Recent concerns have arisen from abortion-rights advocates following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the legality of the abortion drug mifepristone.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in the court’s decision, emphasized that anti-abortion advocates could still challenge the drug through regulatory bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Prominent abortion-rights activist Olivia Julianna highlighted on social media that efforts to restrict abortion through regulations are a key goal of Project 2025, a conservative group led by the Heritage Foundation.
Project 2025 aims to elect and employ conservatives in government roles, pushing for the FDA to ban abortion pills due to safety concerns.
“Brett Kavanaugh’s recent Supreme Court ruling aligns with the objectives of Project 2025, particularly in using presidential power to impose a national ban on abortion medication,” Julianna stated online.
Although seen as a win for pro-choice advocates, limitations imposed by states with strict abortion bans continue to hinder access to the drug.
During a recent campaign event, President Joe Biden expressed concerns about the broader implications of conservative Supreme Court appointments, referencing Justice Clarence Thomas’s remarks on potential reevaluation of issues beyond abortion rights.
