This bill intends to restrict medical abortions simply because its authors do not personally approve of abortion. Making access to safe and effective medical abortions more difficult is not in the interests of American women. Mifepristone provides a vital alternative to women who want an early alternative to surgical abortion. This legislation would take medical and science-based decisions out of the hands of doctors and give these decisions to members of Congress. The passage of this bill would be a step backward in providing women with all the safe and effective options available when they are deciding whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term.
Mifepristone is a valuable option that was denied to American women for far too long.
Restricting access to this valuable drug without scientific cause, and in contradiction with FDA rulings, would be an unprecedented interference by the legislature into a scientific agency's jurisdiction. I hope you will oppose this dangerous and unnecessary legislation. All rights reserved. Other copyrights may also apply. Unauthorized duplication is prohibited.
