Nearly all GOP U.S. senators made their concerns surrounding chemical abortion pills known to the nation’s leading federal health directors this week, asserting that the pills both threaten the health of mothers and undermine states’ rights.
In an October 9 letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 51 senators, including Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), requested that the agencies halt the distribution of such abortion products until a “comprehensive review” is conducted.
