Overview
- Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America said the president is the problem, according to a Wall Street Journal interview.
- Activists fault Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary for keeping Biden-era rules that let doctors prescribe mifepristone by telemedicine and send it by mail across state lines.
- Under Makary, the FDA left those rules in place, approved a generic version of mifepristone last fall, and has not delivered a promised safety study, which critics say widened access.
- SBA Pro-Life America plans to spend $160 million in upcoming races and will back only candidates who commit to national action on abortion policy.
- Conservative leaders say Republican-led states are challenging the administration in court because mail-order access undercuts their bans, and Dannenfelser says the White House treats abortion as a third rail.
