Jasmine Crockett Shuts Down Mifepristone Opponents Using 1 Unlikely Drug
HuffPost
The Texas Democrat used her "research" to get behind access to the abortion pill that's at the center of a Supreme Court case.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) mocked anti-abortion advocates’ argument to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone by making an example out of Viagra at a House Oversight Committee meeting on Thursday.
Mifepristone, which is one of two drugs used in medication abortion, is the center of a Supreme Court case that could limit access to a pill.
The case focuses on whether the Food and Drug Administration overlooked safety concerns with the drug, which the FDA approved in 2000 and expanded access to years later.
Crockett asked FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf, who has stated that mifepristone is a safe and effective form of medication abortion, whether the “medical management of a miscarriage” could potentially be a “life-saving usage” before asking him about Viagra.
“Would you consider erectile dysfunction as a life-saving usage for Viagra?” Crockett asked.
