Eagle Forum is pleased to join Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America and 76 pro-life groups on a letter to acting United States Attorney General Todd Blanche, urging him to use his new position “to reverse the DOJ’s harmful stance of siding with the abortion drug industry.”
The Biden administration removed regulations on the abortion drug mifepristone including requirements for in-person office visits to determine gestational age. Such rollbacks of common-sense restrictions on the drug have harmed women. In addition, in 2025, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a generic version of the drug through a process that the Trump administration inherited but did not stop. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has promised to do a thorough safety review of mifepristone, although little progress has been seen on the effort. In the meantime, during the delay, millions of lives are being destroyed.
The letter highlights a nationwide survey that finds 7 in 10 American voters — including 57% of liberal voters — are in favor of in-person doctor visits before these drugs can be prescribed. Another survey found that one-third of pro-life voters will lack enthusiasm to vote or volunteer for campaigns if the GOP abandons pro-life views. The issue of life may well be the deciding factor in many elections in November.
“The pipeline of chemical abortion drugs undercuts the incredible progress that the pro-life movement has made protecting unborn babies and their mothers, with the assistance of the Trump Administration and pro-life leaders in Congress,” said Eagle Forum President Kris Ullman. “We are grateful to President Trump for nominating sound Supreme Court Justices who rightly ruled that the U.S. Constitution does not contain a right to abortion. We are pleased that Planned Parenthood was defunded last year. But the pro-abortion forces have pivoted their efforts to destroy life through the abortion pill. We urge the Trump administration to reverse the dangerous Biden-era relaxed regulations, support pro-life states that are seeking to uphold their laws, and to do all in their power to stop access to these drugs through the mail.”
Eagle Forum was founded by Phyllis Schlafly, a dynamic and charismatic leader who inspired countless women and men to participate in the process of self-government and public policy-making so that America will continue to be a land of individual liberty, with respect for the nuclear family, public and private virtue, and private enterprise. For nearly fifty years, Eagle Forum’s network of state organizations has led the charge to mobilize the grassroots to defend the founding principles of the United States.
