The message:

Anti-abortion politicians are pressuring the FDA to make it harder for patients nationwide to get medication abortion – despite President Trump's promises on the campaign trail that he would not let the federal government interfere with abortion access. Not satisfied with banning abortion in more than a dozen states, these politicians are now going after mifepristone, a safe and effective medication used in most U.S. abortions.

Mifepristone has been safely used by millions of patients over the last 25 years, and most people having abortions in the U.S. choose medication abortion. More than a quarter of these patients get that care through telemedicine – but now, abortion opponents want the FDA to force every patient to travel in-person to a health center to pick up their mifepristone, despite overwhelming evidence that this medication is equally safe and effective whether patients fill their prescription at a health center, at a local pharmacy, or by mail.

Telemedicine makes abortion accessible, empowering people to safely get the care they need without having to travel hundreds of miles just to pick up a pill. And that is why stopping it is abortion opponents' top priority. In order to counter that pressure, President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. need to hear from us: Tell the Department of Health and Human Services to keep politics out of science and not impose new nationwide restrictions on medication abortion.

Subject No new nationwide restrictions on medication abortion

Millions of patients have used mifepristone for abortion and miscarriage care, and this medication has been proven safe time and again over the last 25 years. Yet anti-abortion groups continue to pressure the FDA to impose medically unnecessary restrictions on this essential medication. They know voters oppose abortion bans, so they are trying to cut off access and push care out of reach.

Requiring patients to pick up a pill in person would force some to travel hundreds of miles and spend money they cannot afford, without providing any safety or health benefits.

President Trump pledged on the campaign trail that he would not restrict abortion at the federal level, but any new FDA restrictions on mifepristone would break that promise, limiting access to medication abortion even in states where it's still legal – with no basis in science or safety. The administration must not block access to this essential health care.

Message Body

Please follow the science and the will of voters – don't cave into pressure from out of touch antiabortion zealots to take away access to this necessary health care.

Sincerely,
