President Trump has nominated Dr. Heidi Overton to become the next commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Overton is an abortion opponent who celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade as a “huge victory.” Last week, she joined a signing ceremony for Trump’s executive order slashing the childhood vaccine schedule. Women’s health groups warn Overton could seek to further restrict access to medications used in abortions, including mifepristone.
