Fifty-three members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to the FDA to argue against Planned Parenthood's request that restrictions be removed from the distribution of the chemical abortion drug mifepristone.

Allowing the drug to be available without medical supervision will have dire consequences for women and children.” Click here for more.
