Rep. Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Thursday that it was no surprise President Joe Biden gave a one-on-one interview with Judy Woodruff of PBS.

In the interview, Biden blamed classified documents being found at his home and former office on former staffers who packed up his old offices.

"No, it's no coincidence. Everything that's thrown to him, except from Republicans, are softball questions," Harshbarger said on "John Bachman Now."

WASHINGTON (WJHL) — Rep. Diana Harshbarger has introduced a bill to restrict the availability of the abortion pill mifepristone.

Mifepristone is taken with another drug, misoprostol, to terminate pregnancies up to 10 weeks.

Harshbarger’s bill would roll back a recent ruling by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowing the pill to be dispensed by retail and mail-order pharmacies. Previously, mifepristone could only be picked up in person at specialty clinics and doctor’s offices.

Representatives Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01) and Kevin Hern (R-OK-01) introduced a bill Tuesday in the U.S. House of Representatives to invalidate the FDA’s recently-updated Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) of mifepristone, a chemical abortion drug.

Mifepristone is a chemical drug treatment that works together with misoprostol to end a pregnancy through ten weeks gestation, according to the FDA.

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.

As the representative of Tennessee’s first congressional district, 2022 was a year full of worthy policy battles, victories for East Tennessee, and further connecting with my constituency, or as I say, my friends and neighbors.

This year, Republicans were outnumbered in the House and Senate, and a career liberal sat in the Oval Office. Our struggles to lower government spending, protect our borders, defend the family unit, and protect the unborn were battles fought uphill, both ways, in the snow!

To a Massachusetts mother, the latest shortage hitting Joe Biden’s America triggered an effort that was “beyond hellacious.”

To pharmacist and Republican Rep. Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, the crisis is a “national security threat.”

And to a Minnesota doctor, the shortage of the form of amoxicillin needed to treat many bacterial infections in children is unprecedented.
