Wyoming Senators Join Colleagues Urging FDA to Reevaluate Abortion Pill Approval

Senators from Wyoming are pushing back on the FDA’s approval of a generic abortion pill, citing safety concerns.

Wyoming senators Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso joined Republican colleagues in sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary and FDA Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary.

The Senators are urging the HHS and FDA to review the decision to approve a generic version of mifepristone, the leading drug used to perform chemical abortions.

The FDA officials have defended their decision to approve the drug, which is meant to be rooted in science and independent of political bias.

The Republican senators are saying the drug should be suspended until the safety review is conducted.
