GOP lawmakers have proposed HR 796, a bill that would require the FDA to include a warning label stating that "the effects of mifepristone can be counteracted" or in other words, a bill promoting the dangerous & medically unsubstantiated abortion pill reversal. pic.twitter.com/EOtDyI5Mtq

House Republicans are trying to pass HR 796, which would require the FDA to include a warning label on the abortion pill (mifepristone) that falsely claims “the effects of mifepristone can be counteracted.”
The idea that an abortion pill can be reversed has been debunked in studies and by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists:
Facts are important, especially when it comes to policies and discussions that impact patients. Claims regarding abortion “reversal” treatment are not based on science and do not meet clinical standards. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) ranks its recommendations on the strength of the evidencei and does not support prescribing progesterone to stop a medication abortion.
Despite this, in states across the country, politicians are advancing legislation to require physicians to recite a script that a medication abortion can be “reversed” with doses of progesterone, to cause confusion and perpetuate stigma, and to steer women to this unproven medical approach. Unfounded legislative mandates like this one represent dangerous political interference and compromise patient care and safety.
