I just signed a petition with the gender justice organization UltraViolet to call on the Biden administration to protect access to the abortion medication mifepristone. Outrageously, a Donald Trump-appointed federal judge just sided with anti-abortion extremists and ruled to disrupt the sale of mifepristone–in spite of scientific consensus that the pill is safe to use.
Mifepristone, a drug that can be used along with misoprostol to terminate pregnancy, was approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000. Despite its established record of efficacy and safety, anti-abortion extremists are hellbent on getting rid of it as they did Roe v. Wade.
And if they win, the effect will be devastating for all of us, not just those living in red states.
Every reputable medical organization, including American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Medical Association (AMA), has predicted that the country’s maternal mortality crisis will worsen without access to abortion care, including medication abortion.

The Biden Administration must step in to protect medication abortion!
As we expected, a Donald Trump-appointed federal judge just ruled in favor of anti-abortion extremists to disrupt the sale of the abortion pill mifepristone.
Sign the petition to urge the Biden-Harris Administration to ensure access to the FDA approved medication, mifepristone, and to take all necessary action to protect patients and providers.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Medication abortion care is a safe, effective, non-invasive option for ending an early pregnancy. Despite its 20-year track record of safety, an extreme anti-abortion judge has ruled in favor of anti-abortion idealogues and is seeking to impose a national ban on this medication. His decision ignores the evidence and seeks to remove FDA approved medication from the market. If this decision stands, it will severely limit options for safe, non-invasive early abortions, even in states where abortion is legal. This is judicial interference at its most extreme. We can’t allow anti-abortion politicians or judges to interfere with our freedom to make decisions about our health and lives.
Sign this petition to urge the Biden-Harris administration to take immediate action to ensure access to medication abortion.
