is once again spreading misinformation about the abortion pill mifepristone, and has taken his campaign a step further by introducing legislation to ban it. Advertisement“We are here today to issue a call to action,” Hawley said at a press conference announcing the bill. AdvertisementIt makes sense that anti-abortion advocates have set their sights on the pill: Medication abortion (the combination of mifepristone and another drug, misoprostol) now accounts for at least 63% of all abortion care since the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade. Yet again, Hawley pointed to a junk science report published last year by the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative think tank and advisory board member of Project 2025. Last year, he introduced a law to ban the mailing of abortion pills and pushed the FDA to review the safety of mifepristone, citing the EPPC’s junk science report.
