Dozens of influential anti-abortion rights organizations are mobilizing against Califf, sending letters to senators arguing he has “a track record of rubber-stamping abortion industry demands”
“Just a few days after Dr. Califf’s confirmation hearing, the FDA announced it would permanently allow abortion drugs to be available by mail order,” Tuberville said in a statement to POLITICO. “I believe Dr. Califf will continue to advance this administration’s pro-abortion agenda, and I cannot support his nomination.”
The stakes are high because five Senate Democrats have publicly opposed Califf over his record on opioids the last time he led FDA, late in the Obama administration, as well as his time in the corporate sector. With only four Republicans on the record supporting his confirmation and the possibility of more Democratic defections, peeling off even one or two more Republicans could prove fatal to Califf’s chances.
The groups working against his confirmation are now pointing to this comment as well as the FDA’s regulation of abortion pills under Califf’s previous leadership at the FDA to argue he’s the “wrong choice.”
