No agency is above the law. We are urging the Supreme Court to hold the FDA accountable.
The federal agency responsible for ensuring the safety of our food and drugs made a decision impacting hundreds of thousands of Americans based on studies it conceded were 'not adequate.' Yet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration plowed ahead anyway, pushing the use of mifepristone, a high-risk drug. That's why the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a lawsuit against the agency later today.
For example, one study showed an alarming rate of women needing hospitalization, which the FDA disregarded. Some studies were limited in their usefulness, often because of the lack of follow-up information, and some were largely irrelevant because they had evaluated outcomes for dispensing abortion drugs 'after in-person clinical assessment.
