Prioritizing the Safety & Well-Being of Women

May 14, 2025

A coalition of over 100 organizations, including Hawaii Family Forum, has come together to urge Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Commissioner Martin A. Makary to prioritize the safety and well-being of American women by addressing the dangers of mifepristone, a drug used in chemical abortions. The letter highlights alarming data showing that nearly 11% of women who take mifepristone experience serious adverse events, such as sepsis, infection, or hemorrhage, within 45 days. ​ The signatories call on the FDA to reinstate critical protections for women, including in-person medical evaluations and follow-ups, to ensure their health and safety. ​ This united effort emphasizes the need to put science and public health above politics. ​ #ProtectWomen #HealthSafety #FDA ​
