Republicans are still pissed that the FDA approved telemedicine prescriptions of the drug in April 2021, following the height of the covid pandemic, and also that, in 2016, the agency approved the pill for use for up to 10 weeks. In 2023, mifepristone comprised nearly two-thirds of all abortions, which the GOP is also obviously pissed about. Project 2025 specifically says that one of its goals is to reverse the FDA's approval of the pill.

The Trump administration's request to dismiss the mifepristone lawsuit appears as a defense of the drug, despite the president's history of rolling back abortion rights.

Our data shows that chemical abortion poses greater risks to women in real-world clinical use than revealed in the clinical trials of mifepristone and that the rate of serious adverse events from the chemical abortion regimen continues to grow in recent years.
