Review Bill

“The recent case about Mifepristone has nothing to do with science or medicine. This is the latest in a long-running effort by anti-choice Republicans to put the government in charge of our bodies and ban all abortion.”

Apr 8, 2023

View Post

“Mifepristone has been more than 99% safe,effective, & approved by the FDA for decades, but an extreme Republican judge is ignoring the advice of the American Medical Association & American College of Obstetricians because of the political demand to ban abortion nationwide.”

Apr 8, 2023

View Post

“Republicans are using the courts to sidestep the will of the American people & decimate abortion care in all 50 states. Americans are strongly pro-choice & already rejected their extreme agenda at the ballot box last fall. (Remember Kansas?!)”
