Oppose Congressional Attempts to Restrict Mifepristone (Mifeprex)
In one of the most significant advances in women's reproductive health
in decades, on September 28, 2000 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
granted final approval to mifepristone (formerly known as RU 486) for
the termination of very early pregnancy.
Anti-choice lawmakers, led by Rep. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Sen. Tim
Hutchinson (R-AR), immediately denounced the FDA decision and introduced
bills designed to continue to block Mifeprex's availability to U.S.
women. Senators and Representatives need to hear your strong opposition
to this misguided legislation.
The legislation would severely restrict the providers who can prescribe
Mifeprex, undermining mifepristone's promise to expand women's ability
to make reproductive-health decisions with privacy and dignity. The
effect of the bills' restrictions will be that in many cities women will
continue to endure the anti-choice intimidation, harassment, and even
violence that sometimes surround abortion clinics.
FDA approval is the universally recognized gold standard of a drug's
safety and efficacy. In attempting to re-write the FDA's approval of
Mifeprex, anti-choice legislators are inserting congressional politics
into matters properly delegated to FDA scientists and doctors.
In a matter of seconds, you can send an e-mail to your Senators and
Representative to urge them to oppose this misguided legislation. To

threatening your reproductive rights, go to
