Ahead of SCOTUS Ruling, Entire Senate Democratic Caucus Backs Resolution Affirming Abortion Pill as Safe, Effective

“Law and policy governing access to lifesaving, time-sensitive medication abortion care in the United States should be equitable, transparent, and based on the best available peer- reviewed evidence-based science.” Read in HuffPost: Every Single Senate Democrat To Come Out In Support Of Abortion Pill Today, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) joined the entire Senate Democratic caucus in reintroducing a resolution affirming that the abortion medication mifepristone is safe and effective, and underscoring that law and policy related to the medication must be equitable, transparent, and based on the best available peer-reviewed evidence-based science. Kelly and the lawmakers first introduced this resolution in 2023, following the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade , which sparked attacks on reproductive rights across the country. Since then, 20 states have banned or restricted access to abortion care. The resolution comes hours before the Supreme Court’s administrative stay in Louisiana v. FDA is set to expire, which, without action, would uphold the Fifth Circuit’s ruling threatening millions of women’s access to mifepristone, even in states where abortion is legal. The resolution was endorsed by the following organizations: All* Above All, American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Reproductive Rights, EMAA Project, In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum, National Council of Jewish Women, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, National Network of Abortion Funds, National Partnership for Women and Families, National Women’s Law Center Action Fund, Physicians for Reproductive Health, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Power to Decide, and Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America).
