Washington, D.C. – Today the leading pro-life group SBA Pro-Life America called for U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary to be fired amid reports that he has slow-walked a promised safety study of women’s real-world experiences taking abortion drugs.
Peer-reviewed research found three quarters of ER visits within 30 days after abortion drug use were coded as severe or critical. Two separate, independent studies also found more than 1 in 10 women experience at least one severe adverse event. Complications can include hemorrhaging, infection, sepsis, and even death.
In the months since Makary promised the safety review, women have come forward after being poisoned by abusers. In Ohio, a medical resident has been criminally indicted for obtaining abortion drugs online by fraud and forcing them into his pregnant girlfriend’s mouth.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued the following statement:
“Enough is enough: FDA Commissioner Makary should be fired immediately. The FDA is doing nothing while every single day abortion drugs take the lives of children, put women and girls at serious risk, empower abusers and trample state pro-life laws. The FDA needs a new commissioner who will immediately reinstate in-person dispensing as it existed under President Trump’s first term and immediately conduct a comprehensive study. Commissioner Makary is severely undermining President Trump and Vice President Vance’s pro-life credentials and their position that states should have the right to enact and enforce pro-life protections. Makary must go.”
In a September hearing, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed Biden’s FDA ‘twisted’ data to bury safety signals on mifepristone. Yet the FDA went on to quietly approve a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone, even as Joe Biden’s COVID-era mail-order abortion policy remains inexplicably in effect, putting women and unborn children at risk and undermining state pro-life laws.
A large national poll found 7 in 10 voters want to roll back Biden’s mail-order abortion drug rule and reinstate safeguards like in-person doctor visits.
Following a letter in October from 51 U.S. senators to the FDA and HHS calling to reinstate commonsense safeguards on abortion drugs, 175 House GOP representatives also sent a letter demanding answers from Secretary Kennedy and Commissioner Makary.
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.
