22 attorneys general sent a letter to Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf requesting the FDA revisit its decision to allow pharmacies to distribute abortion pills. “The Food and Drug Administration’s decision to abandon commonsense restrictions on remotely prescribing and administering abortion-inducing drugs is both illegal and dangerous,” wrote Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. The letter implored the FDA “to reverse [their] decision.”
From The Daily Wire:
“Though the FDA has abdicated its responsibility to protect women’s health, we have not. To be crystal clear, you have not negated any of our laws that forbid the remote prescription, administration, and use of abortion-inducing drugs,” the attorneys general wrote. ... The reactions from Marshall and other state leaders came after a recent update by the FDA stating that major pharmacy chains would be allowed to provide two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, prescribed for medical abortions. CVS and Walgreens, the nation’s two largest pharmacy franchises, have since noted plans to participate in the new program from the FDA.
