According to an article from The Hill, the FDA has denied two citizen petitions pertaining to access to mifepristone, aka the abortion pill. Petitions came from both sides of the aisle, including a conservative group looking to restrict the drug’s use as well as a medical group looking to extend its use for a new indication. The agency’s denial means it will maintain its stance on abortion pills. First approved in 2000, mifepristone is used in combination with misoprostol during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy for termination.
