Pro-Life advocates were caught off guard earlier this month. The Trump administration asked a judge to throw out a lawsuit that aimed to take FDA approval away from a commonly used abortion pill—mifepristone.
For many, this raised red flags. Was Trump backing away from regulating abortion pills—or worse, from the Pro-Life cause entirely?
But in the days that followed, both Donald Trump and RFK Jr. made moves that could tell a different story.
The lawsuit was filed by three Republican-led states. The case challenged the FDA’s decisions in 2016 and 2021 that made it easier to get mifepristone. Those changes let women take the pill up to 10 weeks into pregnancy (instead of 7) and get it by mail—without ever seeing a doctor in person. This can lead to even more dangers for the mother while continuing to take preborn lives.

The FDA still claims the pill is “safe and effective.” But new research says otherwise. A recent study found that 1 in 9 women who used the pill experienced serious or even life-threatening side effects. That has raised concern—not just from Pro-Life groups, but from lawmakers and doctors, too.
In a recent Senate hearing, Senator Hawley asked RFK Jr. if he still planned to take a hard look at the abortion pill, especially in light of the new study.
“You have previously testified to the committee that you would do a top-to-bottom review of mifepristone,” Hawley claimed. “Do you continue to stand by that, and don’t you think this new data shows that the need to do a review is in fact very pressing?”
“I have asked Marty Makary, who is the director of FDA, to do a complete review and to report back,” replied RFK Jr.
So yes—he’s still on board with holding the abortion pill industry accountable.
Meanwhile, Trump has been busy promoting his new legislative proposal: the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
The bill includes tax cuts and some conservative reforms—but it also delivers a major win for the Pro-Life movement.
One key section of the bill would block any federal funds from going to abortion providers (like Planned Parenthood), unless they follow the strict exceptions of the Hyde Amendment: rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk. The ban would stay in place for 10 years.
If these efforts are approved by the Senate, the abortion industry could face some serious setbacks—and that means more babies saved in the years to come.
Join us in prayer for President Trump and RFK Jr. They have not backed down. And for Pro-Life Americans, that’s good news. The fight continues—and so does the momentum.
