Senate Republicans launch probe of abortion pill makers, escalate pressure on FDA
Senate Republicans seek detailed compliance records from all FDA-approved abortion pill makers and urge enforcement against illegal online sales posing health and safety risks.
- On Wednesday, Senate Republicans launched an investigation into abortion pill manufacturers, calling on the Food and Drug Administration to crack down on online sales of mifepristone.
- Senator Bill Cassidy, chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, leads the probe as lawmakers including Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith argue the drug requires scrutiny given more than 1 in 10 women experience serious adverse events.
- Lawmakers sent letters to Danco Laboratories, GenBioPro, and Evita Solutions demanding vendor compliance data and prescriber audits, questioning why prescriptions are issued beyond the FDA-approved 10-week limit.
- Republicans demanded the FDA utilize enforcement tools including warning letters and shipment interdiction, while a Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson said the agency is conducting a safety study of mifepristone's prescribing standards.
- The investigation follows a report claiming over 1.1 million U.S. abortions in 2025, with 26% growth in mail-order drug abortions, as conservatives argue these trends undermine state protections.
