On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration quietly approved a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone. The drug is produced by Evita Solutions LLC, a company that describes its mission as being to “normalize abortion” and make it “accessible to all.”
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued the following statement:
“This reckless decision by the FDA to expand the availability of abortion drugs is unconscionable. These dangerous drugs take the lives of unborn children, place women and underage girls at serious risk, empower abusers, and trample the pro-life laws enacted by states across the nation.
“In September, Secretary Kennedy said the Biden administration ‘twisted the data to bury one of the safety signals.’ Secretary Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Makary assured Congress and the American people they would conduct a thorough review given credible evidence of the harm inflicted by these drugs. The prompt completion of the review is made more urgent given this approval to flood the market with a cheap abortion drug.

“The FDA must, at a minimum, immediately reinstate the commonsense safeguards that were in place during President Trump’s first term. In particular, the Biden-era policy of removing doctors by allowing mail-order abortion drugs without in-person medical oversight must be reversed without delay. Women are endangered by taking the drugs without a sonogram to check for ectopic pregnancy and confirm the gestational age of the child.
“President Trump believes states have the right to pass and enforce pro-life protections. Yet every day this right is being trampled upon by the abortion industry.”
Last month, Kennedy cited data from the Foundation for the Restoration of America and the Ethics & Public Policy Center showing 11% of women experience severe adverse events like hemorrhaging, infection and sepsis. On Sept. 19, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed it will conduct a study on the real-world harms of abortion drugs, responding to an inquiry last month from Republican attorneys general about the Biden administration’s rollback of safety protocols.
With abortion drugs now accounting for 63% of all abortions, the drugs are responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans. Since the FDA scrapped in-person dispensing requirements for mifepristone, a growing number of women have been poisoned by abortion drugs unknowingly by abusive partners. Others have been pressured or coerced by boyfriends or family members. Some women have experienced deadly complications from the abortion drug regimen.
