EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans Introduce Bill to Nullify FDA Rule Change on Abortion Pills

January 17, 2023

A group of House Republicans have introduced a bill to place restrictions on chemical abortion pills. If enacted, access to abortion pills would be limited to in-person distribution.  

The legislation would nullify recent rule changes from President Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration that allows the abortion drug regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol to be prescribed to women via telemedicine and delivered by mail, and gives pharmacies permission to fill prescriptions for abortion drugs. 

“The FDA’s policy change for mifepristone is the latest example of President Biden’s crusade toward abortion on demand at any cost, even at the expense of women’s health,” Rep. Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn., told The Daily Signal.
