John,

Back in February, we told you exactly what RFK Jr. and Donald Trump's administration had planned: to target medication abortion and push us closer to a national abortion ban.

Today, RFK Jr. confirmed our fears. During a U.S. Senate hearing, he falsely claimed the data on mifepristone was "twisted" — a dangerous signal that he's preparing to restrict or even revoke access to this safe, widely used medication.

Tweet from American Bridge 21st Century: "RFK Jr. suggests that data on mifepristone was “twisted” to make it look safer than it was. Hes inching closer to implementing the #Project2025 agenda to ban Mifepristone and further restrict abortion for millions of women."

This is why we have to act decisively. The only way to protect abortion rights is to elect Democratic pro-choice women at every level of government — women who will fight back against Trump and RFK Jr.'s extremist agenda.

We knew this was coming. Now, we need to respond with everything we've got.

John,

The GOP wants a national abortion ban, plain and simple. And with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. now confirmed as head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, they've taken a massive step toward making that a reality.

Under this corrupt and chaotic presidential administration, EMILYs List women will be the frontline defense for abortion access across the country. Donate today to keep this critical work going:

In his new position, RFK Jr. has direct control over the FDA and, more dangerously, the future of mifepristone, a safe and effective abortion medication that has been used for decades. Donald Trump has already given him marching orders to look into it — and during his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr. suggested he might revoke FDA approval of the drug.

We know exactly what that means: this is just the next step of the GOP's relentless push to strip away reproductive rights, state by state, ruling by ruling, until abortion access is gone entirely.

RFK Jr. admitted that he'll follow Trump's lead on abortion policy, stating "Whatever he does, I will implement those policies." That's a chilling promise — and a direct threat to millions of Americans' fundamental freedoms.

Because here's the truth: The vast majority of Americans are pro-choice. Now, the only thing standing between us and a national abortion ban is a strong firewall of Democratic pro-choice women in office: Democratic attorneys general who can file suit against illegal executive orders, Democratic members of Congress who can hold figures like Trump and RFK Jr. accountable, Democratic governors who can take them to court, and Democratic pro-choice women at every level of government who can fight for reproductive rights everywhere.
