Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and 19 Republican Senate colleagues, plus 71 House Republicans, want the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban the use of Mifeprex, commonly known as RU-486, to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks after conception.
“It is by now nakedly obvious that the abortion industry and its allies in the media, billionaire philanthropic circles, and special interest groups have wanted an unregulated and de-medicalized abortion pill since the moment the FDA first approved it in 2000,” Cruz and the others told FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn in a Sept. 1 letter.
