Investigating Mifepristone's Dangers and the Impact of Relaxed Regulations | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The abortion pill Mifepristone is now in the sights of the Trump administration. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the newly confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services, says he was tasked by the president to study the potential risks of the drug. Under the Biden administration, regulations of Mifepristone were relaxed, leading many, especially those in the pro-life movement, to raise the alarm about the potential dangers. Joining us for more insight into Mifepristone is Dr. Ingrid Skop, OB-GYN and Vice President of Medical Affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Dr. Skop discusses the safety concerns raised by the new investigation into Mifepristone, the adverse effects it may have on women who take it, and the potential dangers of the relaxed regulations, including the lifting of restrictions on mail-order delivery. Pro-life advocates argue that the health risks of the drug are under-reported by the FDA, and Dr. Skop provides further insight into these concerns. The investigation by the HHS Secretary may bring more findings on the drug’s safety, and Dr. Skop shares her hopes for what will be done with that information. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
