FDA Approves Generic Abortion Pill, Sparking Outrage From Conservatives. The FDA has approved a new generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, a move that quickly sparked backlash from anti-abortion groups. Evita Solutions, the drugmaker behind the low-cost pill, announced the approval for use in terminating pregnancies up to 10 weeks. The approval has been met with criticism from conservative figures, including Students for Life Action which called it “a stain on the Trump presidency” and a sign that the FDA’s leadership needs to be replaced. Republican Senator Josh Hawley also voiced his displeasure on social media, stating, “I have lost confidence in the leadership at the FDA.” The approval follows a letter from conservative figures, including Sen. Hawley, to Republican attorneys general calling for a full review of the pill’s safety by the FDA. [Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT]
