Citizen Petition from American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

An individual commenter opposes the FDA's proposal to weaken safety protocols and remove Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMs) requirements for mifepristone. They argue that the drug poses significant risks to women's health and should be subject to strict regulation and robust safety measures.

Dr. Eric Hussar, representing the American Academy of Medical Ethics, opposes the removal of restrictions on mifepristone. He argues that the proposed action endangers women and babies, citing newer data that suggests a significantly higher rate of severe side effects than previously reported.

The commenter, a nurse and member of Silent No More, argues that Mifepristone is dangerous and causes severe psychological and spiritual trauma for parents who undergo abortions. She advocates for supportive measures such as food, housing, and emotional support for pregnant individuals instead of abortion access.
