Question

Accepted Answer

Mifepristone was approved in 2000 and has 25 years of FDA safety data showing it's safe and effective for medication abortion through 10 weeks of pregnancy. Major complications occur in less than 0.4% of cases. This extensive safety record undermines claims by Kennedy and Makary that they need to "review safety"—the data already exists in FDA files, peer-reviewed studies, and international health organizations. The safety review pledge appears designed to delay or restrict access using political justifications dressed as scientific concern.
