The Spin

This approval shows that the FDA properly follows scientific evidence and legal requirements. Career scientists evaluated the medication's safety and effectiveness, continuing decades of established regulatory processes. This expands affordable healthcare options for patients, while maintaining the same safety standards that have protected women for 25 years.

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.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 6% chance that mifepristone will become significantly restricted or illegal to prescribe for abortions across the United States before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
