Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has introduced legislation to ban the chemical abortion drug mifepristone and remove its approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

During a March 11 press conference on the legislation, Hawley said the bill would allow women to sue the manufacturer for alleged harms caused by the drug.
