Josh Hawley talks to reporters at the U.S. Capitol on June 28 (Ashley Murray\/States Newsroom).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">WASHINGTON \u2014 Missouri U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley is ratcheting up pressure on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to finish a study into medication abortion and to change its prescribing guidelines, sending a letter to Commissioner Marty Makary on Wednesday that the pace of the review is \u201ctotally unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The letter came just one day after leading anti-abortion groups called on President Donald Trump to fire Makary, following a report from Bloomberg Law that he planned to delay the agency\u2019s review into mifepristone until past the November midterm elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hawley wrote in the two-page letter he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HawleyMO\/status\/1998806068974240199\/photo\/2\" target=\"_blank\">posted to social media<\/a> that it was \u201cunclear\u201d whether the FDA was actually conducting a review of the current prescribing guidelines and the safety of medication abortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThere are more abortions in America now than when Roe was still law,\u201d Hawley wrote, referring to the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling from the Supreme Court, which established the constitutional right to an abortion. \u201cAnd this is largely because of the chemical abortion drug and its generics, like the one you approved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hawley asked Makary to reply to three questions before Dec. 15, including whether the FDA is \u201cconducting a comprehensive safety review of mifepristone separate from the (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies) process,\u201d if Makary delayed any safety reviews of mifepristone and if the FDA has plans to revert prescribing guidelines to require in-person dispensing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">President Donald Trump, asked about the timeline during a roundtable at the White House, said he would find out whether the FDA was stalling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI\u2019ll find out. I\u2019ll ask them,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019re slow walking anything, but I\u2019ll find out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the FDA, said that \u201cFDA\u2019s comprehensive scientific reviews take the time necessary to get the science right, and that is what Dr. Makary is ensuring as part of the Department\u2019s commitment to gold-standard science and evidence-based reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Second day of pressure on Makary<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hawley\u2019s letter continued the public pressure campaign from anti-abortion organizations and lawmakers that began Tuesday when leaders at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America and Live Action\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/leaders-2-major-anti-abortion-groups-call-trumps-fda-chief-be-fired\" target=\"_blank\">called for Makary to be fired<\/a> over the Bloomberg Law\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/health-law-and-business\/fda-slow-walking-a-long-awaited-abortion-pill-safety-study\" target=\"_blank\">news story<\/a> reporting he had delayed the review of mifepristone over political considerations related to the midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Americans United for Life CEO John Mize released a statement after meeting with Makary, saying it \u201cis glaringly obvious that flawed political calculations\u201d have stalled the FDA\u2019s review of mifepristone, but not calling for him to lose his job over it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Access to mifepristone<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mifepristone is one of two pharmaceuticals used in medication abortion. It is approved for up to 10 weeks gestation and can be prescribed via telehealth and shipped to patients.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reducing or eliminating access to mifepristone has become a linchpin of the anti-abortion movement since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to an abortion in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Anti-abortion medical organizations, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Erin Morrow Hawley,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/us-supreme-court-rejects-attempt-limit-access-abortion-pill-6\" target=\"_blank\">tried unsuccessfully<\/a> to have the Supreme Court revert the prescribing guidelines for mifepristone in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Josh Hawley and Erin Morrow Hawley are married.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Numerous medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/dozens-friend-court-briefs-backing-abortion-pill-access-arrive-supreme-court\" target=\"_blank\">filed briefs<\/a> to the justices in that case attesting to the safety and efficacy of medication abortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe scientific evidence is overwhelming: major adverse events occur in less than 0.32% of patients,\u201d the groups wrote. \u201cThe risk of death is almost non-existent.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Sen.
