U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) reintroduced legislation to roll back Food and Drug Administration (FDA) policies that expanded access to chemical abortion drugs.
The Support and Value Expectant (SAVE) Moms and Babies Act would restore longstanding safety standards governing abortion drugs, including reinstating in-person dispensing requirements, banning distribution through the mail or via telemedicine, and strengthening reporting requirements for abortion-related complications.
“The Biden Administration expanded access to chemical abortions via mail, reducing important medical oversight for these drugs and endangering more lives. Our bill will reinstate common-sense guidelines to protect mothers and babies,” said Senator Young.
“Chemical abortion drugs are often marketed as safer than common over-the-counter pain relievers, but that claim has proven tragically false for many women,” said Senator Hyde-Smith. “The SAVE Moms and Babies Act restores common-sense protections for mothers and their unborn babies. Chemical abortions are not safe, and at minimum, women deserve real medical oversight and the opportunity to see a doctor face-to-face.”
The legislation would also prevent the FDA from approving new abortion drugs and prevent further loosening of safety regulations for drugs already on the market, ensuring abortion drugs are held to the same standards as other medications that carry serious risks.
The SAVE Moms and Babies Act is supported by leading national pro-life organizations, including American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs (AAPLOG) Action, CatholicVote, Concerned Women for America, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Family Research Council, March for Life Action, SBA Pro-Life America, and Students for Life Action.
In addition to Senators Young and Hyde-Smith, U.S. Senators Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), John Kennedy (R-La.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.).
