Since the NWHN’s founding 45 years ago, we have worked with Republican commissioners and Democratic ones, but we’ve never before seen an FDA commissioner that was so afraid of an issue that he or she wouldn’t even respond at all. 

With lives on the line, we weren’t going to let the FDA ignore us. We are so grateful for your support and wanted to ensure that your voices were heard in a meaningful way! So on Monday, the 20th anniversary of FDA’s approval of the abortion pill, we held a socially distanced protest in front of FDA headquarters holding the names of all 12,000+ of you who signed.

It looks like we got their attention!

Pearson’s interview this week with The Huffington Post about the multi-decade history of the fight to bring medication abortion to the U.S.We thank you for standing with us as we continue to fight to protect access to abortion care.
