RESOLUTION

Urging the Director of the Food and Drug Administration to reevaluate 
the safety of all chemical abortion drugs in light of recent 
independent studies, and for other purposes.

Whereas the Obama administration expanded access to chemical abortion drugs by 
removing in-person administration requirements, eliminating requirements 
for prescribers to report serious adverse effects, and removing follow-
up care obligations;
Whereas the Biden administration further expanded access to chemical abortion 
drugs by removing in-person dispensing requirements, permitting these 
drugs to be distributed by mail;
Whereas the expansion of access to chemical abortion drugs has raised serious 
concerns regarding potential violations of Federal law, increased risks 
of coercion and domestic abuse, and even intentional misuse resulting in 
harm or death;
Whereas chemical abortions now account for more than half of all abortions 
performed in the United States;
Whereas many providers prescribing chemical abortion drugs receive taxpayer 
funding, raising ethical and legal concerns regarding the use of public 
funds;
Whereas, on September 30, 2025, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new 
generic version of mifepristone, further expanding the availability of 
chemical abortion drugs;
Whereas this approval will likely contribute to a significant increase in the 
number of unborn children lost to abortion, and poses a risk of 
potential physical and emotional harm to women and girls, while 
undermining pro-life laws enacted by numerous States; and
Whereas independent research suggests that chemical abortions carry a rate of 
serious complications that is 22 times higher than what is currently 
reported by the Food and Drug Administration and drug manufacturers: 
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges the Director of 
the Food and Drug Administration--
(1) to reevaluate the safety of all chemical abortion drugs 
in light of recent independent studies; and
(2) to publicly release a full safety review of such drugs 
that includes real-world outcomes and complications.
