Pro-life leaders and advocates responded with disappointment to Thursday’s ruling.
SBA Pro-Life America said in a post on X that it was “a sad day for women’s health and unborn children’s lives.”
The abortion lobby “gaslights women about the risks of these drugs and seeks to block states from even collecting safety data — even though the FDA’s own data show abortion drugs send 1 in 25 women to the ER,” the group said.
“[T]he fight isn’t over,” the pro-life group said.
Ingrid Skop, a board-certified OB-GYN and the vice president and director of medical affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, told the press that it was “deeply disappointing that the FDA was not held accountable today for its reckless decisions.”
“As a practicing OB-GYN with over 30 years’ experience, I have seen firsthand that mail-order abortion drugs harm my patients, both mothers and their unborn children,” she said.
The abortion pill is “not health care, it’s abandonment, and the pro-life community will never stop advocating for patients,” she argued.
Erin Hawley, meanwhile — who serves as senior counsel at the legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom — said in a statement that the group was “disappointed that the Supreme Court did not reach the merits of the FDA’s lawless removal of commonsense safety standards for abortion drugs.”
“While we’re disappointed with the court’s decision, we will continue to advocate for women and work to restore commonsense safeguards for abortion drugs,” Hawley said.
