It’s “only common sense” that Making America Healthy Again means a realistic look at chemical abortion’s impact on women: Heartbeat.

July 21, 2025 / Bonni Hendley

Leaders in the pro-life pregnancy help movement are urging a renewed focus on women’s safety in light of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s comments that President Trump wants a safety study of the chemical abortion drug mifepristone. The FDA has steadily weakened safety standards for the drug, leading to rising concerns about health risks for women. Pro-life advocates and medical professionals argue that women are being put in danger by the lack of oversight, transparency, and mandatory reporting on adverse effects.

Key Points:

  1. Trump Calls for Mifepristone Safety Study:
    HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that President Trump wants a study on the safety of mifepristone, a key abortion drug, though no decision has been made on its regulation. Kennedy emphasized agreement with Trump on abortion-related values, including state regulation and ending late-term abortion.
  2. Weakened FDA Oversight Raises Concerns:
    Pro-life leaders criticize the FDA for removing safety measures, such as required in-person screenings and follow-ups, and for eliminating the need to report non-fatal adverse events. They argue this leaves women unprotected and vulnerable to severe complications.
  3. Chemical Abortions Linked to High Complication Rates:
    Studies cited by the Charlotte Lozier Institute show chemical abortions have higher risks than surgical abortions, including hemorrhaging, infection, and ER visits. Chemical abortions now account for the majority of abortions in the U.S., often occurring without medical supervision.
  4. Pro-Life Medical Leaders Demand Transparency and Accountability:
    Organizations like Heartbeat International call for full disclosure of the risks associated with mifepristone and insist on the need for informed consent and accurate data. They stress that women deserve safety and clarity, not politically motivated decisions by federal agencies.
