Mifepristone and Misoprostol, the two drugs used in a medication abortion, are seen at the Women's Reproductive Clinic in Santa Teresa, N.M.The abortion pill mifepristone is safe enough that retail pharmacies can begin dispensing it so long as a certified health care provider prescribes the drug and if that pharmacy meets certain requirements, according toIf pharmacies jump on board, the FDA action could dramatically expand access to the drug in states where it's already legal.
Evan Masingill, CEO of GenBioPro, which manufactures the generic version of the abortion pill, called the FDA action "a step in the right direction" to increase access and one that would "minimize the burden" on the health care system. But he noted the impact would be uneven. Kirsten Moore, director of the Expanding Medication Abortion Access Project, said it's not clear how quickly Americans might see an impact or how sweeping those changes might be. Pharmacies would have to raise their hand to become certified to fill prescriptions for the drug, and even then some pharmacists might refuse to dispense the pill personally because of religious objections.
Opponents of abortion rights said a top priority this year is challenging the FDA's approval of the drug in court and trying to convince the government to crack down on unregulated sites selling the pill online. In one closely watched case in a federal court in Texas, the Alliance for Defending Freedom argued the FDA overstepped its authority in greenlighting the drug more than two decades ago.
Absolutely mindblowing. So we can get the abortion pill, but not IVERMECTIN. One's a life taker and the other a lifesaver and which one wins? The lifetaker.
