Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups.
The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug’s widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023.
But mifepristone, which when combined with the drug misoprostol can end pregnancies at up to 70 days of gestation, has become a major target of the anti-abortion movement. President Trump has sought to satisfy those anti-abortion voices by launching an FDA review of the drug, which has not been completed.
Hawley says the ability of doctors to prescribe the drug across state lines has led to rampant abuse and alleges that incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug’s maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.

And someone should introduce legislation to ban Viagara (and it's generics) to keep these dickless morons from trying to spray their defective seed at anything that moves.

Because, you know, those women need to produce more babies for your white, Evangelical, racist utopia.
Jeebus I FUCKING HATE these fucking ASSHOLES.
All it does is stop the government from having any control or oversight in the production of the drug.
We tried this already in 1919 with Prohibition. Remember how that turned out?
