ACLU organizes opposition to Congressional restrictions on prescribing of RU-486. “…(A)nti-choice extremists in Congress…have introduced legislation that would impose
severe and unwarranted restrictions on the use of this
drug. Sponsored by Rep. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Sen.
Tim Hutchinson (R-AR), S. 3157/H.R. 5385 would
impose a variety of limitations on mifepristone,
including restricting the physicians who can prescribe
the drug to the limited number who are trained to
perform surgical abortions. These restrictions would
severely limit access to mifepristone and place it out
of reach for many American women.” With just two clicks, you can send a message to your legislators, adding your voice to those who believe that Congress should not substitute its partisan views for those of the medical experts of the FDA (if you agree…).
