten to undo decades of progress. In recent public statements, critics casting doubt on Mifepristone are misrepresenting medical evidence.

This isn’t abstract — these aren’t academic debates. The Health Secretary has formally ordered the FDA to review Mifepristone's safety protocols, even citing a study widely condemned by medical experts as “junk science.” If the Senate fails to act, access could be restricted or banned in future regulatory decisions.

Globally, nearly 100 countries approve Mifepristone, and the World Health Organization lists it as an essential medicine because of its proven safety, effectiveness, and role in reducing unsafe abortions.

This moment is urgent. The Senate has oversight power over FDA funding, confirmations, appropriations, and regulations — exactly where scientific integrity must be defended against political interference. Strong public pressure now can force Senators to act and head off dangerous restrictions.

The Senate must stand firm: protect Mifepristone, shield the FDA from political meddling, and defend access to safe reproductive healthcare. Send your letter now and tell your Senator: Don’t politicize medicine — trust the science.
