Act now to save lives by ensuring access to mifepristone! TAKE ACTION

Dear Friend,

Imagine being denied FDA-approved medication that could save your life or ease your suffering. This is what people pushing junk science are attempting to make happen. The medication, mifepristone, is now being used to play politics with patient safety. 

Let’s demand that Congress focus on health, safety, and saving lives instead of on extremist agendas based on junk science!

Mifepristone is a medication that blocks the hormones progesterone and cortisol. Study after study show that it’s safely used for many health issues, including to end a pregnancy. It is often prescribed after a miscarriage  and is also given for treatment of endometriosis, fibroids, and Cushing syndrome, which can be fatal. [1]

Act now to urge our leaders in Congress to safeguard access to this vital medication! 

Despite being safer than Viagra, earlier this week, anti-abortionists testified before the U.S. Senate claiming to expose the alleged "dangers of mifepristone." [2]  But the truth is that mifepristone is supported by over 25 years of science. It has been used safely by over 7 million women, in the United States alone. [3]

In 2000, after rigorous review of the scientific evidence and a cautious regulatory approach, the FDA approved mifepristone for use. [4]  For a dozen years before this, mifepristone was already being used safely by women in Europe. [5]  More recently, the FDA approved a generic version of mifepristone twice, both times during Trump administrations, reaffirming what decades of research shows: mifepristone is safe and effective. [6]

Mifepristone is a lifesaving medication. It is backed by major medical associations including the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, and the Endocrine Society. A former president of the American Medical Association has stated it plainly: Reducing access to mifepristone would harm patients. [7,8,9]

We will not stop fighting for health care and the right to control our own bodies, lives, and futures. 

Thanks for standing with us,
