Dear Friend,
Imagine being denied FDA-approved medication that could save your life or
ease your suffering. This is what people pushing junk science are
attempting to make happen. The medication, mifepristone, is now being used
to play politics with patient safety.
[ [link removed] ]Let’s demand that Congress focus on health, safety, and saving lives
instead of on extremist agendas based on junk science!
Mifepristone is a medication that blocks the hormones progesterone and
cortisol. Study after study show that it’s safely used for many health
issues, including to end a pregnancy. It is often prescribed after a
miscarriage and is also given for treatment of endometriosis, fibroids,
and Cushing syndrome, which can be fatal. [1]
[ [link removed] ]Act now to urge our leaders in Congress to safeguard access to this
vital medication!
Despite being safer than Viagra, earlier this week, anti-abortionists
testified before the U.S. Senate claiming to expose the alleged "dangers
of mifepristone." [2] But the truth is that mifepristone is supported by
over 25 years of science. It has been used safely by over 7 million women,
in the United States alone. [ [link removed] ]
In 2000, after rigorous review of the scientific evidence and a cautious
regulatory approach, the FDA approved mifepristone for use. [ [link removed] ] For a
dozen years before this, mifepristone was already being used safely by
women in Europe. [ [link removed] ] More recently, the FDA approved a generic version of
mifepristone twice, both times during Trump administrations, reaffirming
what decades of research shows: mifepristone is safe and effective. [ [link removed] ]
Mifepristone is a lifesaving medication. It is backed by major medical
associations including the American College of Obstetricians &
Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, and the Endocrine
Society. A former president of the American Medical Association has stated
it plainly: Reducing access to mifepristone would harm patients. [7,8,9]

science agendas.
We will not stop fighting for health care and the right to control our own
bodies, lives, and futures.
