Harris is meeting with reproductive rights groups on the topic at the White House and 'will address attacks' on the drug, the 'authority' of the FDA and women's healthcare, the U.S. official said.
WASHINGTON - Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to offer a defense of the abortion drug mifepristone in a meeting on Friday, according to a White House official, as some activist groups work to end U.S. sales of the pill.
Medication abortion has drawn increasing attention since the U.S. Supreme Court last year reversed its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which had guaranteed abortion rights nationwide. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, directed federal agencies to expand access to medication abortion in response to the decision, which has allowed more than a dozen Republican-led states to adopt new abortion bans.
Administration officials fear that courts could disrupt access to the medication, which is also used to help women dealing with miscarriages.
