Overview
- Sen. Josh Hawley proposed a federal measure to force the FDA to withdraw approval of mifepristone and to let patients sue pill makers.
- Vulnerable House Republicans distanced themselves from the plan, pointing to a 2026 focus on the economy over abortion.
- Rep. Mike Lawler said he will not support the bill, and Rep. Max Miller backed a state-level approach in line with President Trump.
- The House companion from Rep. Diana Harshbarger lists five co-sponsors, and she said her team has not yet worked the bill.
- Anti-abortion leaders are urging action, yet the bill has little path in the Senate without Democratic votes as medication abortion now accounts for more than half of U.S. abortions.
