"EVERYONE KNOWS I WOULD NOT SUPPORT A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, AND WOULD, IN FACT, VETO IT."

A national abortion ban is "just not a reality."

Trump "has been very clear that he will NOT sign a federal ban when he is back in the White House."

"I don't think we'll get 60 votes in the Senate for any kind of national legislation [on a federal abortion ban]."

"[U]nless something really unusual happens in this election, neither side is going to have the votes in Congress to pass a national law [on abortion]."

Many elected Republicans "support policies that would devastate our communities, including potentially a nationwide abortion ban."

"[I]f Republicans get into power, they will not hesitate to push for a national abortion ban."

"There is very little doubt that Trump will sign a national abortion ban."

"[I]f Donald Trump were to be re-elected, he will sign a national abortion ban."

If Donald Trump wins the election, "there will be an abortion ban in our country; that's a guarantee."

It was revealed Thursday that Evita Solutions, which filed its application for generic mifepristone approval in Oct. 2021, gained approval Tuesday although the FDA typically aims to approve generic drug applications within 10 months.

In the face of criticism from prolife figures and organizations, HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon stated that the FDA has "very limited discretion" in generic drug approvals because it must approve applications demonstrating identical formulation to branded products.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explained that federal law requires approval when generics prove identical to brand drugs. Previously, he told Republican state attorneys general that the FDA would be reconsidering mifepristone's safety.

The FDA's approval of a second generic mifepristone represents the agency properly following scientific evidence and legal requirements. Career scientists evaluated the medication's safety and effectiveness, continuing decades of established regulatory processes. This decision expands affordable healthcare options for patients while maintaining the same safety standards that have protected women for 25 years.

The FDA's reckless approval of another deadly abortion pill endangers women and children while undermining state pro-life laws.
