TAKE ACTION: The FDA Must Pull the Abortion Pill

A Letter from Center for Christian Virtue Senior Fellow for Strategic Initiatives Peter Range.

The Ethics and Public Policy Center just published the largest study of the abortion pill ever done, and its results are devastating.

The study found that over 1 in 10 women who take the abortion pill (mifepristone) suffer serious, sometimes life-threatening complications at a rate 22 times higher than the FDA's claim of just 0.5 percent. 

The abortion pill is deadly. It kills hundreds of thousands of babies made in God's image and likeness each year in the United States. For this reason alone, it needs to be opposed.

Yet, we've been told by pro-abortion opponents and even the FDA that it is a perfectly safe medicine for women to take. But we know it's not medicine. It's a lethal drug that kills children, and now we know more clearly it is harming mothers at much higher rates than what has been reported. 

The FDA has a responsibility to take this dangerous drug off the market. Unfortunately, due to partisan politics that sided with the abortion industry, the Biden Administration removed all restrictions on the use of the drug:

Now it's time for the FDA under the Trump Administration to reverse course.

To measure just how dangerous the "pill" is, the study analyzed data from all-payer insurance claims that includes 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023. The findings show that 10.93 percent of women experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion, which again is at least 22 times as high as the summary figure reported on the drug label. 

The FDA needs to step in today to take this deadly drug off the market. 

Take Action

Join me today and email your US Representative and US Senator, as well as Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and FDA Commissioner Martin Makary, MD, to revoke the FDA approval for the abortion pill—also known as mifepristone.

Thank you for fighting for life with me. It's time the FDA acts to protect babies in the womb–and their mothers!

For Life,

Peter
