119-sres-732119th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that over 25 years of real-world evidence and hundreds of peer-reviewed studies proving that mifepristone is safe and effective should be respected, and law and policy governing access to lifesaving, time-sensitive medication abortion care in the United States should be equitable, transparent, and based on the best available peer-reviewed evidence-based science.

Sponsored By: Senator Warren, Elizabeth [D-MA]

Introduced

Summary

This resolution would urge FDA and Congress to base mifepristone policy on peer‑reviewed science and to protect and expand access to mifepristone, including telemedicine and pharmacy or mail dispensing. It frames federal regulation and any Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies as tools that must weigh benefits against burdens on patient access.

Show full summary
  • Patients and families: Would support keeping telemedicine visits and certified pharmacy or mail dispensing options so eligible patients can obtain mifepristone without extra travel. Medication abortion made up 63 percent of all abortions in 2023.
  • Health care providers and pharmacies: Highlights FDA's 2021–2023 REMS changes that removed an in‑person dispensing requirement and allowed certified pharmacies and prescribers to dispense by mail or in person. It emphasizes continued evidence from clinical trials and studies since 2023 showing safety and efficacy.
  • Public health and equity: States that restrictions and ongoing lawsuits, plus bans in 20 states, increase travel, wait times, and privacy risks and disproportionately harm Black and Indigenous people, people of color, immigrants, low‑income and rural communities, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and survivors of intimate partner violence.
  • FDA oversight and integrity: Calls for transparent scientific review free from political interference and for REMS or ETASU to be imposed only when necessary and not to unduly burden access.
