Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed it will conduct a study on the real-world harms of abortion drugs, responding to an inquiry last month from Republican attorneys general about the Biden administration’s rollback of safety protocols.
Under Biden, the FDA scrapped in-person dispensing requirements – opening the door to mail-order abortion drugs with no physical exam, medical oversight or safeguards, or even confirmation that a woman is ordering the drugs.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued the following statement:
“We’re encouraged that the Trump administration is conducting this study and taking women’s real experiences seriously. Behind the mounting scientific evidence are real tragedies – women and girls suffering life-threatening complications, mothers coerced and poisoned, and even some dying alongside their babies.
“At the very least, basic safety protocols must be reinstated, and abortion drugs must be taken out of the mail while these studies are underway.
“Biden’s FDA exploited COVID-19 to gut safeguards, greenlighting mail-order abortion drugs with no in-person exam, medical oversight or even confirmation that the drugs are being ordered by the woman herself rather than an abuser or trafficker.  Biden’s recklessness must be stopped now.”
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
