RFK Jr. is ordering the FDA to review regulations around the highly prescribed abortion pill mifepristone, citing a new study that experts have called “fatally flawed” and “junk science.” The ACLU said Kennedy is trying to “make it harder for people to get medication abortions based on propaganda pushed out by a Project 2025 sponsor,” while leaving the final decision on the matter to Trump. The ACLU added, “We should all be scared if our access to safe, FDA-approved medications turns on President Trump’s gut instinct rather than credible scientific evidence.”
In another blow for abortion rights, South Carolina’s Supreme Court has upheld the state’s six-week abortion ban, which outlaws nearly all abortions.
