This reckless approval gives the go-ahead to a company that vows to "normalize" abortion to continue endangering women and children and undermining state pro-life laws. These dangerous drugs can cause serious harm to mothers and their unborn children. By approving this drug, the FDA has completely failed and opened the chance there will be more deaths and suffering across America.
