Last week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new abortion pill. Now, conservative lawmakers are demanding Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fire the bureaucrats responsible for approving the drug.

From the Daily Wire:

[Representative Mark] Harris told Kennedy that the FDA’s approval of Evita Solutions’ generic mifepristone, the drug used in over 60% of all abortions, ran contrary to the Trump administration’s pro-life record. Harris and his co-signers suggested that “rogue actors” in the FDA were responsible for the decision.

“The approval of a generic version of this dangerous drug not only contradicts the announced review but also runs directly counter to this Administration’s stated pro-life agenda,” the lawmakers wrote. “It is clear that rogue actors within the FDA are working to undermine both the sanctity of life and the Administration’s commitment to protecting it.”

They said that Kennedy should look at removing the officials responsible for the decision.

Representatives Harris, the leader of the group, sent Secretary Kennedy a letter. Representatives Josh Brecheen, Keith Self, Eli Crane, Paul Gosar, Chip Roy, Mary Miller, Andy Biggs, Barry Moore, Scott Perry, Ralph Normal Sheri Biggs, and Ben Cline co-signed.

We covered this story last Saturday. Though the FDA claimed it had “limited discretion in deciding whether to approve a generic drug,” it seemed strange that the agency would approve a drug after both Secretary Kennedy and FDA Administrator Dr. Marty Makary previously expressed an interest in reviewing the abortion pill.

The lawmakers called on Secretary Kennedy to oust the bureaucrats responsible for the drug’s approval, arguing it would “send a clear message that the lives of the unborn and the health of women will not be compromised by bureaucratic mismanagement or ideological activism.”

Whether rogue bureaucrats were responsible or not, this abortion pill should’ve never been approved. Let’s pray for an end to chemical abortions in our nation!
